Sensor-based Patient Monitoring
Tobias Gebhardt
Demographic change poses significant challenges to healthcare systems. In the future, fewer staff will have to care for an increasing number of patients, creating risks for patient safety. Supportive technologies are therefore essential. Hypros has developed a sensor-based patient monitoring solution that continuously observes events around the patient’s bed and analyzes potential risk situations. These include incidents such as a patient falling out of bed or environmental disturbances affecting the sleep–wake cycle, which may lead to delirium. Artificial intelligence is used to analyze diverse sensor data and identify these critical situations.
