Conventional falls technology solutions detect when a fall has occurred so that staff are aware and can attend to the patient who has fallen. This approach represents reactive care.
Through location and activity based alerts, Oxevision can alert staff to early warning signs associated with a potential fall, such as a patient getting out of bed at night. These alerts can enable staff to intervene proactively. By attending to a patient before they have fallen, clinicians can prevent harm from occurring.
Up to 85% of falls in bedrooms are unwitnessed. If a fall is unwitnessed, additional care may be required as a precaution (e.g. in case the patient hit their head during the fall). This can be intrusive for patients and time-consuming for staff.
Oxevision provides staff with an opportunity to "replay" a fall: by observing exactly what happened, clinicians can more confidently select the appropriate care response.
Oxevision is designed to support existing clinical practice. It does not on its own guarantee patient safety or any improvement in clinical outcome.
