Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety and side effects of Sensable®Care System for inpatients. The Sensable®Care System uses pressure sensors and computer software to sense how patients are positioned on the bed in order to reduce bed falls. The Sensable®Care System Mattress has sensors embedded in them, which will be monitored by the nurses in your unit. This study has three specific aims: 1. To assess the comfort of the system when used with hospitalized patients; 2. To observe how the system can be integrated into nurses' and hospital staff's regular workflow to help to modify and improve the system. 3. To analyze data from nursing response to alerts generated from hospitalized patients to improve alert system performance.
In the context of reduce staff for supervision of dependent elderly, automated risk alert systems could have a positive impact on the organization of night care by better targeting monitoring. Residents' sleep could be less affected with use of automatic alert system than by systematic monitoring visits. One study shows an improvement in the humor of residents after the use of such a system. The hypothesis of the study is that the use of a bed-raising detection system linked with the activation of a lighting environment and a caregivers alert system (Etolya-F® gerontechnology device, Anaxi Technology Company) would reduce intervention time in this population, thus limiting the time spent on floor and its physical and psychological consequences.
