Hoana’s LifeBed patient vigilance system identifies patients as they begin to deteriorate and immediately notifies the hospital nursing staff – all invisible to the patient since there is no physical connection to the patient whatsoever.
This partnership, referred to as personal intelligent medical assistant, will examine how finding a patient in distress early reduces the risk of negative outcomes, injury or death, and reduces the cost to the hospital.
Although the Veterans Administration (VA) recently awarded Hoana a federal supply contract to outfit VA hospital beds at $16.20/day/bed, this program is funded with $1.7 million from the US Army Medical Research Command and the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center.
Patrick Sullivan, CEO of Hoana Medical, said: “This partnership is a tremendous testament to the growing awareness of patient safety and the remarkable commitment of these visionary partners to make a difference.”
