PATIENT DETERIORATION
75% of all adverse events and preventable deaths occur outside the ICU in unmonitored beds.1
The solution
Sensium®, seamless ambulatory monitoring for the general ward population.
Sensium® your early warning system
Sensium® is a discreet, wearable, wireless system for monitoring vital signs of patients outside of high acuity areas. By using a light comfortable patch worn on the patients chest, Sensium® accurately and reliably monitors and reports heart rate, respiration rate and axillary temperature providing data every two minutes. By notifying clinicians of changes in patients’ vital signs, Sensium® brings the nurse to the deteriorating patient.

Early detection of patient deterioration
Working as your early warning system, Sensium® provides affordable real-time monitoring for your patients. You can be confident in the knowledge that the Sensium® system will notify you of patient deterioration allowing intervention before the condition worsens, thereby improving patient outcomes, shortening hospital stays and lowering treatment costs.
Achieving more
with less
With ageing populations driving healthcare demand and heightened expectations of quality of life during and post medical treatment, healthcare providers globally are under increasing pressure to achieve more with less.
Cost effective patient monitoring regimes will become increasingly important tools to achieve these ends by:
- Improving patient outcomes,
- Reducing care costs associated with expensive and largely avoidable patient deterioration episodes,
- Driving clinical efficiencies through data and evidence based decision making.
Changes to vital signs were present prior to 75% of in-hospital cardiac arrest deaths.2
Each UK NHS trust spends more than £3M annually treating avoidable hospital acquired sepsis.3
36,000 bed days saved in general wards in each UK NHS Trust with a 10% reduction in Length-Of-Stay.4
Increased patient mobility
Getting patients up and mobile is key to faster recovery times and fewer complications. The Sensium® patch is lightweight, wireless and comfortable to wear and its unique roaming capabilities mean that patients’ vital signs can be transmitted as they move around. Using Sensium® means you do not have to choose between mobility and monitoring, you can have both.
Optimised patient care
We know that nothing can replace the hands on patient care that nursing teams give. Sensium® allows nurses to prioritise patient care where it is needed most, to the sickest patients. Every patient can be reassured that, even when the nurse cannot be with them, Sensium® is monitoring them and will notify the nurse if something is wrong.
Patient data on the move
Caregivers can conveniently view current values and trend history of patients' vital signs from any connected device within the hospital. If one or more of a patient's vital signs exceed a defined threshold value for a set period of time, Sensium® can deliver notifications to nursing staff via pagers, mobile phones and other handheld devices to warn them of adverse physiological incidents suggesting patient decline.
