Carer Assistance through Sensor Technology CAST

通过CAST项目，Redkit将提供一种解决方案，使护理人员能够远程为居民提供所需的护理。Redkit Solutions使用物联网技术，通过监测周围环境，更好地了解一个人的行为、健康和福祉。但对我们来说，这不仅仅是创造数据。我们专注于向护理团队提供他们所需的信息，以做出基于证据的决策，使他们所关心的人受益。在这些困难的封锁和隔离时期的额外优势是，该系统可以完全远程使用，最大限度地减少感染的传播，同时仍然提供高水平的情景感知。到目前为止，我们的传感器解决方案正与英国最大的独立生活村庄提供商一起使用。每个住院医生的每日报告将前24小时发生的事件告知护理团队，使他们能够一目了然地看到他们需要的信息。目标是创造一种非侵入性的解决方案，让居民能够更独立地生活更长时间。CAST项目寻求扩大解决方案的使用，特别是专注于帮助那些因疫情而最孤立的居民。一旦系统安装完成，只需不到2分钟，就可以完全远程使用。这让照顾者可以虚拟地“检查”居民，并更好地了解居民对隔离的反应。电话联系将允许护理团队讨论通过系统提出的问题，并可用于交叉参考护理团队通过电话收到的任何信息。护理团队可以将他们直接收集的信息与家人分享--让他们对亲人的病情更加放心。除了每天的报告外，自动警报还会通知护理人员是否发生了任何异常--例如长时间没有活动，或者他们的环境发生了异常变化。这使照顾者能够迅速做出反应来解决问题。该项目的总体目标是为照顾者配备一种解决方案，使他们能够继续提供高质量的以人为本的护理水平，即使他们身体上无法与居民在一起。这在满足居民护理需求的同时，又不会使他们面临感染COVID-19的风险。在CAST项目期间，我们确定了减缓甚至阻止新技术应用到护理组织中的因素。我们打算通过向护理机构提供更多的服务和技术解决方案来解决这些因素。项目延期和额外资金将支持我们发展这些服务，增加我们客户的利益，并通过更强大的合作伙伴网络改善我们在护理市场的地位。通过这个项目的扩展，我们建议：-增加与护理专业人员的推出和接触。-对传感器和通信技术进行更全面的现场测试。-扩大Covid Data Marker研究和报告的覆盖范围。-与潜在的新客户和其他第三方组织进一步接触。

Through the CAST project, Redgear will deliver a solution that enables carers to give residents the care they need, remotely. Redgear Solutions use IoT technology to gain a better understanding of a person's behavior, health and well being by monitoring the environment around them. But for us it's not just about creating data. We are focused on equipping care teams with the information they need to make evidence-based decisions that benefit the people they care for. The added advantage during these difficult times of lock-down and isolation is that the system can be used entirely remotely, minimizing the spread of infection while still providing a high level of situational awareness.So far our sensor solution is being used with the largest provider of independent living villages in the UK. Daily reports for each resident inform care teams of the events of the previous 24 hours - allowing them to see the information they need at a glance. The goal is to create a solution that is un-intrusive which allows the resident to live more independently for longer.The CAST project seeks to expand the use of the solution, and particularly focus on helping those residents left most isolated by the pandemic. Once the system is installed, which takes less than 2 minutes, it can be used entirely remotely. This allows carers to 'check-in' on residents virtually and gain a greater understanding of how the resident is reacting to the isolation. Telephone contact will allow the care teams to discuss the issues raised via the system, and can be used to cross-reference any information the care team receives on the phone. Care teams can share the information they gather directly with family members - giving them greater peace of mind on their loved one's condition. In addition to the daily reports, automated alerts inform carers if anything abnormal has occurred - such as a lack of movement for extended periods, or unusual changes in their environment. This enables carers to react at speed to solve problems.The overall aim of the project is to equip carers with a solution that allows them to continue providing a high quality person-centered level of care, even though they are physically unable to be with residents. This has the simultaneous benefits of meeting the resident's care needs, whilst not exposing them to the risk of contracting COVID-19.During the CAST project we identified factors that slow and even prevent the adoption of new technologies into care organisations. We intend to address these factors by providing additional services and technology solutions to care organisations. The project extension and additional funding will support us in developing these services, increasing the benefit to our clients and improving our position in the care market through a stronger partnership network. Through this project extension we propose to: - Increase rollout and engagement with care profesionals. - Perform more comprehensive field testing of sensor and communications technologies. - Increase the reach of the Covid Data Marker study and report. - Further engagement with potential new clients and additional 3rd party organisations.
