Early detection of patient deterioration

Sensium® is the only wearable patch-based vital sign monitor with published data showing clinical and economic benefits5. Designed and optimised exclusively for ambulatory patients, enabling early detection of deterioration of mobile patients in general medical and surgical wards.    

75%  of all adverse events and preventable deaths occur outside the ICU in unmonitored beds.1

Early detection of patient deterioration

Sensium® is a discreet, wearable, wireless system for monitoring vital signs of patients outside of high acuity areas. Smart algorithms continuously process and analyse all patient data, generating targeted notifications of patient deterioration, efficiently bringing the nurse to the deteriorating patient.

Sensium achieves ISO27001 certification 13 February 2020 - Oxford, UK: Sensium®, a leading global brand in early detection of patient deterioration, has achieved certification to the internationally recognised ISO27001 standard, establishing it as one of the leaders in its field. 
Sensium showcased at e-health week 31 January 2020 - This week is e-health week in the Netherlands, where hospitals showcase the latest technology that they are deploying. 
Lancet publication finds one in five deaths due to sepsis 16 January 2020 - A new publication in the Lancet medical journal has concluded that there were 48.9m sepsis cases worldwide and 11m deaths in 2017. This equates to just under a fifth (19.7%) of all global deaths that year, twice as high as previously thought.

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. Smart algorithms continuously process and analyse all patient data, generating targeted notifications of patient deterioration, efficiently bringing 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.

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.

What our customers say about Sensium®

Within VieCuri we have recently implemented the ‘smart plaster’ SensiumVitals. This was a positive experience for VieCuri Medical Center. We deployed the system in Intensive Care in a short time and with good/efficient collaboration. We have experienced good cooperation with the Dutch branch of the company. Quick turn arounds, adherence to agreements/deadlines and an active attitude! We see SensiumVitals as an innovative product from a committed, collaborative organization. We look forward to further implementation within our hospital.

SENSIUM have supported us every step of the way from initial discussions to full clinical deployment. The Clinical Team worked with us to develop a new Standard Operating Procedure to ensure that the Sensium technology is truly embedded into our clinical work flow.

This could certainly have a use in the emergency department and from the emergency care phase right through the first couple of days in hospital when the patient is much more liable to deteriorate.

We have picked up episodes where the patient has begun to become unwell that we otherwise wouldn’t have done at such an early stage with standard intermittent monitoring.

I believe that Sensium Vitals has enabled us to improve the safety of our patients, as the continuous monitoring notifies staff of changes/deterioration in their vital signs. 
The notifications in vital signs alert the nurses to check their patients, allowing earlier interventions to be made, therefore preventing potential deterioration. I consider this supplementary monitoring an enhancement to patient safety and enriches the patient’s journey.

The patches help staff focus their efforts on the patients who needed the most support, It prioritises you.
Nothing will ever replace complete clinical observation and the assessment of the patients. What this does is alert you sooner, so you can fulfil those observations and assessments of the patient and activate the appropriate care and treatment for them.
