Jiali Mei Hospital introduces AI smart air mattress to assist in intensive care unit care

Nursing staff can instantly understand the care status of bedridden patients through the APP.

[Reporter Liu Wanjun/Tainan Report] Facing a long-term shortage of nursing manpower, Chimei Hospital, with the assistance of local companies such as Nanbao Industrial, introduced 21 intelligent pressure-reducing air beds, which are fully equipped for use in the intensive care unit (ICU). With the assistance of smart technology, it improves the comfort and safety of seriously ill patients and effectively reduces the workload of front-line nursing staff.

Tian Yufeng, director of Jiali Mei Hospital, said that in order to prevent bedsores and pressure injuries in critically ill bedridden patients, nursing staff have to turn the patients about every two hours, and two nurses must be dispatched each time. A total of 10 to 15 hours of work is required in a 21-bed intensive care unit a day, which is quite labor-intensive and has to be done. He hopes that through smart equipment, the burden of nursing staff can be shared, so that medical staff can have more time to devote to patient care and companionship.

Jia Chi Mei Hospital has joined hands with local companies such as Nanbao Industrial to introduce 21 AI intelligent air mattresses to improve the quality of critical care and reduce the burden on nursing staff.

Liu Yiping, director of the Nursing Department of Jiali Mei Hospital, said that the intensive care unit mostly treats patients with severe symptoms of unconsciousness, long-term bedridden or elderly patients. Nursing staff need to frequently perform turning, decompression and skin care, and are under high work pressure for a long time. In the past, the prevention of pressure injuries mostly relied on clinical experience. The AI ​​smart air mattress introduced this time has intelligent body pressure sensing, automatic pressure adjustment and remote monitoring functions. It can instantly detect the situation of patients leaving the bed and not turning over for a long time. It can also remind the patient through the APP and automatically generate turning and pressure reduction analysis reports to help the nursing team understand the care situation more efficiently.

Huang Yinglin, chairman of Nanbao Resin, pointed out that the company is deeply rooted in local areas. In addition to pursuing sustainable operations, it also continues to invest in public welfare and medical support. This donation of smart air mattresses is expected to help Jia Chi Mei Hospital protect the health of residents in the Dabeimen area, improve the quality of patient care and the peace of mind of their families, and become an important backing for front-line medical staff.
