monitoring skin temperature, activity and fall detection
viQtor extends patient monitoring beyond vital signs, offering continuous insights into physical activity, fall detection, and skin temperature. These additional parameters provide essential context for clinical assessment and early intervention.
skin temperature monitoring
Skin temperature is an important physiological parameter that can indicate potential health issues when deviations occur. viQtor continuously measures skin temperature within a range of 20°C to 42.5°C, with an accuracy of ≤1°C RMSE.
real-time tracking: By providing continuous skin temperature data, viQtor enables early detection of temperature changes that may signal infection, inflammation, or other clinical concerns.
contextual insights: Combining skin temperature data with other vital signs and activity levels allows clinicians to form a more comprehensive picture of a patient’s condition, improving diagnostic accuracy and supporting proactive care.
activity monitoring
viQtor uses a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope to track patient movement behavior with precision. Activity levels are categorized on a scale from 0 (no movement) to 5 (very active), offering detailed insights into mobility and physical engagement.
clinical relevance: Activity data enhances the interpretation of vital sign measurements. For example, an elevated heart rate during physical activity is often normal, whereas an increase in heart rate when a patient is inactive may signal clinical deterioration. Continuous activity monitoring also supports tracking of mobility and recovery progress, helping clinicians identify deviations that could indicate emerging health concerns.
smart alerts: viQtor detects significant changes in activity patterns and notifies healthcare teams, enabling timely assessment and intervention when patient behavior deviates from expected norms.
fall-detection
Accurate fall detection is critical for patient safety, particularly in vulnerable populations. viQtor employs advanced movement analysis by combining accelerometer data with barometric pressure changes to detect potential falls with high sensitivity and specificity.
automated alerts: viQtor sends immediate notifications to healthcare teams upon detecting a fall, ensuring rapid response and reducing the risk of complications following an incident.
help button: In addition to automatic detection, viQtor features a manual help button, allowing patients to request assistance directly when they feel unwell or need support.
location positioning: viQtor provides precise location data alongside fall alerts, enabling faster and more accurate emergency response in both hospital and homecare settings.
performance: With sensitivity and accuracy values ≥95%, viQtor offers a reliable solution for fall detection, reducing false alarms and ensuring critical events are promptly addressed.
