Portable nurse call / Elsi® Smart Floor improves health care
positioning
• The number of those over the age of 60 is projected to increase to
over two billion by 2050*. Many organizations and societies have
already begun experiencing this transition and the rest will soon
follow.
• There is not enough money, resources or personnel to cope.
Handling daily routines in care homes consume too much time.
Particularly accidents that take place during the night are difficult
to prevent and notice immediately.
• Cost savings are extremely difficult to achieve without compromising
on security and general wellbeing. The recent economic recession
combined with this challenge can seem overwhelming.
• By being proactive, Elsi® Smart Floor guides the nurse to help
residents at the right time. Routine checks can be reduced, thus,
saving scarce resources and improving residents’ privacy.
• Quality of life is hugely improved by knowing that help is always
available when needed 24/7, 365 days a year.
• Elsi® Smart Floor is invisible to the residents so its presence does
not compromise the precious feeling of being at home.
• Elsi® Smart Floor saves money, time and resources, and pays
itself back in 12 to 18 months, when the personnel have been
trained and the system is optimally used.
*World Health Organization “Ageing and Health,” 2018.
We are aware of a resident’s capability and how best to
support them. The floor can be programmed accordingly
so we can ensure we are not being intrusive, interrupting or
disturbing their privacy unnecessarily. Freedom, privacy and
dignity is important to us.
