Mobility monitoring

Find out more about patient monitoring innovations that help manage the growing problem of alarm fatigue, including a hospital sound environment designed around the caregiver and their patients.

Alarming systems that can’t guarantee delivery or respond to system breaks can create stress and uncertainty for caregivers. Philips takes a system approach to alarm management by distributing alerts across the bedside, central patient monitoring system and Care Assist mobile app*. All three share the same standards for alarm safety and work together to help deliver clinical confidence and proactive patient care.

Philips PIC iX central monitoring system works with our Care Assist mobile app to enable clinicians to detect and respond to patient changes wherever they are in the hospital. Without having to walk to a central station, they can review and save wavestrips on the app. If they’re caring for a patient in an isolation room, Care Assist allows them to acknowledge an alarm and start/stop a blood pressure reading while putting on a gown and gloves and preparing to go into the room. Assignments are bi-directional between the app and PIC iX, allowing clinicians to assign themselves to patients.
