Provide an easy mechanism for a patient to
raise an alarm for help and assistance, instead
of the traditional call-bell system
Develop a comprehensive system that would
reduce the high turnaround time between
nurses and patients
Lack of insight about the nature of the
patient’s need
Provide continuous availability of the system
and reduce downtime
Situation
Challenges
Harbinger developed an IoT based Android
application which was installed in a smartwatch.
With just a single tap, the patient can alert the
nurses who are wearing the smartwatch. The smart
watch notifies the nurse through a tactile feedback
along with the details of the patient who is asking
for assistance.
Harbinger developed a unified single patient care
platform improving patient care quality. With the
patient alert being broadcasted to all the nurses
wearing the smartwatch, the patient gets quick
assistance and turnaround time in patient care is
reduced.
Implemented a steady communication between
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) LED devices located
above the patient’s room, with the smartwatch that
is worn by the patients. The light above the room
would glow ‘blue’ if a call has been raised by the
patient, ‘green’ if the nurse is attending the patient
and the light gets turned off after the nurse finishes
attending the patient. The light would turn ‘red’ if
the patient has not been addressed within seven
minutes, declaring urgency.
A call forwarding option is provided. In-case the
nurse could not attend the patient she can forward
that call to other nurses.
A low battery alert is included in the app. Once the
battery reaches 20% level it would
programmatically alert the nurse for charging the
device.

A hospital patient care app for an Android based smartwatch
2. The traditional call bell system was replaced with a faster and accurate communication system using a
smartwatch
Turnaround time for the nurse (to address the patient ) was reduced with the use of a alarm feature
Available nurse could attend the patient further reducing dependency
The system could be used round the clock without any downtime further minimizing the hospital
administration/staff efforts to improve service
With this system in use, the hospital attained higher HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment for
Healthcare Providers and Systems) ratings

To use a cost and user friendly device that can withstand robust conditions and offer a easy user interface with alert options, to automate and mitigate the time taken for the nurse to attend the patients in distress
To Implement a steady communication between BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) LED device with wrist watches
The smartwatch would be worn by nurses and patients having UL 1069 and FDA 510K certifications.
