INNOVATION

A remote, videoenabled patient monitoring system that allows hospitals to reduce the cost of “sitters” for patients by enabling observers to watch and interact with multiple patients who may be at risk of falling.

STATUS

The solution, AvaSys, is in use at more than 300 U.S. hospitals.

Sitter pay ranges from $11 to $40 an hour, while the cost to use AvaSure is under $3 an hour per patient, Brad Playford said.
