EarlySense, an Israeli company which develops contact free monitoring solutions, announced that it has been approved to distribute its latest Bedside Monitor and Central Display System in the Canadian Market. The company has boasted that it is bringing to Canada a unique solution that empowers clinicians to provide efficient, safe care based on early indication of high risk situations for falls, pressure ulcers or deterioration such as caused by Opioid therapy.
According to EarlySense, after monitoring over quarter of a million patients, results have shown significant clinical improvements in reducing patient falls, pressure ulcers and capturing a patient’s deterioration sooner. The results have demonstrated significant reductions in the average stay in the ICU for patients transferred from a general medical surgical environment, fewer code blue events and shorter overall length of stay, thereby improving care and reducing cost.

The company’s solutions monitor patients’ heart and respiratory rate, as well as movement, with a unique sensor that is placed under the mattress. The system was designed to address safety challenges as well as failure to rescue of those patients who are usually monitored by nursing staff approximately once every four to eight hours in general care floors and alternate care facilities
