At the renowned 11th International Health Dialogue in Bengaluru, Dozee, India's pioneering AI-driven contactless Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Early Warning System (EWS), introduced its groundbreaking Fall Prevention Alert (FPA) feature. This innovation aims to redefine patient safety within hospital settings, marking a significant advancement discussed among healthcare professionals and experts.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), patient falls are the most common adverse event in hospital settings. WHO asserts that falls stand as the second primary cause of unintentional injury-related deaths and constitute a prominent patient safety concern globally in healthcare institutions. Recent studies reveal that in India, falls carry considerable significance, with approximately 1.5–2 million older adults encountering fall-related injuries each year and 1 million experiencing fatal outcomes due to falls. Apart from the human toll, falls also incur significant financial burdens, encompassing escalated patient care expenditures and liability expenses.
Dozee's Fall Prevention Alert (FPA) feature marks a groundbreaking advancement in patient safety through its real-time monitoring functions and proactive alert system. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology such as the bed exit logging feature of the Dozee Sensor Sheet, FPA delivers tailored alerts for patients at high risk, guaranteeing swift intervention. Through auditory and visual signals, nurses receive immediate notifications when patients endeavor to exit their beds, facilitating prompt assistance and mitigating the likelihood of falls. Organizational-level settings further optimize workflow, positioning FPA as a holistic solution to elevate patient safety standards within healthcare environments.
