Milestone Systems moves to assist healthcare workers on patient care

It’s estimated that, by 2030, there will be a shortfall of 15 million healthcare professionals around the world. Milestone’s data-driven video technology can help hospitals respond to this crisis, while at the same time continuing to provide high-quality care.

XProtect Hospital Assist is a video solution that allows medical staff to remotely observe multiple patients at once and respond to incidents quickly, thereby easing the burden of some routine tasks.

Rahul Yadav, chief technology officer at Milestone Systems, said: “There is no doubt that the irreplaceable human touch of healthcare professionals is essential. By integrating data-driven video technology into their daily routine, they can now be even further empowered.”

Yadav continued: “With the use of XProtect Hospital Assist, hospitals can improve patient care by offering an additional layer of support for the healthcare staff. With an extra set of eyes and ears in patient rooms, our solution enables rapid response to incidents, ensuring the highest quality of patient care.”

By addressing critical staff shortages and streamlining efficiency, XProtect Hospital Assist paves the way for a better, safer and more connected hospital environment.

“We are proud to unveil this innovative solution,” enthused Yadav, “which is designed to enhance hands-on patient care and reinforce the vital role of healthcare professionals.”

Care on a 24/7 basis

Built on the foundations of XProtect – Milestone’s popular open-platform video management software – XProtect Hospital Assist is designed for those medical units treating patients who need around-the-clock or situational observation, such as individuals in intensive care and rehabilitation units.

Medical staff can use XProtect Hospital Assist to observe multiple critically ill patients at once and communicate with them. This reduces unnecessary room visits and offers a better use of staff resources. To ensure patient privacy, the technology is fitted with a live video blurring function.

Other features include automatic fall detection. This alerts medical staff when a patient falls, saving valuable seconds on their response time. In the US alone, up to one million patient falls occur in hospitals every year, resulting in roughly 250,000 injuries and up to 11,000 deaths.

In essence, then, XProtect Hospital Assist is a dedicated remote patient monitoring solution that allows the hospital to increase staff efficiency, react to incidents rapidly and provide high-quality patient care.

By providing the ability to observe, detect and respond to situations quickly, XProtect Hospital Assist is a product extension that expands the classic security solution to help improve staff efficiency, optimise patient care and outcomes and deliver a safer, more efficient hospital environment.
