Addressing Patient Safety Challenges

Seoul – December 9, 2021 –

People & Technology, a participant in the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Smart Hospital Leading Model Consortium, has signed a contract with Ajou University Hospital to implement a smart hospital leading model that prioritizes patient safety.

Core Solutions for Patient Safety Management

To tackle critical patient safety issues such as falls and pressure ulcers, the project will deploy advanced IoT and AI-based systems to provide real-time monitoring and proactive management.

1. Smart Fall Prevention Integrated Management System

• Personalized Risk Analysis: Identifies high-risk patients and caregivers based on individual tendencies using data-driven analysis.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Tracks the behavior of patients at risk of falls, providing immediate management of potential hazards.

2. Digitalized Pressure Ulcer Management

Pressure ulcers require early detection and treatment, yet clinical differentiation from similar conditions often poses challenges. To address this:

• Automated Workflow: Transforms manual clinical workflows into a mobile app-based system for automated pressure ulcer management.
• AI-Powered Diagnosis: Utilizes AI image analysis to assess skin conditions through captured photographs, revolutionizing traditional clinical protocols.
• Integrated Lifecycle Management: Ensures comprehensive and continuous care for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.

Expanding Digital Health Solutions

The project aims to digitalize and streamline patient safety clinical processes, with plans to expand to regional hospitals and long-term care facilities:

• Cloud-Based Pressure Ulcer Management: Establishes a scalable platform for widespread adoption.
• Smart Collaboration Network: Links Ajou University Hospital with regional long-term care hospitals to create a model for integrated healthcare delivery.

Demonstrating and Scaling AIoT Technology

By validating AIoT solutions at Ajou University Hospital, a leading tertiary care center, People & Technology seeks to create a replicable model for smart integrated patient safety management. The project will leverage the company’s eight years of field-tested technology to develop a success story that can be extended to other hospitals nationwide.

This initiative highlights People & Technology’s commitment to driving innovation in healthcare and improving patient safety through cutting-edge digital solutions.
