Active Patient Safety: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and RISK PREVENTION

Among the most frequent issues, especially in high-risk departments prone to injuries due to risky behaviors of frail patients, is the constant monitoring of hospitalized individuals.

Nursing staff alone cannot certainly dedicate exclusive attention to a few patients, particularly during a pandemic, and has the duty to provide necessary assistance to the entire ward.

However, it is evident that there are often situations that require continuous and careful monitoring since hospitalized patients are not always able to call for help autonomously or need more frequent checks to avoid exposing themselves to situations that could genuinely endanger their safety.

In such situations, TapMyLife’s active patient safety services, based on artificial intelligence systems and image recognition, ensure widespread and active monitoring of patients through simple cameras installed in the rooms of “at-risk” patients. This setup allows monitoring directly from the Nurses’ Station or via a smartphone available to them, with the assurance that in the case of abnormal movements (e.g., getting out of bed without assistance, falling, leaving the room), the healthcare provider is immediately notified, can visually verify the situation from the console in the Nurses’ Station or, if on the move, from the smartphone, and assist the patient in real-time to prevent the risk situation.

The TapMyLife system, highly parameterized and designed to ensure the highest level of assistance even in the most critical departments, is thus defined based on an innovative concept of ACTIVE PATIENT SAFETY. This ensures a prompt response in potentially critical situations, while also guaranteeing more effective management of human resources and the movements of healthcare providers within the department.
