Help return time to nurses1
One U.S. research study demonstrates how task delegation through tech enablement for virtual nursing, virtual monitoring and ambient monitoring can help bedside care team members reclaim time and help close the workforce gap.1
Projected shortage of 207,980 FTE RNs and 302,440 FTE LPNs by 20372
Potential workforce gap closure of up to 300,000 nurses by freeing up time through tech enablement and task delegation1
Conservative estimate of potential 15% net time savings through task delegation or tech enablement1
Flexible workflows incorporating human observation and AI sensors
Whether you aim to scale traditional patient monitoring workflows or augment human surveillance with ambient monitoring, we can co-design solutions that meet your needs.
Scale traditional patient monitoring resources
Scale virtual sitter resources by performing workflows like patient monitoring and night rounding through a virtual model. A virtual sitter can engage with a patient through an in-room speaker or bring in additional care team members as needed.
Augment human surveillance with ambient monitoring
As virtual team members provide oversight, ambient intelligence captures activity and data such as time stamps, compliance, operating room camera feed, surgical counts and more from multiple points of care. AI-driven, always-aware ambient sensors continuously monitor activity to autonomously detect presence, motion and behavior.
Product highlights
Always-aware ambient sensors
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.
Align with your protocols and processes
We don’t just deliver tools; we want to be your partner, aligning with your leadership and care teams to co-design solutions that align with your protocols and processes.
Integrate seamlessly
Our implementation teams work to integrate your care.ai solutions seamlessly with your existing systems.
Help ensure solution adoption
Our clinical specialists collaborate with your clinical leaders to help ensure solution adoption, support your team training and education efforts and work with you to quantify outcomes.
Virtual command center
The virtual command center is the intelligence hub for care.ai solutions, bringing together virtual care and ambient intelligence into one seamless experience. For virtual care workflows, care providers work from the command center supporting a curated task list or monitoring multiple patients at once.
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
With Virtual Monitoring workflows, a virtual sitter works from the virtual command center, monitoring multiple patients per your organizational policy. A virtual sitter can engage with a patient through in-room audio and notify the bedside team members on the unit floor if a situation needs attention.
In Virtual Monitoring, a sitter works from the virtual command center monitoring multiple patients at one time. A virtual sitter can engage with a patient through an in-room speaker and/or bring in additional care team members as needed. In comparison, Ambient Monitoring uses AI-driven, always-aware ambient sensors to continuously interpret activity, conditions and behaviors in the healthcare environment. Ambient intelligence can be incorporated into Virtual Monitoring activities to scale virtual sitter resources even further.
Yes. Because some patients may need multiple layers of care, Virtual Nursing sessions can be run simultaneously with Virtual Monitoring and/or Ambient Monitoring using a single ambient monitoring sensor.
