Virtual Patient Observation
Continuously observe patients to identify risks, alert care teams and intervene faster.
One-to-Many
Virtual Patient Observation
When seconds matter, real-time intervention is a game changer for patient safety. Using bidirectional video-based engagement at the patient bedside, Virtual Observation programs enable remote care teams to observe multiple patients, alerting staff to intervene when patient risk is detected. Layer in AI enhancements to automate threat detection using computer vision and radar-based sensors.
Continuous Observation's Many Use Cases
Healthcare organizations can leverage Virtual Observation to support a multitude of patient safety initiatives. Transitioning from a one-to-one in-person observation model to a one-to-many virtual model reduces adverse events, provides peace of mind for caregivers and families, and ensures a
return on investment from the first day of implementation.
