Hardware Tech: Cameras and Wearables

[Julie M Lenhardt]

What technology do you all use to provide pan/tilt/zoom camera functionality? Please share your carts, in room, and bedside tech stacks for workflows that need a close-up view (skin assessments, med recon, lines, etc..) Anyone using wearable devices, like smart glasses, to share what the bedside nurse sees?

Thanks Jonathan, as I travel to different facilities I hear that the carts get burdensome and agree that the additional costs of hardwiring is well worth it.

We are currently using Care.Ai’s devices to provide this PTZ functionality on a limited scale. My company is working through logistics with intention to expand it much wider from a footprint and use case standpoint. We are utilizing the integration with the in-room TV’s to create a two-way audio/video connection with a virtual nurse to the patient in-room. These cameras are fixed in each room, but exploring whether carts make sense in certain areas vs extra burden on the nurse to manage the cart.

Great question- i would encourage the others to share what they are  using. I have not seen wearables yet. However there are studies going on with Bluetooth earpieces for SRT.
