Personal Emergency Response System (PERS)
If you are a caretaker or nurse then you understand how important it is to provide your most vulnerable patients or loved ones with complete care. That means those with Alzheimers and dementia need added assistance so they are always safe.
At the same time, you don’t want a person to be confined to a bed if they are physically capable of movement. We know getting out, walking, and having a social life are all very important for our at-risk patients and loved ones. These types of activities often help prolong their lives, and, if nothing else, it enhances their quality of life.
So, how can caretakers and nurses help their patients be more active and safe at the same time? You may have tried to equip them with a panic button. However, there are some problems with that solution. What if the person falls and is not near the panic button? Or what if the person is outside and needs assistance? There are multiple scenarios where this will not be sufficient for our at-risk patients or loved ones. That’s why we’re happy to introduce the Libris device to caretakers and nurses. The Libris can go everywhere and there’s no need for pushing a button.
Libris is unique because it works on a wireless system. That means you don’t have to worry about where your patients or loved ones go; they are always covered. In fact, the Libris is the most advanced fall detection system on the market. All one has to do is simply wear the Libris device around their neck and the system does the rest of the work.
The unit is equipped with a call button for help or while waiting for help, but this is not necessary. Let’s look at some of the more intricate details of how the unit operates.
Sometimes when a person falls, they are in too much pain or are too confused to call for help even if the button is within reach. The Libris system handles that situation by detecting when a fall has occurred. It automatically contacts the wearer’s emergency response team and also provides the exact location so the person gets a prompt response.
Leasing the Libris emergency response system is a fantastic solution for caretakers and nurses who want to ensure the safety of their patients and loved ones and encourage them to be active at the same time.
But it does so much more than even that. It also has the capability to collect other medical data and share it with the care provider. Data collected could include blood pressure information, weight, and oxygen saturation in the blood. This information is easily accessible for the medical caretaker. So, if any problems are identified, the care team can respond appropriately.
Caretakers and nurses can rest easy knowing that their patients with Alzheimers and dementia will be safely monitored using the Libris system.
