IMPROVES PATIENT SAFETY

Kepler Night Nurse is a wonderful technology that allows us to take patient follow-up to the next level, thereby improving the quality of care and patient safety. In hospitals and beyond, understanding and managing medical alerts is critical to making such technology successful for users and patients.

MORE TIME FOR DIRECT CLIENT CARE

After two departments have been live for quite some time, now employees are coming to us when they can also start using Kepler Vision Technologies’ fall prevention/fall detection. They see it as an opportunity to have to check fewer alarms as a result and be able to devote the time left over to direct client care. This month, two more departments go live at Care in October.”

WE MAKE GOOD USE OF THE KEPLER ALARMS

“One of our clients is often restless at night and then leaves the bed or even the room. The psychologist and I can make good use of the Kepler Night Nurse’s alarms to see when this has happened, and we discovered that the client’s going to bed early was the cause of the restlessness.”

MORE PRIVACY BY KEPLER NIGHT NURSE

We noticed within ‘Het Koetshuis’ that the care was getting heavier and heavier, and that we had to regularly check in the residents’ rooms to make sure everything was okay. Kepler Night Nurse reduces the workload and gives people more privacy.”

LESS PRESSURE ON CARE

We chose Kepler to reduce the pressure on care. With their software, we are experiencing a huge drop in the number of reports – and the actual reports now actually matter. So we have more control of the site, clients feel safer and employees have more time to actually provide care.”

MORE PEACE OF MIND FOR CARE STAFF AND RESIDENTS

“Before, when we got an alarm, we didn’t know what to expect. Had someone fallen, was help needed or was it a false alarm because the comforter was hanging next to the bed? With the new system, we get different types of reports and that gives both us and the residents more peace of mind.”

IMPROVES PATIENT SAFETY

“With the Kepler Night Nurse, the night nurse in our neurology department has an additional means of monitoring confused and wandering patients. We are now notified if this patient gets out of bed or leaves their room. Another means of having fewer lost patients on this type of ward.”

clients feel safer

“We chose Kepler’s innovative solution partly to reduce the pressure on care. With the software, in practice we are experiencing a huge drop in the number of reports – and current reports now actually matter. We get feedback from several care facilities that there is more control at the location, clients feel safer and employees have more time left to actually provide care.

THE SAME CARE CAN BE PROVIDED AT HOME

Care home automation and IoT are playing an increasingly important role in changing care for the future, where, among other things, the theme of ‘remote care’ may continue to develop. This is to cope with staff shortages and to allow people to live at home for longer. By extending the same technologies within care institutions to home locations (informal care), the same care and safety can be provided at home as within a care institution.”

I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS SOLUTION

“Kepler Vision is a strong partner for us, bringing the most realistic data and experience in computer vision. The Kepler Night Nurse AI solution has great potential to support nurses in the general ward or in nursing homes, to prevent false alarms and help patients when needed. Most of all, I love the simplicity of this solution, which integrates seamlessly with existing systems, with a very mature algorithm that nearly eliminates false alarms.”

CASE STUDY CARE CENTER OCTOBER

THE SCENARIO
Oktober is an elderly care provider operating in the Kempen area of the Netherlands, concerned with maintaining the well-being and dignity of clients in their care. As such, they are constantly searching for ways to reduce risk, increase safety, and ensure their care staff can do the best possible job efficiently. Oktober looks after 600 clients across 9 care facilities.

In elderly care, falls are a persistent and often unavoidable problem, with the majority of over 65s experiencing one or more falls yearly. Falls in older adults can often be severe, resulting in functional decline, reduced quality of life, and in extreme cases, even death – with all of these outcomes more likely if they are left untreated for long periods.

THE SOLUTION
Traditional methods of monitoring the well-being of patients as regards falls range from regular in-person checks, CCTV, motion detectors, wearables, and pressure pads. Oktober used motion detectors to monitor when patients experienced falls in their rooms. While the system produced alerts when clients fell, it could not distinguish between a fall or any other movement (e.g., moving in bed), having far more alarms than staff could react to.

Oktober began upgrading its monitoring solution by implementing Kepler Vision’s AI-enabled “Kepler Night Nurse,” – which detects falls by analyzing live camera feeds in consenting clients’ rooms. It sends alerts to staff whenever a fall is detected. This allows staff to respond to falls in seconds while eliminating the vast majority of false alarms they would otherwise need to react to – freeing up staff time to focus on other aspects of proactive care.

Alwin van Deuren – Healthcare Innovation Consultant Oktober:

The danger presented to elderly people in care from simply falling cannot be overstated. Even mild falls can have profound long-term consequences for our patients if left unattended, but care staff cannot be everywhere. Kepler Night Nurse solves this problem by ensuring that staff can attend to patients the moment they are needed, without wasting time checking on patients unnecessarily. 

Because of how it benefits not only patients but those who look after them, staff have embraced the technology from the start as a way to reduce the ‘alarm fatigue’ created by poor experiences with alarm systems in the past. The Kepler Night Nurse provided the healthcare professionals with more time and opportunity to focus on residents in need of extra attention. Responses from patients have been positive as well. Kepler Night Nurse helps them feel safer and improves their sense of privacy because healthcare providers no longer have to check up on them for no reason.

RESULTS
Throughout a trial period, a sample group of 16 clients produced over 1500 alarms between the hours of 11pm to 7pm when monitored with traditional motion detectors over a week. The introduction of the Kepler Night Nurse reduced this to 30 alarms in the first implementation – identifying falls, leaving the bed, going to the bathroom, etc. – with every actual fall correctly detected by the system and promptly responded to.

 

CONSIDERATION OF PRIVACY
As the Kepler Night Nurse uses AI monitoring of live camera feeds to check on clients, each client was given the choice if they wanted to be monitored in this way. 100% of clients at Oktober facilities elected to have Kepler enabled monitoring cameras in their rooms to guarantee the immediate response they ensured in the instance of a fall.
