How Do Smart Beds and IV Pumps Enhance Patient Safety?
Smart beds and IV pumps are examples of smart technology that enhance patient safety in healthcare settings. Smart beds can monitor patients' movements, reducing the risk of falls and pressure ulcers. They can also alert nurses if a patient tries to get out of bed. Smart IV pumps ensure accurate medication delivery by using software to verify dosages and detect potential errors, thereby reducing the incidence of medication-related mistakes.
