Increase efficiency and improve care in care facilities with an IoT solution
Similar to the rest of the healthcare industry, care facilities in many countries are affected by a shortage of care professionals and have difficulties finding and keeping enough employees. As a result, care workers are overworked, under pressure to finish the necessary tasks, and cannot spend a lot of time with the residents.
By monitoring residents’ irregular activities and alerting staff in case of any changes and emergencies, an IoT solution can help reduce the stress on care professionals and help them focus their efforts where it is needed. This reduces manual checkups and gives care workers more time to spend with the patients, improving the residents’ experience in the care facility.
Reduce stress and improve working conditions for care professionals
IoT technology can help reduce the workload and stress of caregivers and enable them to spend their time more effectively.
By tracking irregular activities of residents and notifying staff, an IoT solution reduces the number of manual checkups needed by care professionals to make sure that everything is okay. This frees up time in the caregivers’ time schedule and reduces stress.
As the solution can also notify staff in cases of emergencies, less pressure lies on the care professionals to manually monitor patients and make sure they are doing well.
Give residents at care facilities a better experience
IoT solutions can increase the safety and comfort of residents and enable them to live a more dignified and independent life within the care facilities without compromising their safety.
As a smart care solution can reduce the number of manual checkups through monitoring of irregular activities, the residents’ privacy and independence increase. At the same time, IoT technology can give them reassurance that they get help when they need it.
As the smart care solution reduces manual checkups, it enables care professionals to use their time more efficiently and frees up time that they can spend with the residents.
Smart detection of falls and other emergencies with IoT devices
With a selection of different IoT sensors and alarms installed in a resident’s room, the care solution can identify irregularities and notify the staff in case of an emergency.
A Motion Sensor can track the whereabouts of a resident and alert care professionals in case of a lack of movement. In the case of Alzheimer’s patients, for example, the Entry Sensor can notify personnel when patients are leaving or entering a room.
With a water-resistant call button, a wireless emergency button can always be mounted within reach - even in the bathroom. The Panic Button can also be worn around the wrist and enable the residents to call for help when they need it.
It is also possible to include additional 3rd party devices in the solution, such as blood glucose meters or fall detection devices. The Squid.link gateways from Develco Products are integrated with the Vayyar Care radar-based fall detector enabling effective fall detection in care facilities.
This way, manual checkups for the staff can be reduced and both staff and residents can be reassured knowing that the residents are safe and can quickly get help in emergencies.
