Aging Population
It is widely known that the world population is aging at a rapid rate. In the year 2000, there were 60 million people aged 60+ globally. That age group is expected to double by the year 2025, reaching 1.5 billion.
In the United States, the baby boomer generation is aging with 7,000 people turning 65 each day.
Medical staff and healthcare funding are not able to keep up with the rapid growth of the aging population, and so, the patient-to-caregiver ratio increases. When nurses are responsible for giving medication, assisting doctors with procedures, changing dressings, and monitoring multiple patients, there is an increased likelihood that the quality of patient care will suffer due to “alarm fatigue”. There are more than a dozen types of alarms that can sound hundreds of times a day, which could result in nurses becoming desensitized to distress calls and not responding with enough urgency when a patient emergency occurs.
About HelloNurse System
HelloNurse by At Box Technology is a patent pending wireless patient monitoring solution that addresses the need for a cost-effective central alarm system. Its unique 'cross platform' design works with different makes, models, and types of medical equipment. This allows patient status and medical device alerts to be immediately available to nurses and caregivers on one single screen!
By using HelloNurse wireless patient monitoring systems, nurses and caregivers are wirelessly connected to the patients wherever attention is required. More importantly, nurses and caregivers can be alerted to emergencies within seconds and can escalate an event notification, if needed. Simply put, HelloNurse:
- Increases quality of patient care
- Improves patient safety
- Increases staff efficiency
The ability to communicate or forward messages, while allowing nurses and caregivers to meet the needs of multiple patients without having to walk to different rooms, increases efficiency and reduces caregiver workload.
