The alert and communication system enables care staff to assess situations remotely and provide residents with ongoing protection.
The alert and communication system for nursing homes provides multiple ways to raise an alert: a remote control, wristband, pendant, pull cord or bathroom button.
In addition to alerts raised by residents, an optical sensor installed in each room provides further protection. Using movement analysis, activity monitoring and artificial intelligence, it can detect unusual situations such as a fall, an extended stay in the bathroom or changes in behaviour.
All alerts, whether raised manually or triggered automatically by the sensor, are sent to the carer’s smartphone through a dedicated app. An image of the situation in the room allows the carer to make an initial assessment remotely. Video or audio controls then enable them to interact with the resident, offer reassurance and explain that help is on the way.
The touchscreen hub in the room allows carers to control the indicator light outside the door, keep colleagues informed about the intervention and acknowledge the alert when it has been resolved.
The hub also helps residents stay socially connected. Its private family social network, which residents or their relatives can configure, lets them receive messages and photos and make video calls with loved ones. For night-time monitoring, the system can schedule virtual rounds, allowing staff to check on residents without entering their rooms and potentially waking or disturbing them.
