Over 55% Resident Sleep Improvement and 100% Fall Prevention with Earzz Acoustic Monitoring
Traditional nighttime check-ins are essential in care homes but can disturb residents’ sleep and potentially miss critical events. Prior systems often used reactive measures, like sensor mats or cameras, which activate only after a fall has occurred or are intrusive for residents. St Cecilia’s Care Home sought a solution that was proactive, non-intrusive, and tailored to individual needs while enabling carers to respond more efficiently.
In September 2024, Saint Cecilia's Care Home in Scarborough partnered with Earzz to enhance the nighttime care and safety of its residents using AI-powered acoustic monitoring. This proactive approach aimed to improve sleep quality, reduce falls, and enhance carer response times to sounds indicating distress.
AI-Powered Early Alerts: Earzz provides real-time alerts to carers when specific sounds, like movement or coughing, are detected, allowing them to respond precisely when needed and in turn, reducing the amount of unnecessary physical nighttime checks.
Proactive Fall Management: It also recognises, logs and alerts carers for sounds of restlessness and agitation amongst residents at night - like screaming and coughing, helping identify health decline enabling proactive fall management and proactive care planning.
Real-time data Insights: Earzz provides meaningful data insights to managers helping them make proactive care planning decisions which enable proactive actions for care quality improvement and fall prevention, all while respecting resident privacy.
“We are seeing our residents really benefit from this technology, we are seeing them have improved sleep, improved appetite and indeed like anyone when you are well rested your day can be more enjoyable after a good night’s sleep. Additionally, we as a group are now looking to extend the roll out of Earzz across our homes so that more people benefit from what this latest innovative technology can bring.
