These IOT-enabled socks provide analytics that differentiate between a patient moving in bed or a patient attempting to get out of bed unassisted. The data is is collected by the sock, analyzed, and when certain criteria is met, an alert is transmitted via WiFi to a badge worn by caregivers notifying them of a patient\u2019s activity.<\/p>\n<p>Easier access to this type of data can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decrease hospital liabilities from falls<\/li>\n<li>Significantly improve response time to patients needs<\/li>\n<li>Reduce staff fatigue by providing easier monitoring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When properly implemented, these socks have been shown to reduce falls 50%. This is a noteworthy statistic when you reflect on the adverse effects of falls for patients and the financial impact to hospitals. Consider that every year nearly 700,000 to 1 million patients fall during a hospital stay and the value of the product becomes apparent. Given that the average financial cost for a patient fall is over $10,000 per fall ($10 Billion annually); using these hi-tech wearables has the potential to generate a huge savings. The financial costs don\u2019t take into consideration the personal cost and frustration for patients and their families when falls occur. In addition to monitoring for patient falls, the socks can monitor a patient&#8217;s activities to make sure they are complying with a doctor&#8217;s guidelines such as limits to weight-bearing movement.<\/p>\n<p>ADL is responsible for making the PC Boards which are added to the enclosures used in these socks and the caregiver badges.\u00a0 The digital components we provided had to integrate with the sensors in the sock and work in a variety of sock sizes.\u00a0 In addition the socks needed to be reusable and cleanable.\u00a0 We are proud of being selected as a partner for this project because it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reflects our commitment to quality<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrates our ability to build PC boards, assemblies, and more advanced integrations<\/li>\n<li>Provide design support for products as they evolve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What\u2019s your next project?
