The Smart Bed Co-Innovation Project: An Industry-Partnered Initiative to Improve Patient Experience, Quality of Care, and Staff Workload Using Emerging Non-Intrusive Technologies
Information technologies that can provide health professionals detailed patient information in ‘real time’ can improve
patient experience, quality of care, and staff workload. However, to date, Canada’s health care system has been challenged
by limited adoption and implementation of new information technologies that hold great promise for achieving health
system transformation. To address these challenges, the Ivey International Centre for Health Innovation and Hewlett-
Packard Labs have formed a collaborative partnership along with Humber River Regional Hospital in Toronto, ON. The
proposed research will engage academic and industry researchers, information technology leaders, key decision-makers and
end-users (clinicians and patients/families) in co-creating, implementing, and testing out next generation HP information
technologies in the form of Smart Beds. The Smart Bed project envisions equipping patient rooms with highly sensitive
prototype accelerometers and related detection subsystems in an effort to demonstrate the types of patient level data contact pressure, vital signs) and information (e.g. falls, excessive/lack of movement, sleeping patterns, pain….
