SLIDE 2
- The system triangulates all of the data captured to
create a 'risk profile' for each Service User, correlating their health metrics over any given period of time, so that our customers are able to identify a health decline in a Service User - before a health event happens and reactive care is required.
- ARMED focuses on highlighting risk in individuals
with complex needs, so that care can be focused in the areas where it truly needs to be, with less staff / resource required.
- Currently, ARMED is being used by several our
existing customers, including Dumfries & Galloway Council, East Dunbartonshire Council and Loreburn Housing Association.
- ARMED has from previous pilot identified
worrisome trends in patient groups, including:
- - Service Users who were significantly
dehydrated
- - Service Users experiencing weight loss
- - Service Users showing increased restlessness
at night, who were presenting an ongoing risk during the day
- - Service Users who have had a reduction in
muscle mass, despite an increase in weight and body fat
- - Service Users with a reduction in grip strength
- - Service Users at increased risk, as identified by
themselves.
