What Is PreSAGE®?

In 2015, a collaborative research initiative was launched between CoNEX Healthcare and Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore's largest geriatric care facility, with the goal of reducing patient falls in hospital wards. This partnership led to the development of PreSAGE, a pioneering remote patient monitoring system that utilizes thermal imaging technology.

o Fall reduction: The system achieved a 34% decrease in patient falls.

o Productivity improvement: Staff productivity increased by 67%.

o Accuracy: PreSAGE showed a 91% positive predictive value in a year-long operational study conducted at Tan Tock Seng Hospital

 

The technology's non-contact, privacy-preserving features align well with the operational objectives of hospitals and aged care facilities seeking to enhance patient safety and reduce fall incidents. By leveraging thermal imaging, PreSAGE offers an innovative solution for continuous patient monitoring without compromising privacy or comfort.

AI-powered bed exit alarms

PreSAGE's AI-driven system detects when patients are about to leave their beds, alerting caregivers at least 15 seconds in advance. This early warning allows staff to respond quickly and prevent potential falls. When a caregiver arrives to assist, the system automatically deactivates the alarm, enabling the staff member to focus entirely on the patient's needs. The technology operates without requiring patients or staff to wear any devices or set up specialised equipment, as it relies on AI-powered detection methods.

Preserves privacy with thermal-imaging technology.

The device exclusively captures temperature data, without collecting any Patient Identifiable Information (PII). This design safeguards hospitals against potential data breaches and ensures patient privacy by preventing the exposure of personal identities.

24/7 Smart remote monitoring

PreSAGE employs cutting-edge thermal imaging technology to provide continuous fall detection monitoring 24/7. The system's intelligent algorithms automatically disable alarms when staff intervention is detected, allowing caregivers to focus entirely on patient care.

This advanced solution significantly boosts operational efficiency, resulting in a 67% increase in productivity.

Webapp dashboard for end-users, evidence-based

The device features a user-friendly interface that allows for easy control, real-time remote monitoring, and access to recorded footage for reviewing incidents after they occur. This interface can be accessed from any internet-connected device. PreSAGE adapts to the evolving requirements of patients by enabling caregivers to tailor the solution to individual needs.

This personalised approach ensures that care remains responsive and effective as patients' conditions change over time.

How it works

When PreSAGE picks up a potential bed exit, a physical alarm unit outside the room and a notification on the webapp is triggered, with the live view popping up.

Healthcare staff notices physical alarm or dashboard being triggered and responds to patient immediately.

When healthcare staff arrives at scene, PreSAGE detects staff's presence and turns off alarm automatically, so staff can focus 100% on the patient's needs.
