Overview
Protect
Monitoring safety of patients 24/7 (e.g. bed-exits, falls, wandering, etc.), automated and anonymized.
Prevent
Nurses get critical information about e.g. impending falls in time and and in a way that they can react accordingly. Furthermore they are able to adjust the system to the need of their clients and high false alarm rates from currently used sensors are a thing of the past.
Assist
Support activities of daily living (e.g. going to the toilet). Clients are guided through certain tasks autonomously by the DIANA virtual assistant. Nursing staff receives on-the-spot info in order to assist when needed.
Check
Observe behavioral trends and provide evidence for later assessment by clinical experts. Support the optimization of living quarters (private and shared rooms) in order to ensure the well being of clients (e.g. water and food intake, dead ends).
Technology
Participation in the Project
We are looking for care institutions and hospitals in EU who are interested in participating in our case studies. Contact us if you want to join one of our 3 pilot phases over the next 3 years :
1) Safety module: this is the basic module with functionalities like fall detection, bed-exits, access control or smart lighting interfaces, mobile alarm clients, etc.
2) Interaction module (application currently open): Additional functionality is added to provide assistance, especially on the toilet.
3) Analysis module (application currently open): e.g. study movement flows of resident in shared areas. This shall help to identify where people tend to get stuck during their wandering.
In order to take part in the project, the following requirements need to be fulfilled: your residents or part of your residents need to have mild to medium cognitive impairments.
