The Rinicare SAFE system is a fall detection and prevention system that uses a thermal imaging sensor and proprietary analytics algorithms to detect the potential risk level of a patient’s position in a bed, and it sends out an alert to nearby clinicians if the patient’s position is identified as high risk of resulting in a fall or an uncontrolled bed-exit. The sensor is placed on the ceiling above the bed of a patient, where the system monitors the patient’s position within the bed by identifying each position in relation to predefined position classifications. Each classification is assigned a risk level by the attending clinician based on the patient’s individual fall risk assessment to avoid false alarms.
The SAFE system is operated through a user-friendly interface that can be accessed from any Internet connected web-browser using a secure login. The graphical user interface only requires a few clicks from the clinicians to operate, and it provides a real-time overview of each patients’ currently identified position and the risk level associated with that position.
