OVERVIEW

MedSitter is a patient-sitting solution offered by IDSolutions for use in hospitals and other clinical environments to observe, monitor and communicate with people in healthcare facilities. MedSitter uses proprietary cloud-based software leveraging machine learning, vision intelligence, and natural language processing to provide care for multiple patients simultaneously—massively reducing the cost and staff resources required to provide 1:1 in-person patient monitoring. 

MedSitter consists of the all-in-one Logitech MeetUp and a medical-grade touch-screen display mounted on a mobile cart connected to a software-equipped sitter station that can serve up to ten patients at once. The video interactivity enabled by MeetUp reduces fall-related injuries, improves patient outcomes, enhances caregiver effectiveness and improves overall clinical efficiency.

CHALLENGE

Accidental falls are unfortunately commonplace in hospital settings and can result in devastating injuries, particularly among elderly patients. In-person patient monitoring by clinical staff can help reduce falls, but hospitals often lack the resources to provide proper round-the-clock observation to everyone in their care. Assigning this time-intensive task to busy and over-qualified staff is inefficient and therefore unsustainable. Yet the need is all too real, and the need never stops.

SOLUTION

The MedSitter patient-sitting solution makes it possible to efficiently observe multiple patients at once. The solution relies on MeetUp to provide 4K Ultra HD optics for a sharp, distortion-free 120° view of both patient and room. Built-in beamforming mics support clear, natural conversation whether the sitter is down the hall or in a distant location. MeetUp’s all-in-one form factor is ideal for mounting on a mobile cart, plus it’s super durable and easy to keep sanitized.

“After multiple rounds of testing a dozen different video cameras, our team found MeetUp was the closest (if not better) to a human being in the room,” said IDSolutions Vice President, Nicholas Luthy. “It just worked.”

“We’ve partnered with Logitech as a value-added reseller for many years based on exceptional quality, reliability and innovation,” said IDSolutions CEO, Tracy Mills. “Our visions are aligned with one goal in mind—connecting people.”
