Alerts & Reporting
Our back office system captures and analyses game play data to alert deterioration against clinical data sets A sudden drop in game play performance for example could indicate a UTI This data is also used to generate a Reminiscence Journal (pictured) which can be created at the touch of a button and incorporates information on what the resident has played how long for and what they have enjoyed along with recommendations for future game play These can be sent to families and included in personal care plans ensuring everyone around the person living with dementia is aware of what they are positively engaging with
With no IT integration required, the benefits to residents and carers can be realised immediately
Improved resident and staff wellbeing improved quality of family visits and a differentiated care home business
