Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd and Digital Office Solutions Ltd (DOS) will launch Nurse Assist at the Care Roadshow Yorkshire on 4th November. The AI-powered solution uses Konica Minolta’s innovative sensor technology to provide round-the-clock detection and alerts related to trips, falls and unexpected bed exits.
With Nurse Assist sensors discreetly installed, residents and care professionals are reassured that should an incident occur, day or night, it will be automatically detected and an alert immediately triggered, for the appropriate response to be taken. This is made possible using AI that has been programmed to identify (with 98.95% accuracy) specific types of movements that indicate a trip or fall.
DOS has been a Konica Minolta partner since 2021 and Lee Ackermann, Regional Sales Manager, comments, “Living in a care, nursing or retirement home should give peace of mind, without the loss of privacy, or sense of independence. Nurse Assist is a highly effective way to provide a higher standard of round the clock care, in a respectful and unobtrusive way.”
Nurse Assist is easy to install and configure, requiring just one network cable that also powers the device. The sensor is simply mounted to the ceiling and works out of the box, with the system automatically detecting the bed position. In addition, sensors can be configured for use in communal areas such as living, dining, activity rooms and corridors.
