Safety for Hospitals and Health Centres – Rehabilitation and Discharge Planning Support

Author: Joannie Canchola

For hospital and health centre patients, Vivago’s product family includes unique solutions to provide safety and to monitor patient well-being and health. Vivago’s innovative solutions make automated and reliable continuous monitoring of the patient’s functional ability possible.

The ability to measure and document treatment ensures that treatment is based on information. Individual reports inform about changes in the patient’s health, help to plan treatment and discharge, and enable rehabilitation monitoring after surgery for instance. The information Vivago provides allows the nursing staff to focus fully on care, instead of spending valuable time writing reports.

Vivago Offers Solutions for Changing Needs

Vivago VIVA safety provides manual and automatic help calls. Vivago GO wandering detection has been developed for care units that provide care for patients with memory impairment and whose movements need to be monitored more closely. All solutions can be flexibly adopted based on the needs of the particular care unit.

The Vivago VITA well-being solution provides health and well-being monitoring of the care unit’s residents. By watching the activity curve, changes in functional ability and the effects of treatment can be monitored over a longer time period.

Wireless personal Safety

Vivago’s different care chain solutions are easily complemented with wireless personal safety technology. Personal safety can be implemented using either the Add-On safety button or the CARE safety watch. Using the Add-On button, the nurse can call for help. The Add-On button knows when it is active and before deactivating, it will notify the system it is being deactivated.

The CARE watch ensures help is provided also when the nurse call is not available. The CARE watch calls for help automatically if there is no activity. The help call can be forwarded to a different unit, a security firm, or a corridor display. The CARE watch also notifies it has been removedfrom the wrist.
