Kepler Vision Technologies and MOBOTIX expand AI solution

The NurseAssist solution from Kepler Vision Technologies and MOBOTIX received a major upgrade this week. The MOBOTIX c71 Smart Sensor now detects even more accurately and improves precision, resulting in fewer false alarms. The NurseAssist sensors remain fully GDPR- and HIPAA-compliant, ensuring patient and resident privacy and safety.

Following the successful launch of the NurseAssist, the first joint solution of Kepler Vision Technologies and MOBOTIX in November 2023, a new upgrade of the reliable fall detection has been launched with additional functionalities. It can be used in hospitals, elderly care facilities or psychiatric clinics. Compared to conventional systems, false alarms can be reduced by 90 percent.

The original MOBOTIX c71 camera had basic Kepler NurseAssist functionality, such as detecting whether a patient is in bed, out of bed or has fallen.
The Kepler NurseAssist software upgrade launched today can now also distinguish between; a patient sitting on the floor, a patient entering or leaving the room, a patient sitting on the edge of a bed, as well as when a patient enters the bathroom.
MOBOTIX and Kepler Vision Technologies are among the leading IT experts in the security and healthcare industry. Kepler Vision Technologies, the Dutch company specializing in computer vision and machine learning, has proven experience in healthcare and nursing, complemented by in-depth knowledge of AI in recognizing human activities. MOBOTIX has been active in the healthcare sector for many years and has successfully completed numerous HIPAA-compliant projects for hospitals, nursing homes and healthcare facilities.

Harro Stokman, CEO of Kepler Vision Technologies, says, “Since the Kepler NurseAssist technology was integrated into the MOBOTIX c71, we have received many requests from healthcare institutions for additional functionalities. We listened carefully to the wishes of the healthcare facilities and joined forces to realize the required functionalities. This is reflected in the upgrade of the sensor presented today.”

Thomas Lausten, CEO of MOBOTIX, added: “Our joint solution is being used with great success throughout Europe and our c71 camera model including the Smart Sensor is only getting better with each upgrade. The technology still has so much potential in the healthcare sector and is a real game changer in many ways. It allows us to provide better care and support for patients while easing staff workloads. Together with Kepler, we offer a unique, data protection-compliant tool for optimizing care from a single source. The solution provides an immense improvement in daily care and is easy to plan, configure and install thanks to its plug-and-play concept. The rapid deployment, use and integration into existing nurse call systems make it easier for caregivers to implement the technology.”
