Smart Healthcare
SMART HEALTHCARE VISION
SmartNanotubes enables professional care takers to increase their efficacy and efficiency. By creating smart triggers based on digital smell recognition we can support healthcare staff in prioritization and decision making.
Problem
With an aging population and a shortage of professional care takers, it becomes harder to guarantee care quality. Elderly (care) and hospital patients (cure) during their worst moments are highly dependent on the support they are given by their caretakers. These care takers often lack actionable data triggers based on physical situations.
Solution
The smell detectors of SmartNanotubes will support professional care takers in their decision making by creating actionable triggers based on the patients’ well-being. The technology used detects any smell that can be associated with human discomfort at a very early stage.
Application
Together with partners in the field of Smart Healthcare, SmartNanotubes’ solutions are integrated into hospital appliances like smart beds, mattresses, and wearables to monitor the patient‘s well-being based on smell recognition. Smart control of basic physical care will leave more time for empathetic human care.
Solutions, Industry sectors and Integrations
Smart Hospital Beds
Our sensors can reliably detect odors that arise, for example, from bedridden, incontinent patients. If the odor is detected by our sensor, the nurse will recognize this via a smartphone app or on the monitor in the nurses’ station and thus can help the patient as needed and in a timely manner.
Elderly Home Care
Our technology can provide additional support for both the nursing staff and relatives which take care about elderly people living at home. Often there can be no support present at elderlies home all the time. Adding a smell tracker to elderlies’ beds can help keep tracking the elderlies body status, incontinence or sweat and other bad odors.
Body Smells
Our technology can be helpful for people with Anosmia, also known as smell blindness. Anosmia can be temporary or permanent e.g., due to a cold, an allergy, an accident, a gene defect or due to covid-19. In addition, older people often suffer from not being able to smell anything. Those people face a lot of constraints often asking themselves: do I smell or does my cloth smell?
