Product highlights

Always-aware ambient sensors

A care.ai sensor attached to the wall

Transform healthcare facilities into smart spaces

Always-aware ambient sensors are advanced, AI-driven devices embedded within care environments that act as the eyes, ears and intelligence of care.ai solutions.

Protect patient privacy

Using computer vision and AI-driven algorithms, sensors continuously monitor activity to autonomously detect presence, motion and behavior without intruding on patient privacy. Ambient sensors capture real-time data, infer patterns and identify deviations. They can notify appropriate care providers if a situation needs attention.

Help drive standardization and optimize workflows

Sensors can monitor for facility protocol compliance to help drive standardization and optimize clinical and operational workflows.

Consultative partnership

We believe transformation in healthcare requires more than just technology – it requires trusted partnership and deep clinical experience. Our platform is built hand-in-hand with frontline clinicians. We continuously incorporate their insights to address real-world challenges like workforce shortages, administrative burdens and patient safety risks.

Automate workflows, streamline compliance monitoring

In Ambient Monitoring scenarios, the command center draws on near-real-time data from always-aware ambient sensors. It automates workflows, streamlines protocol compliance monitoring and delivers actionable insights that support proactive interventions.

Get a single source of truth for situational awareness

The command center unifies capabilities, systems and more, delivering predictive intelligence and enterprise-wide visibility to enable smarter, more human-centered care. The command center can integrate with a wide variety of systems like the EHR, nurse call, documentation tools, interpretation services and IoT devices.

Support flexibility in managing care delivery

The command center’s workflow orchestration tools support flexibility in managing aspects of care delivery like receiving and completing tasks or notifying team members.
 

FAQs

Ambient Monitoring uses AI-driven, always-aware ambient sensors to continuously interpret activity, conditions and behaviors in the healthcare environment. Through seamless, automated awareness, it proactively monitors patients and events, surfaces real-time insights and can predict issues before they escalate. This can help clinical teams avoid adverse events, support standardization of care, drive throughput and quality, and more.

With care.ai solutions, ambient intelligence transforms ordinary healthcare environments into intelligent, always-aware spaces.
