Nursing shortages often lead to diminished patient interaction and care, especially in environments where nurses are responsible for multiple patients simultaneously.
The implementation of an “Observe Mode” with intuitive camera controls allows nurses to monitor patients remotely in real-time, reducing the need for constant in-person check-ins. This design decision alleviates workload by enabling nurses to efficiently oversee multiple patients.
Patients requiring continuous observation, such as those at risk of falls or self-harm, often need dedicated personnel, placing additional strain on healthcare resources.
Through the integration of flexible camera grids, “eSitting” allows staff to remotely monitor multiple patients from one screen. This feature not only maximizes the reach of a single caregiver but also reduces the number of in-room staff. Implementations of this design have reported a reduction in staffing needs for patient monitoring.
Monitoring patients in isolation, especially during infectious outbreaks, is resource-intensive, as staff must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and risk exposure upon entering and exiting the room.
The “Talk-to-Patient Mode” enables healthcare professionals to interact with isolated patients without physically entering the room, minimizing the use of PPE and exposure risks.
Rach is one of the most organized and competent UI/UX leaders I have ever worked with. She has an amazing knack for being able to quickly understand the core needs for complex user personas, coordinate and deliver on innovative designs, and keep everything organized behind the scenes to ensure we're all tracking towards the same goals and milestones. She is also an awesome team player and a sincere pleasure to work with. I would love to have the opportunity to work with Rach again.
