The ViSi Mobile (Sotera Wireless,
In one instance, a 79-year-old lady patient who required hourly
monitoring went into cardiac arrest at 11 pm, and the ViSi Mobile immediately
alerted the night nurses. She was immediately resuscitated and, shortly after,
admitted to the ICU. In another instance, a nurse prevented a post-op patient
from falling, when she noticed from the remote display monitor of the ViSi
Mobile that the patient was trying to get up from bed. In a third instance, a
ViSi Mobile was applied to an elderly woman with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
In the same morning shortly after she was transferred to the ward, her blood
pressure dropped significantly and her heart rate went up to 170 bpm. The ViSi
Mobile detected these changes and alerted the nurses, and the patient was
subsequently resuscitated. All these instances demonstrated that the ViSi
Mobile had enabled timely detection of significant changes in patient
conditions and had, in turn, enabled timely intervention.
