Why Real-Time Monitoring is the Future of Alzheimer’s Care
Nearly 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, a number that is only expected to rise in the coming years (Alzheimer’s Association, 2023). As caregivers grapple with the complexities of this condition, one challenge is managing the agitation and anxiety that often accompanies it. What if caregivers could anticipate these episodes before they occur?
Neteera’s contactless patient monitoring solution offers a next-gen approach to Alzheimer’s care. Using smart technology, Neteera provides continuous monitoring of vital signs and activity patterns, helping caregivers respond to agitation in real time—without the need for invasive methods. By reducing physical contact, our solution promotes a calmer, more comfortable environment for patients, addressing one of the key challenges in Alzheimer’s care.
Real-Time, Non-Invasive Monitoring
Traditional monitoring often requires physical touch, which can increase stress for patients with Alzheimer’s. Neteera’s contactless technology eliminates that discomfort. Our solution tracks heart rate, respiratory rate, and activity levels continuously, offering caregivers a real-time view of the patient’s condition without direct interaction. This can reduces the risk of agitation caused by physical intervention, creating a more peaceful environment for both patients and caregivers.
Neteera’s smart systems can also detect early signs of distress—like elevated heart rates or sudden changes in movement—triggering alerts that allow caregivers to step in before agitation escalates. This real-time feedback is crucial in preventing episodes of anxiety, and in increasing patient safety and comfortability.
Data-Driven Behavioral Insights
One of the most valuable aspects of Neteera’s solution is its ability to gather data on patient behavior. By tracking patterns of restlessness, wandering, and sleep disturbances, caregivers can gain deeper insights into what might be triggering agitation. These data-driven insights help tailor care plans to the individual needs of the patient, leading to more effective interventions and a more personalized care experience.
For example, if the system detects an increase in nighttime restlessness, caregivers can adjust routines or introduce calming activities to reduce agitation. This proactive approach not only improves the quality of care but also reduces the burden on caregivers, allowing them to focus on more meaningful interactions rather than reactive responses.
Designed to Enhance Patient Safety and Caregiver Efficiency
Safety is a primary concern for Alzheimer’s patients, especially during episodes of confusion or distress. Neteera’s contactless system includes bed exit detection and alerts, allowing caregivers the opportunity to respond immediately if a patient is at risk of injury. This feature is especially critical in managing patients prone to wandering or sudden movements, providing an extra layer of support.
Additionally, by automating the monitoring process, Neteera’s technology frees caregivers from routine tasks, enabling them to focus on high-value activities like patient engagement and emotional support. This shift not only improves caregiver efficiency but also enhances the overall quality of care provided.
Promoting Independence and Communication
Neteera’s monitoring solution empowers patients by promoting independence while still helping caregivers to ensure their safety. Knowing they are being monitored without the need for constant physical checks allows patients to engage in activities with greater confidence. For families and caregivers, this peace of mind is invaluable.
Moreover, the data collected by Neteera’s system can be easily shared with a broader care team, including doctors and specialists. This improved communication fosters more coordinated care and ensures that everyone involved has access to real-time information about the patient’s condition.
A Future-Forward Approach to Alzheimer’s Care
Neteera’s smart solution addresses the growing needs of Alzheimer’s care, providing real-time, non-invasive monitoring that can help reduce patient agitation, improve safety, and empower caregivers. By embracing this next-gen technology, caregivers can deliver more personalized, data-driven care while enhancing their efficiency.
