Care and nursing homes

Frail people falling is a huge problem for the individual and society. It is likely that someone in a frail state who falls is severely hurt and might never fully recover. In addition to the ailment of this, a fall is particularly costly and derives resources from other important care issues. It is also a huge stress factor for health care staff. The responsibility to minimize falls with what is oftentimes equipment and methods from the past is tolling on staff. RoomMate provides a solution that staff trusts and embraces. Thus, reducing stress and supporting a digital transformation

We often come across organizations that pile one device on top of the other in an attempt to solve a very complex matter. This has a high risk of creating “digital fatigue” among staff. It will eventually burden the staff so much to look after equipment that needs cleaning, battery changing, logistics, reconfiguration, handling false alarms, and so forth, that a natural and understandable resistance to change will build. That is why it is important that the solution you chose to use supports staff in their everyday work and decision-making. 

RoomMate is a passive sensor and does not depend on the resident's understanding of how to use a button or pull a chord to call for attention. Pressure mats are in themselves fall hazards because of their wiring and general design that makes people try to avoid stepping on them. RoomMate will detect the resident's need for help with a 3D vision of the room. Because RoomMate is an intelligent sensor with the 3D vision it will protect the privacy of the resident while providing the care professional with relevant information.
