The Patient Status Engine is an advanced tele-health platform which monitors patients’ vital signs continuously, wirelessly and in real-time. This enables healthcare providers to know when to discharge their patients from hospital, and more importantly, to monitor their patients when they return home or into the community.

The Patient Status Engine serves as the eyes and ears to provide clinical support and patient care when caregivers can’t be at the patient’s side. It provides a constant connection between post-acute caregivers and patients, utilising technology and clinical process to expand access, improve outcomes and provide a better experience for the patients.

From a patient’s point of view, they simply wear the unobtrusive Lifetouch wearable sensor on their chest and go about their daily lives. This allows for complete freedom from cumbersome machines and reduces unnecessary hospital visits. At the same time, their healthcare team uses the Patient Gateway, which makes up part of the Patient Status Engine, to constantly monitor their patient’s vital signs. This is lifechanging and lifesaving as early signs of deterioration can be spotted, even when the patient isn’t in hospital. This gives clinicians peace of mind over their patient’s condition and gives the patient confidence in controlling and coping with their conditions as they know they’re being cared for, even when they’re not in the hospital.

The use of the Patient Status Engine offers a reduction in admissions, a decrease in costs, fewer hospital visits and peace of mind for everyone.
