Smarter Care Starts Here: Neteera Introduces a New Feature
If you're in healthcare, you know one thing for sure—pressure ulcers (aka bedsores) are bad news. According to healthcare experts, treating just one can cost anywhere between $20,000 and $150,000. Not to mention, hospitals in the U.S. collectively shell out over $26.8 billion each year just for pressure ulcer treatments.
​
But guess what? Neteera is here to save the day with some seriously smart tech that’s changing the game for healthcare providers.
​
1. Introducing the Position Change Notification Feature
Here’s the deal: when bed-bound patients can’t move for a long time, they’re at serious risk for pressure ulcers. But imagine if you had a system that notifies you the second a patient hasn’t shifted in a while. Sounds cool? That’s Neteera’s Position Change Notification Feature in action.
It works by sending an alert when a patient’s position hasn't changed beyond a set threshold (which you can customize based on your facility's needs). It’s like having a personal assistant for each patient. The smart solution classifies movements into minor shifts or more significant motions, providing real-time insights into patient activity levels. By distinguishing between these movements, clinicians can better assess recovery progress or identify early warning signs in patient health. This allows care teams to adjust treatment plans as needed, improving both patient care and operational efficiency.
2. The Motion Index Feature for Near Real-Time Patient Insights
Ever wonder how much your patients are actually moving—or not moving—during their stay? Neteera’s Motion Index Feature makes it super easy to find out. It graphs patient movements and categorizes them as “minor shifts” or “significant movements,” giving you a crystal-clear view of their activity levels.
​
This is an advantage for clinicians who want to track a patient’s recovery progress or spot potential issues early. With near real-time data, you’re not just guessing—you know when it’s time to tweak a treatment plan or take action. Better decisions, better care, and less time spent on guesswork.
​
3. The Patient Consent Registration Feature You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s face it—compliance is everything in healthcare, especially when it comes to patient consent. But who’s got time to manage all that paperwork? Enter Neteera’s Patient Consent Registration Feature.
This feature makes it super simple to track whether patients have agreed to have their vitals monitored. By default, consent is set to “Yes,” but clinicians can easily switch it to “No” with just a click. It’s like having a foolproof system for regulatory compliance right at your fingertips—keeping you ethical and efficient.
​
Neteera’s Got Your Back (Literally)
Neteera is putting smart back in smart technology with features that can help healthcare teams avoid pressure ulcers, gain valuable insights, and keep up with compliance. With personalized alerts and data-driven movement tracking, these innovations aren’t just improving healthcare—they’re shaping the future of patient care by offering smart, customizable solutions that directly address the daily challenges healthcare providers face.
