NewCare Solutions Announces Launch of SilentAlert Sleep Index

Oakmont, PA, March 06, 2014 --(PR.com)-- NewCare Solutions is proud to announce the market release of the SilentAlert Sleep Index (SASI) to their resident monitoring system. This exciting addition to their product line significantly enhances their SilentAlert Resident Monitoring System’s capability to increase resident length of stay and reduce hospitalizations. The SASI algorithm automatically builds a statistical model of normal sleep behavior for each monitored resident and, if that behavior changes, automatically notifies the appropriate caregiver that a clinical assessment may be necessary. This early warning, indicating that something has changed, can be an effective tool in managing each resident’s health, and avoiding problems before they become acute.

Communities using NewCare’s SilentAlert Resident Monitor System report a number of direct benefits that result in improved resident care. This inexpensive technology helps raise staff awareness, accountability, focus and their ability to provide timely assistance to residents in need. As a result, communities using SilentAlert are experiencing a reduction of resident incidents and earlier identification of behavioral changes, which are often warning signs of health problems developing.

This increased and documented visibility to resident issues, particularly overnight, has been used in physician and family discussions about residents' current health statuses and appropriate levels of care. Many families feel more comfortable with their choices of long-term care communities due to the availability of monitoring with SilentAlert technology.

“The introduction of the patent-pending SilentAlert Sleep Index represents a significant step forward for proactive monitoring of residents in personal and memory care communities. The SASI algorithm is quite powerful and unique in the industry,” explains Will Kaigler, CEO of NewCare Solutions.

Improved care and competitive advantage are what NewCare Solutions strives to deliver. For more information on NewCare Solutions and the SilentAlert Resident Monitor System, visit their website at www.newcaresolutions.com.
