Spring Hills Senior Communities in Henderson, Nev., features in-room sensors to monitor patient movement, according to an article on the Las Vegas Review-Journal website.
“With this technology, we can see a crisis before it fully develops,” a Spring Hills spokesperson said.
Other healthcare facilities are looking into adding technology that monitors patients around the clock.
“This helps us establish a baseline on a patient’s health,” said Mark Shaffer, executive director of Poet’s Walk. “That way, we can tell what their benchmarks are. If they normally have 15 breaths a minute when they sleep and all of a sudden it’s 100, we know.”
