Virtual 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.
Virtual Sitting for Safety Management

- Extend virtual support to bedside staff
- Set the stage for Hospital at Home programs
Integrate AI into Patient Coverage
Introduce AI services to Virtual Observation video feeds to:
- Augment risk detection
- Monitor care best practices
- Remotely track visits and room status
Success Story
This leading health system reduced sitter-to-patient ratios and is expecting a $1.7M annual ROI as a result of their Virtual Patient Observation program.
