Stanley Security it to partner with software manufacturer, Oxehealth, ‘to supply advanced patient care and staff safety systems for the UK mental health sector’.
Oxehealth’s technology sees secure optical sensors placed in a room to enable monitoring of human activity and vital signs ‘totally contact-free’, alerting staff to potential safety events, enabling remote taking of medical grade heart and breathing rate observations, and providing ‘smart activity reports’.
Oxehealth and Stanley Security added: “The system raises alerts on detecting high-risk activity, helping to prevent serious incidents. Handover reports provide objective data on patient activity, particularly at night. The software gives clinicians more time for hands-on care.”
“We are delighted to be working with Oxehealth on this and other systems for healthcare,” said Derek McLean, head of Technology Solutions, Stanley Security. “We have an excellent pedigree in this market – from safety and security to asset management systems. However, there has been a sea change in the company, with a focus on innovation and collaboration with organisations outside our industry. We want to add value to security systems and engage a wider audience. Working with Oxehealth is a prime example of how we’re now approaching R&D. It’s exciting and challenging, but the results so much more rewarding.”
