CHALLENGE

Accidental falls are unfortunately commonplace in hospital settings and can result in devastating injuries, particularly among elderly patients. In-person patient monitoring by clinical staff can help reduce falls, but hospitals often lack the resources to provide proper round-the-clock observation to everyone in their care. Assigning this time-intensive task to busy and over-qualified staff is inefficient and therefore unsustainable. Yet the need is all too real, and the need never stops.

SOLUTION

The MedSitter patient-sitting solution makes it possible to efficiently observe multiple patients at once. The solution relies on MeetUp to provide 4K Ultra HD optics for a sharp, distortion-free 120° view of both patient and room. Built-in beamforming mics support clear, natural conversation whether the sitter is down the hall or in a distant location. MeetUp’s all-in-one form factor is ideal for mounting on a mobile cart, plus it’s super durable and easy to keep sanitized.
