The solution aims to enhance a patient’s stay experience, improve the operational effectiveness of the hospital staff while lowering the energy consumption of the hospital. The solution allows patients to control electric appliances and lights using both touch and voice commands. The system also includes motion sensors in the washroom for patient safety and efficient use of electricity. Bed handrail sensors allow notifications to be sent to nurses for better safety of patients.
Speaking about the automation system, Vikram Thaploo, CEO, HealthNet Global, said, “The smart in-patient room automation solution comes with a contactless sensor, communication pod and cloud-based patient monitoring tool with an AI-powered triaging system which captures real-time body vitals, and provides round the clock monitoring for patients who were previously manually monitored. It also offers patients and attendants to get one-stop access to all room services such as housekeeping, food and beverage, nursing and feedback. Doctors and healthcare specialists can remotely monitor a patients’ health from a centralised patient monitor, where at a time, hundreds of patients can be monitored from the web dashboard and also from a mobile phone app.”
“There is a huge potential for AutoMaid to bring about a paradigm shift in the healthcare system with contactless health monitoring and an AI-based early warning system. It can also help in monitoring at-risk patients at home and enabling doctors to continuously monitor their health,” said Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group.
The solution also allows custom alerts to be put on every patient, helping doctors optimise treatment plans, focus on critical patients and provide improved proactive care. Other than that, this contactless remote patient monitoring and triaging system also helps in efficient usage of energy consumption within a hospital setup. Wireless motion sensors and smart switch nodes make sure that all energy devices are turned on/off based on motion senses in patient areas, especially bathrooms.
