View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety and side effects of Sensable®Care System for inpatients. The Sensable®Care System uses pressure sensors and computer software to sense how patients are positioned on the bed in order to reduce bed falls. The Sensable®Care System Mattress has sensors embedded in them, which will be monitored by the nurses in your unit. This study has three specific aims: 1. To assess the comfort of the system when used with hospitalized patients; 2. To observe how the system can be integrated into nurses' and hospital staff's regular workflow to help to modify and improve the system. 3. To analyze data from nursing response to alerts generated from hospitalized patients to improve alert system performance.
