Real-time fall risk monitoring is fully integrated within the Oxehealth platform, working alongside our other patient monitoring and safety features to provide a complete picture of care.
Our platform has demonstrated significant reductions in fall-related incidents:
fewer night-time falls
fewer paramedic visits
fewer ED admissions
fewer moderate-severity falls
fewer enhanced observation hours.
Our platform supports fall risk assessments and enables staff to implement effective fall prevention strategies. This allows them to intervene and monitor fall safety risks in real-time, ensuring quick responses and reduced patient falls:
“The severity of falls and associated injuries have reduced massively at night: I think it’s because we can intervene earlier. For example, we can attend to patients within seconds if they are disoriented or confused so they don’t slip and fall.”
“Dawn sleeps on an airflow mattress to prevent bedsores and needs assistance when getting out of bed. I check her every 15 minutes to confirm she’s fine, but in the meantime, anything can happen. Dawn relies on us to help her use the bathroom and to get dressed and so we need to be aware as soon as she tries to get up. At around midnight one night, minutes after I had been in to check on Dawn, the platform alerted us that she was getting out of bed. I went straight to her room and assisted her with using the bathroom.”
“I believe it keeps patients safer because you can intervene before that potential fall happens… You can get in there before they’ve fallen.”
Preventing falls in the elderly requires more than just risk reduction—it involves creating a comprehensive fall safety strategy that integrates environmental, behavioral, and health assessments. Oxehealth supports providers to seamlessly integrate fall prevention into daily care routines, helping older adults maintain independence while staying safe.
By combining fall alerts, detection, and continuous monitoring, your healthcare team can significantly reduce both the occurrence and severity of falls.
