百分之四十的護理之家居民每年至少一次,五分之一的這些泄漏導致骨折或住院。照顧老年人居民並不是唯一的風險下降。那些非或部分移動經常遭受壓力潰瘍,褥瘡,俗稱不足夠在床上移動。瀑布和潰瘍的風險顯著增加短組成的療養院。與員工捉襟見肘,他們的注意力被劃分在許多房間,床和許多居民。TeiaCare,總部位於意大利米蘭想給護理人員幫助並確保養老院居民得到他們需要的關注,當他們需要它。公司提供的第一個數字助理長期護理,使用智能視頻分析,以確保時提醒護理人員最需要他們的幫助。人口老齡化帶來了對自然資源日益增長的需求,如進入養老院。和我們的星球的人口急劇老齡化。2017年,聯合國估計有近十億人60歲或以上,全球人口的13%,這一比例預計會飆升。 However, the number of needed caregivers isn’t keeping up. By 2020, when nearly 20 percent of Europe’s population will be over 65, an estimated 800,000 more caregivers will be needed. Putting Patient Care First To reduce the risk of falls and bed sores, TeiaCare’s digital assistant, which consists of an optical sensor connected to a processor, is mounted onto ceilings. The processor uses a series of computer vision and deep learning algorithms, accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs, to analyze the visual data captured. None of the video data is saved or stored. Instead, the system identifies specific movements and resting positions in real time. The system then sends alerts directly to carers when attention needs to be given to a patient — perhaps they have fallen out of bed or have spent too long on one side and are at risk of developing an ulcer. Each bed is tagged according to the patient’s individual requirements. As well as real-time alerts, the system generates customized reports, giving staff an insight into patient movements, how long they’re spending in and out of bed, and allowing them to identify any areas for improving patient care. Caregivers also see improvements to their working conditions — they know that they’ll be alerted if something happens to a resident and can take appropriate action. This means less stress for them and improved working efficiency. For the facility owners, introducing the digital assistant means fewer liabilities, better quality of service and improved efficiency metrics. And families enjoy better peace of mind by knowing that any falls will be immediately identified and their relatives will get the help they need. Improving Patient Care Further TeiaCare is now expanding its assistant to monitor other behavioral and physiological traits. Activity tracking will help improve the care of residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease as they tend to suffer from wandering. By monitoring patient movements, staff can ensure that their safety is not put at risk. The company is also developing algorithms to monitor patients’ heart and breathing rates, using the same optical sensor-based system. This non-invasive way of monitoring resident vital signs could help ensure their comfort, prevent health deterioration and give families peace of mind. TeiaCare is a member of the NVIDIA Inception virtual accelerator, which provides marketing and technology support to AI startups.
