The solution aims to enhance a patient’s stay experience, improve the operational effectiveness for the hospital staff while lowering the energy consumption of the hospital
Healthnet Global has launched a smart in-patient room automation system-AutoMaid. It features an AI-powered triaging system that enables the continuous and accurate monitoring of a patient’s respiratory rate, heart rate and other clinical parameters without coming in contact with the patient.
The solution aims to enhance a patient’s stay experience, improve the operational effectiveness for 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 washroom for patient safety and efficient use of electricity. Bed handrail sensors allows notification to be sent to nurses for better safety of patients.
Speaking of AutoMaid, Vikram Thaploo, CEO, HealthNet Global said “The healthcare industry is shifting its attention towards value-based, patient-centric remote monitoring solutions, providing a fillip to the research of non-contact monitoring technologies. Non-contact technologies are unobtrusive, cost-effective, and can be used to monitor multiple users, making them an effective solution for monitoring patients en masse. 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 & 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.”
Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Group added, “As the healthcare system of India struggles with disproportionate patient-caregiver ratios, outdated “spot checking” monitoring methods, inconstancy in patient data collection, storage and compliance and lack of continuous monitoring solutions, new digital tools like contactless remote patient monitoring and triaging systems are set to become game changers in the industry to ease the burden on hospitals and healthcare professionals. Such issues were further deepened by the pandemic exposing the infrastructural inefficacies of the healthcare system. From COVID-19 patient care, to post-surgical follow-up, to ongoing care management for patients with chronic illness, there is a dire need for a clinical-grade technology to provide quality of care safely and at scale. Minimizing human contact with individuals who have an infectious disease, but are otherwise well, may reduce the risk of in-hospital disease transmission and enable high-risk health care workers to safely interact with patients through tele-triage. 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.”
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 set-up. 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.
