PSYCHIATRY

A Safer and More Predictable Work Environment

With accurate and contactless measurements of vital parameters, healthcare professionals gain access to essential information.

This facilitates informed decision-making in daily practice and enhances the understanding of the treatment environment.

Unique Challenges in Acute Psychiatry

Acute psychiatry faces specific needs and complex issues, which healthcare professionals often find challenging to address. This includes disruptions in sleep patterns, the demand for calm surroundings, diminished physical health, and limited ability to collaborate on vital parameter measurements

Unfortunately, self-harm and suicide pose significant challenges within the field of psychiatry, alongside an increased incidence of violence against healthcare professionals.

The Need for Improved Somatic Monitoring is Significant

Today, somatic monitoring in acute psychiatry is often invasive, sleep-disruptive, and requires significant staffing. Healtcare workers frequently need to physically check on patients and measure respiration rates at least every two hours, often more frequently in the beginning.

The need for improved monitoring was also highlighted in the report from the State Investigation Commission for Health and Care Services.

Advancing Patient Safety with Accurate, Contactless, and Continuous Measurements

In addition, the accessibility of sleep data, positional information, and motion analysis can unlock fresh perspectives and treatment options.

The importance of contactless and accurate measurements is particularly evident in the field of acute psychiatry, where patients frequently face challenges cooperating with conventional monitoring tools over extended periods or where such devices might pose a direct risk of self-harm.

Proactive Care for Patient Comfort

Utilizing our medical sensor platform, Vitalthings Guardian M10, we are in the development phase of a tailored solution for psychiatry. This ensures comprehensive monitoring of patient rooms, including bathrooms, while ensuring secure clinical supervision without the use of cameras. Simultaneously, it offers patients greater peace by avoiding unnecessary disruptions during the night.

For healthcare professionals, this provides increased security by offering insights into the patient's position before the door opens. You will also receive alarms for prolonged stays in risk zones or other abnormal behavior.
