AI-powered care facility automation platform care.ai announced an enterprise-wide partnership with New Jersey-based not-for-profit hybrid care provider Virtua Health, where Virtua will leverage care.ai's virtual care offerings, including its Smart Care Facility Platform and Always-Aware ambient sensors. <\/p>\n
care.ai's Smart Care Facility Platform includes a network of sensors spread through a care facility that monitors patients using AI, allowing the facility to collect real-time behavior data for clinical and operational insights. <\/p>\n
The Florida-based company's AI-powered offerings will initially be utilized at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, then eventually implemented in all of Virtua Health's acute care settings. <\/p>\n
The announcement comes approximately two months after the partners launched a pilot Virtual Nurse program in a medical-surgical unit that allows remote and bedside nurses to work in tandem. <\/p>\n
Patients could also communicate with a nurse via a two-way optical camera, and their family members could participate in the calls remotely. <\/p>\n
\"Our focus is not just on integrating cutting-edge technologies but on enhancing the human aspects of healthcare. By swiftly adopting optical cameras and ambient sensors, we're poised to markedly enhance the patient and care team experience, ensuring a safer, more efficient, and empathically connected healthcare experience,\" Michael Capriotti, senior vice president of integration and strategic operations at Virtua Health, said in a statement. <\/p>\n
THE LARGER TREND <\/p>\n
In 2022, care.ai scored $27 million in funding led by multi-asset investment firm Crescent Cove Advisors. <\/p>\n
Last year, the company announced it was partnering with Colorado-based remote patient monitoring company BioIntelliSense to integrate BioIntelliSense's BioButton wearablea product used for continuous vital-sign monitoring for 60 days that captures temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate at rest into its Smart Care Facility Platform. <\/p>\n
care.ai also announced a partnership with the Texas Hospital Association to create statewide adoption of AI-powered patient monitoring and a partnership with patient engagement platform Get Well, which allows patients to connect with care teams via the interactive TV platform already present in patient rooms. <\/p>\n
In June, care.ai announced it was partnering with multinational electronics company Samsung to integrate its Smart Care Facility Platform into the tech giant's displays for use by health systems, allowing for AI-powered patient monitoring. <\/p>\n
Clinical care teams could also attend virtual visits over care.ai devices paired with Samsung's displays. <\/p>\n
