Transforming Acute Care with Integrated Virtual Care Solutions | Interview with Linda Mayhue
Linda unveils an exciting announcement—our groundbreaking partnership with Caregility, a leading virtual care platform.
Watch VideoToday’s hospitals face challenges from every direction. From higher-acuity patients to staffing shortages, it can be difficult to provide quality patient care that’s also cost effective. Explore why hospitals are looking beyond traditional vital signs monitoring to add additional layers of support, autonomously — no patient compliance or clinical action required.
Optimize your monitoring for each patient’s risk level without overburdening clinical staff.

See HowDeterioration can be hard to identify in med-surg units. With high patient loads, it can be difficult for nurses to detect subtle changes and monitor vital signs frequently. Autonomous, radar-based monitoring can give your busy care teams an additional layer of oversight to help detect the earliest signs of deterioration, even when they aren’t in the room.
Meet the XK300Respiratory rate is the leading indicator of patient deterioration.2 Yet it remains the least often recorded vital sign3 — and when assessed manually, it is prone to significant error.4 With autonomous, contact-free monitoring, you can count on accurate heart and respiratory rate data to help you better predict deterioration.
See the EvidenceStaffing shortages topped ECRI’s list of Top Ten Patient Safety Concerns in 2022.5 In the face of widespread nursing burnout and critical staffing shortages, many hospitals are looking to their technology investments to reduce the burden on clinicians and help them focus on their true passion: patient care. Autonomous, contact-free, continuous monitoring can provide support and context to:
Manual respiration assessments can be time-consuming — and nurses report perceived lack of time as a top reason this vital sign is often omitted from patient records.6 Automated, autonomous monitoring can take this task off nurses’ plates so they can devote their attention elsewhere.
How Can Radar-Based Monitoring Help?When you know more, you can do more. What if you could get more patient data — like heart and respiratory rate — from your existing bedside equipment? With Xandar Kardian radar sensing integrated into your smart beds, telesitter solution or other equipment, you can:
We’re focused on innovations that help healthcare professionals change the standard of care — autonomously. When clinicians have ready access to accurate, real-time vital signs data, without any added time on their part, we can make a real difference for patients and providers alike.
