Traditionally, staff has been deployed to a
patient room to observe those at risk of
fall, elopement or personal harm.
This approach is highly inefficient and invades patient privacy.

technology and mobile communications
to more effectively reduce falls.
One central observer can remotely monitor and
communicate with patients requiring help,
and dispatch assistance as needed.
