What if continuous monitoring could give back time to clinical staff allowing them to focus on providing care, ensuring patients receive the attention they truly deserve?

Prevention and earliest possible intervention are the cornerstones of improving patient care. Still, failure to timely identify exacerbation is a serious challenge in general wards, where intermittent and manual patient check-ups often miss early signs of patient deterioration. Compared to ICUs, general wards face a higher risk of late detection due to limited monitoring capabilities, a problem closely tied to an overburdened clinical workforce.

The growing shortage of clinical staff represents a growing pressure on global healthcare systems. With high nursing shortages, nurses often face heavy workloads, trying to balance the demands of routine administrative tasks, and meaningful patient care.

Automated, continuous patient monitoring can be a powerful solution. By leveraging the benefits of real-time insights, earliest signs of patient deterioration can be detected and responded to before minor issues escalate. This is not about collecting data; it is about utilizing the data to ease the burden on staff and empowering them to focus on what truly matters: patient care. Earliest possible detection also helps reduce ICU readmissions, shortens hospital stays, and lowers overall operational costs of care.

At smartQare, our purpose is clear. We aim to empower healthcare providers to focus on what they are passionate about, caring for patients. Our technology supports strong professional-patient connections by making continuous monitoring a seamless part of everyday care.
