2-minute read

Empowering care team members with AI-enabled virtual care and ambient monitoring solutions

The healthcare industry is facing significant challenges, including high staff turnover and care team member burnout. As hospitals struggle to retain clinicians, the financial impact is substantial—RN turnover alone can cost between $40,000 and $100,000 per nurse.¹ These pressures are further compounded by declining patient satisfaction rates and growing safety concerns.¹

Even in the face of ongoing challenges, the need for high-quality patient care remains. The care.ai SmartCare platform may help relieve some of the burden by integrating virtual care workflows into everyday clinical operations. By streamlining administrative tasks, the platform aims to reduce cognitive load and support clinicians with a smart, connected care ecosystem—intending to boost efficiency and make healthcare better for the patient and care team.

Smart workflows, more time for patient-centered care

The care.ai SmartCare Platform leverages always-aware ambient sensors and an AI-powered Command Center to manage and automate virtual care workflows, providing additional support to on-site care team members so they can stay focused on what matters most—delivering patient-centered care. By integrating data and near real-time analytics, care.ai equips clinicians with the insights they need to make informed decisions at critical moments throughout the patient journey.

Advancing the future of smart hospitals

As healthcare continues to evolve, connected care ecosystems are essential to meeting rising demand. care.ai will play a pivotal role in the transformation of smart hospitals, integrating with Stryker’s enterprise workflow platform, which includes communication devices, connected beds and stretchers, to enable dynamic clinical workflows. By seeking to reduce provider strain and enhance care delivery, the integration of care.ai into Stryker’s portfolio supports a more efficient and responsive healthcare environment.
