Regularly evaluating the clinical condition of a patient is crucial inorder to detect signs of regression early on. With the exception of guarded hospital wards, it turns out to be a challenge to complete measurements of all admitted patients adequately and in a structured manner, at regular intervals. In order to do this, the RadboudUMC uses ViSi Mobile (VM), a continuous monitoring system. Instead of measuring several times a day, a small locker on the patient’s wrist continuously registers five vital functions. An algorithm continuously calculates whether the situation is safe, or whether a nurse needs to be alerted. The regression of a patient is is brought to attention faster this way, and more preventive and predictive action can be taken.
