Collaboration of industry leaders to deliver improved patient monitoring and care optimization services amid time of widespread healthcare staffing shortages


BELMONT, Mich. and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7, 2023 - AvaSure, the market leader in acute virtual sitting and virtual nursing solutions and Ouva, a technology leader in AI-powered patient observation, have announced the integration of Ouva's comprehensive AI capabilities with the AvaSure TeleSitter® solution, delivering unparalleled patient monitoring and care optimization. The partnership represents another example of how AvaSure, the most widely deployed virtual care system, continues to bring innovative solutions to customers.

The collaboration introduces a fusion of technologies in which Ouva's AI platform-in-the-cloud observes bedside activity via AvaSure's virtual care and safety devices, offering real-time insights and alerts without requiring additional hardware installations at the bedside. This innovation enables rapid deployment of AI capabilities, presenting healthcare providers with a more streamlined and efficient observation process to reduce patient falls and elopements.

The combined solution offers critical benefits to U.S. hospitals facing staff shortages:

Guides observers: With Ouva's integration, the AvaSure TeleSitter® solution generates additional insights. Ouva's AI-driven alerts are delivered directly within the AvaSure platform, guiding observer attention precisely where it's most needed.
An ecosystem on AvaSure's widely deployed platform: This is yet another AI-powered offering from AvaSure, providing customers an open ecosystem of integrations among them fall risk decisions support and fall and elopement detection.
Extended coverage: For hospitals facing a shortage of sitters, resulting in patients being placed on observation waitlists, the power of Ouva's AI extends the monitoring capabilities, ensuring no patient in need goes unmonitored.
"AvaSure is excited to partner with Ouva to enable AI-powered patient observation," said Adam McMullin, CEO, AvaSure. "Our partnership signifies another bold step towards leveraging AI, redefining how we ensure the well-being of those under our care.
