Our anti-ligature monitoring units, equipped with infrared lights and an infrared-sensitive camera, are mounted to the ceiling and wall in each patient’s room.
Images captured by the cameras are automatically processed by advanced algorithms and transformed into actionable information.
Clinical staff can easily access this information via portable tablets and a fixed screen in the nursing station.
Our platform integrates seamlessly into your existing protocols, complementing the capabilities of your staff and supporting them to deliver improvements across multiple areas of their work. Explore its functions below.1
With our platform, clinical staff can view the patient’s room only during essential moments, ensuring that monitoring with vision is purposeful and patient-focused.
We’re here to make your implementation journey as straightforward and successful and possible – from installation to everyday use – ensuring your staff feel confident and fully equipped to get the most out of our platform.
In collaboration with patients, carers, providers and NHS England, The National Mental Health & Learning Disability Nurse Directors Forum has developed guidelines for the safe and effective use of platforms like ours. These include best-practice protocols for creating your standard operating procedure (SOP) and for obtaining consent. Patient and staff resources are also available.
Our platform covers the bedroom area. It doesn’t monitor ensuite bathrooms in patient bedrooms.
The platform works effectively in single-, double- and multiple-occupancy rooms.
When someone’s heart beats, their skin flushes red momentarily. Our platform’s infrared-sensitive camera can detect these ‘micro-blushes’ which are invisible to the human eye. It counts them to measure a patient’s pulse rate, in the same way a pulse oximeter finger clip does. It works for all skin tones.
When someone breathes, their chest and diaphragm move and expand. Our platform counts these movements to measure a patient’s breathing rate. It works even if they have a duvet covering them.
Our platform can detect where a patient is in their room. It knows where key locations are like the doorway and the bed, and it alerts to potentially high-risk activity; for example, if a patient gets out of bed or leaves their room.
Our platform assesses patients’ sleep patterns by analysing vital signs and movement data from its infrared-sensitive camera.
Yes – healthcare providers have the option to switch the platform off in individual rooms.
