Work is being underaken to validate the technical feasibility and commercial value of an innovative bed-exit sensor that has been invented by Safekeeping Solutions. The study will provide the evidence that the novel technology is desired by clinicians and can be used to develop an ACCURATE and PROMPT bed-exit sensor.

Rinicare plans to develop an integrated 24/7 non-invasive System to Avoid Fall Events (SAFE) that combines a thermal imaging (TI) optical sensor and bespoke algorithms on an embedded PC (EPC) into a Smart Surveillance Unit (SSU) to detect changes in a patient’s position in a hospital style bed. This information will be used to provide an early warning message (visual/ audio) to the clinician so the relevant action can be taken to prevent that patient falling out of the bed. The system could be used in both single rooms and wards and it is proposed the alarm system can be customised to suit the characteristics or behaviours of the patient.

Rolling out a Leeds-wide demonstrator of a new digital service, PainSense, to support patients with persistent pain. The service is integrated into a new pathway of care and provides patients with digital resources for self-assessment and management in the form of engaging multi-media smartphone apps. These are integrated securely with NHS clinical systems, allowing a GP or other healthcare professionals to better monitor and advise patients. PainSense aims to reduce the load on primary care through reduction in face to face appointments, and provide better care with less acute hospital admissions.
