Non-invasive Monitoring: Impact on Patient Management and Outcomes

In skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs), managing patient health presents considerable hurdles in accurately identifying and responding to deteriorating conditions. The intricacies of care within these settings are compounded by a high patient-to-healthcare provider ratio, often leading to infrequent vital sign checks with significant time gaps between assessments. This monitoring gap may result in overlooking early signs of health decline, potentially causing adverse patient outcomes. A February 2014 report by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) underscored this issue, revealing that around 22% of Medicare beneficiaries experienced adverse events during their stays in SNFs, with an additional 11% facing temporary harm events. Notably, 59% of these incidents were considered preventable, largely due to insufficient patient monitoring, care delays, and substandard treatment. In response to these challenges, Turtle Shell Technologies (TST) Private Limited has developed Dozee Pro NX, an innovative system tailored to improve patient monitoring in these healthcare settings. This system employs non-invasive sensors to continuously monitor crucial parameters such as heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2. Distinguished from traditional patient monitoring devices, Dozee Pro Nx offers advanced functionalities, including customizable notifications to alert healthcare providers of vital sign deterioration, thereby enabling prompt intervention. The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the potential impact of the Dozee Pro Nx system on patient outcomes, healthcare practitioner efficiency, and overall healthcare costs. This investigation aims to ascertain whether the implementation of this advanced monitoring technology can effectively address the identified gaps in patient care within SNFs and ALFs, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes and enhanced care delivery.
