With a more traditional approach to the adoption of new technologies, the healthcare industry requires that new solutions offer a real improvement to patient care in order to be considered. PrimeSense technology can make the difference.

With a growing population, coupled with relative stagnation in the quantity of care facilities and medical staff, the industry needs new non-traditional ways to care for people. Ways that allow smaller staff numbers to care for more people, faster and with higher expectations.

Using PrimeSense sensors and software from OpenNI, patients can now have their vital signs checked, medical records accessed, and have a whole host of diagnostic functions that can identify the slightest change — and that’s before they see a caregiver. PrimeSense is helping to provide medical staff with accurate, immediate information that allows providers to spend more time with patients.

PrimeSense 3D sensing technology also enables:

• Automatic health monitoring of elderly and other patients in their homes and at care facilities
• Real time and accurate biofeedback during the rehabilitation process for patients and medical staff
• Increased hygiene with the use of “touchless” displays for medical equipment of all kinds
• Detecting the presence of potentially evolving diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and others by gait analysis
