Samsung and GHM launch new technology solutions for the care home

A brand new product that integrates a Patient Record system and Nurse Call alarm system is the star attraction on the GHM Communications stand S132 this year.

‘Samsung Care’ has been developed by Samsung Electronics, GHM Communications and nurse call experts Courtney Thorne.

Carers will be able to access patient records and information on a wireless tablet at the point of care. Any nurse call alerts will also be sent to the tablet and the relevant information for that patient such as medication, history and relatives contact details will be immediately shown. This integrated solution reduces the number of devices that a carer needs to carry whilst greatly increases the information available at a touch of a button.

Graham Vickrage of Courtney Thorne comments: “This is the first time there has been a true convergence of all patient information to a single device at the point of care. The technology is years ahead of anything already on the market.”

Wilfred Wood of Samsung comments: “Samsung is very focused on delivering products that users can identify with. This is a business tool with the personal touch, a solution that helps you to do your job more efficiently and is a pleasure to use.”

GHM Communications will also be launching a new warden call system for care villages and residential properties. The alarm operates entirely wirelessly and can notify a series of respondents such as a wardens’ smartphone or a call centre. It allows a two way conversation and features trip alarms and motion sensors, plus a single button to call family members.

Neil McManus of GHM Communications says: “We are really looking forward to bringing some very exciting and very affordable technologies to the care show this year. Care homes are at the forefront of our business and the range of products we have developed will contribute significantly to the level of care that can be provided and the range of services available to residents.”
