This innovative feature leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze visual information from patient rooms, enabling early detection of potential fall risks and alerting caregivers accordingly.
– The new AI capability runs entirely on edge devices, eliminating the need for cloud-based processing and ensuring data privacy. By processing visual data locally, Caregility addresses concerns about bandwidth limitations and data security, making the solution scalable and cost-effective for hospitals of all sizes.
– Caregility’s iObserver solution is already widely used for continuous patient monitoring, and the addition of AI-powered fall risk detection further enhances its value. By providing real-time alerts, healthcare providers can take proactive measures to prevent patient falls and improve overall patient safety.
“This breakthrough in AI at the edge is confirmation of Caregility’s ability to innovate,” added Mike Brandofino, Caregility’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “At the same time, no company can provide all the technology required to deliver on the modernization of care. Caregility remains committed to integrating with other AI technology partners where it makes sense in order to bring value and flexibility to our customers. This ultimately provides them with a foundational platform they can build on for the foreseeable future.”
