Andrei Soran, CEO of MetroWest Medical Center, one of the hospitals in Massachusetts that has installed the EarlySense solution, shares a success story.

The system records and documents the cardiac, respiratory, and motion parameters for a full hospital unit. This information can be seamlessly communicated to the patient’s hospital record through the standards based EMR interface. The system alerts staff when significant changes in a patient’s clinical condition take place, as well as when a patient is at risk of falls or pressure ulcers. Nurses are informed of patient status changes, via a wired or wireless, communication system, on the patient’s bed side monitor, at the nurse’s station, on their handheld devices and on a large screen display mounted in a prominent spot on the wall in the department. Timely alerts of patient deterioration help make hospital Rapid Response Teams more effective. The EarlySense system is FDA approved, has a CE mark and is cleared for hospital and clinic use.
