Patient Is UP
Palarum’s PUP® (Patient Is UP) solution utilizes a platform built around a patented "Smart" Sock and IoT technologies which document and notify caregivers when a patient is truly up and out of bed unattended. This technology is an advancement from the currently utilized methods in hospitals and provides hospitals and hospital systems with the technology and data to drive results within their organization.
Setting New Benchmarks
Patient falls in the U.S. are a devastating problem. Every year nearly one million patients in U.S. hospitals fall while hospitalized. CMS data reports that the average U.S. hospital experiences five falls per 1,000 patient days. The average medical cost for each patient fall is $10,220, or $10 billion annually. Results matter!
CMS Data: Five falls per 1,000 patient days
Palarum’s PUP® “Smart” Socks
A revolutionary, patented, wearable technology to help prevent patient falls and enhance rehabilitation therapy. Using eTextile and IoT technologies, PUP® socks issue real-time alarms to immediately notify nearby nurses that a fall-risk patient is out of bed, standing, and/or attempting to walk unassisted.
Cutting-Edge Notification System
Palarum’s "Smart" Badge was created as part of our platform to assist caregivers in responding to patient safety alerts. The "Smart" Badge is used to notify the three closest caregivers exactly which room a patient is up un-attended. This smart notification system helps drive down alarm fatigue and ensures the most appropriate caregivers are notified of a safety event.
Actionable Data
Palarum collects first of its kind real-time data of activity on our platform. This data, presented in easy to read dashboard and reports, can be used to help monitor and drive an institution’s fall prevention program.
