In today’s healthcare landscape, hospitals face significant challenges in providing continuous, high-quality patient care, particularly during night shifts when staffing levels are typically lower. Darsa AI’s advanced computer vision technology offers a groundbreaking solution to address these critical issues, focusing on patient safety and proactive care.
The Challenge: Unattended Patients and Fall Risks
The nursing shortage in hospitals has reached critical levels, with devastating consequences for patient safety
Nurse-to-Patient Ratios
- The average nurse-to-patient ratio in US hospitals is 1:6, but can be as high as 1:8 during night shifts.
- Studies show that for every additional patient per nurse, the likelihood of patient mortality increases by 7%.
Fall Incidents
- Falls are the most common adverse events in hospitals, affecting up to 1 million patients annually in the US alone.
- 30-50% of falls result in injuries, with 6-8% causing serious harm.
- The average cost of a fall with injury is $14,000, translating to an annual cost of $50 billion for fall-related injuries.
Unattended Patients
- Up to 60% of hospital patients report feeling unattended or inadequately monitored, especially during night hours.
- Delayed response to patient needs can lead to complications and extended hospital stays.
Our cutting-edge AI-powered surveillance system transforms patient monitoring and fall prevention:
24/7 Patient Monitoring
- AI-enabled cameras provide continuous, non-intrusive monitoring of patient rooms.
- Privacy-preserving technology ensures patient dignity (faces are blurred) while maintaining vigilance.
Fall Detection and Prevention
- Advanced algorithms detect pre-fall behavior patterns, allowing for proactive intervention.
- Immediate alerts are sent to nursing staff when a fall risk is identified or a fall occurs.
Activity Analysis
- AI tracks patient movement and behavior, identifying unusual patterns that may indicate distress or discomfort.
- The system learns individual patient baselines, allowing for personalized care alerts.
Staff Optimization
- Real-time data on patient needs helps optimize nurse rounds and resource allocation.
- Reduces unnecessary check-ins, allowing staff to focus on patients who need immediate attention.
Integration with Hospital Systems
- Seamlessly integrates with existing Electronic Health Records (EHR) and nurse call systems.
- Provides a comprehensive view of patient status and history.
Customizable Alerts
- Hospitals can set specific alert criteria based on patient conditions and hospital protocols.
