Addressing Specific Needs and Challenges of Acute Psychiatric Patients

These challenges can be demanding for healthcare professionals. They include sleep disturbances, the requirement for a tranquil environment, decreased physical health, and reduced cooperation during vital parameter measurements.

In addition, psychiatry faces challenges related to self-harm, suicide, and staff safety due to the potential for violence.

The Growing Necessity of Improved Somatic Monitoring

Today, somatic monitoring in acute psychiatry is often invasive, sleep-disruptive, and requires significant staffing. Staff members 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.
