It continuously monitors heart rate, respirations, and bed motion without ever touching the patient. Allows the clinical team to monitor and manage patients for early deterioration, fall prevention, and pressure ulcer prevention.

In the event of a change in patient status the system can notify the nurse at a central nurses station, on large screens, or personal handheld devices.

Difficulty with integration into existing communications systems.
Increased false alarms in patients on air mattresses due to vibrations in air mattress. May double read heart rate.
Sensors for the EarlySense system must be replaced annually. 
Hospitals must take into account ongoing maintenance, operational costs, service support, and standardization with existing equipment (Helfand, Christensen, & Anderson, 2016).]]> 2017-10-04 04:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_grant1234/a472cqpuxd8a/wish/193706116 lori_grant1234 https://padlet.com/lori_grant1234/a472cqpuxd8a/wish/193708470 Home monitoring of heart failure patients.

It provides a noninvasive means of monitoring patient's vitals and alerting the nurse to changes in condition earlier allowing more rapid response to acute deterioration.  Additionally, it can alert the nurse if the patient is a fall risk and tries to get out of bed.  ]]> 2017-10-04 05:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lori_grant1234/a472cqpuxd8a/wish/193709404
