EarlySense is demonstrating its contact-free, continuous, patient safety monitoring system at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) trade show, which is being held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, US, from 3 -7 March 2013.
The EarlySense system monitors patient and alerts if a parameter is crossed, which makes the patients, families, and the nursing staff feel comfortable, claims the company.
South Shore Hospital chief nursing officer and nursing services vice president Timothy Quigley said the system also alarms appropriately and provides information about patients in a timely manner.
"It also helps us to more proactively and efficiently treat our patients, avoid adverse events, save lives, and ultimately save the hospital money," Quigley added.
"The EarlySense System has made a significant and positive difference in the nurses' workflow at the hospital."
EarlySense president Tim O'Malley said, "The EarlySense System brings a unique 'systems' capability to the MedSurg environment by eliminating the need for the usual overly burdensome technology interfaces."
