Enhance patient safety with hellocare’s AI-Assisted Virtual Sitting Module. This service provides continuous, resource-efficient monitoring, supporting a high patient-to-sitter ratio. Utilizing AI technology, we detect and prevent adverse events such as falls and pressure injuries, ensuring vigilant care and immediate response when needed. Sitters can document interventions and alerts directly into the EMR via voice dictation, streamlining record-keeping without disrupting monitoring. Additionally, sitters can use verbal redirections to communicate with patients in their native language, ensuring clear and effective interaction. 

NESA Virtual Care enables instantaneous, live communication between providers and patients across all levels of care.

NESA's AI-powered platform is uniquely embedded directly in the EHR enabling single sign-on, virtual care, and documentation all within the electronic health record environment.

NESA supports comprehensive virtual care workflows, including virtual nursing, virtual sitting, interdisciplinary rounding, consultations, patient education, staff safety monitoring and behavioral health monitoring. These functions significantly enhance both patient outcomes and staff efficiency.

By empowering healthcare professionals to make more data-driven, real-time decisions, NESA greatly improves the delivery and timeliness of care.

It can perceive different elements, recognize them, analyze them, and enable caregivers to act upon them in real-time, all within a single virtual care platform.

And best of all - it's embedded within leading EHR systems, so there is no additional system to learn or sign into.

By incorporating these AI enhancements directly into virtual workflows within the clinical setting, healthcare organizations can increase patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, enhance user experience, and optimize overall operational performance.

A watched patient is a safer patient. While traditional virtual sitting models focus on a few patients with expensive hardware endpoints, the reality is that half of patients in the hospital are at risk for falling. LookDeep has zero-cost hardware endpoints that enable every room in the hospital to be set up for virtual sitting. Patients can be monitored for falls with the flip of a switch and without the need to roll cumbersome video carts around the unit. LookDeep also has the AI technology to nudge the person monitoring the patients to the ones that need their attention – to dramatically increase the number of patients monitored by virtual sitters.
