BEST-OF-BREED HARDWARE:

Fixed Ceiling or Wall Mount

This is one of the more elegant hardware options where small, aesthetically pleasing cameras and speakers can be installed permanently from ceilings or on walls. Hanwha Vision and Commend are NESA's exclusive hardware providers for this installation type.

Mobile Cart

The Mobile Cart offers two-way video and audio to support diverse clinical workflows, enabling remote communication and assessment of patients from virtually anywhere. Altus is NESA's exclusive mobile cart virtual care hardware provider, and has been serving as a valuable partner.

Fixed Wall Mount

The Fixed Wall Mount is our two-way video and audio virtual care solution that enables early identification of potential issues, facilitating rapid intervention when needed. Altus is NESA's exclusive hardware provider of the Fixed Wall Mount deployment option.

Embedded TV

This is an exciting product expected later in 2024. Soon, any mounted TV in a patient room can be quickly converted into a two-way virtual care device. This installation type can further streamline deployments, and integrate with leading edutainment platforms.

How to get started?

We recommend that you start out small with an innovation partnership or innovation procurement project with Pontem Data – full integrated solution in small scale. If the expected value and the estimated business case is in the right balance, then scale up through a larger innovation procurement tender. The initial project could be completed in a few months

Potentials in virtual care, treatment and prevention :

Providing the opportunity for a coordinating nurse role with an improved overview of the department. Not an extra nurse but one from the team having a virtual and consolidated overview of all the patients. Reduced length of stay, less stress for patients and staff, and improved flow are some of the benefits 

Providing the possibility for the more experienced nurses to assume the role as virtual nurses in order to support the colleagues with less experience when needed – at nighttime maybe even across departments and/or hospitals. 

Connecting clinical staff wherever they are to the patient room – allowing more time spent on treatment and care than on transportation and waiting time. Virtual nurses can act in a department set up or as a centralized unit

The virtual patient room provides the opportunity for the virtual nurse to handle the documentation while the bedside nurse takes care of the patient. Communication with the patient concerning admission, transfer, and discharge can be handled by the virtual nurse. Integrating the medical technical devices around the patient provide even wider opportunities  

The virtual patient room provides the opportunity for connecting the patient to translators, relatives, or key staff at home to optimize understanding of the situation. If the virtual care solution is placed at a nursing home, the admission could even remain at the nursing home. 

The virtual patient room provides AI-powered monitoring to predict and prevent falls and other adverse events. In cases where you would decide to have a bedside nurse monitoring the patient constantly, you now have a telesitting solution at hand. The AI solutions will notify the virtual nurse when needed and the bedside nurses can focus their time on more patient contact.
