This is a noteworthy statistic when you <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; color: black;\">reflect on the adverse effects of falls for patients and the financial impact to hospitals.<\/span> Consider that every year nearly 700,000 to 1 million patients fall during a hospital stay and the value of the product becomes apparent.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The financial costs don&#8217;t take into consideration the personal cost and frustration for patients and their families when falls occur.<\/p>\n<p>What does all this have to do with ADL?\u00a0 ADL is responsible for making the PC Boards and enclosures which are used in these socks and the caregiver badges.\u00a0 <strong>We are proud of being selected as a partner for this project because it:<\/strong><\/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 for wearable technology or a medical device?\u00a0\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lsicorp.com\/adl\/contact\/\">Contact ADL Technolog<\/a><\/strong>y so we can partner with you to build a better world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These IOT enabled socks also provide analytics that differentiate when a patient is moving in bed or attempts to get out of bed unassisted.\u00a0 The data is is collected and then transmitted via WiFi to a badge worn by caregivers notifying them of a patient\u2019s activity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-case-studies","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
