Elderly Care Sensors: SafeTSense

PointRF is a real-time location services (RTLS) business intelligence solutions provider that has released a new system for long-term and acute healthcare institutions.

Called the NoWander platform the product allow facility staff members to monitor and document a patient activities over time and be alerted to possible injuries or onsets of additional health issues.

Floor pad sensors, Pressure-sensing beds and wheelchair sensors alert staff to a patient taking a fall, needing to have their position shifted, as well as track behavioral patterns that could indicate a potential problem that the staff needs to address like if a patient is getting up more at night from their typical sleeping pattern.

The company recently announced a new embedded sensor diaper product that shifts patient care from typical scheduled changes to notification-driven diaper changes based on the amount of moisture detected. With the goal of increasing resident satisfaction, improving on staff productivity as well as saving money on supplies.
