Entertainment

One of the most important key features is to activate the patients in a nursing home. Activation contributes to improved health, thus reduced healthcare costs. Additionally, a better understanding of the drivers behind patient activation, allows tailoring of customized entertainment.

Thus staying in nursing home, does not need to be boring. What about engaging the KOMPAÏ robot to play your favorite songs or display your favorite movies? Or maybe, organize karaoke or quiz?

The KOMPAÏ robot has building functions for various types of entertainment, and additional functions can easily be added on demand!

• Play music adapted to individual needs.
• Read news allowing the patients to follow what is currently happening in the world.
• Board games can enhance memory formation and help exercise cognitive skills.
• Audiobooks can be an invaluable resource for older adults looking for comfort or a sense of connection with the world around them.
• Playing videos about their hobbies (e.g., cooking, baking, birdwatching, knitting), which is great for older adults with limited mobility.

Walking training

Staying in a nursing home doesn't always allow the patients to maintain their physical health. The KOMPAÏ robot supports various functions for daily walking training and can easily be customized to individual training programs. The KOMPAÏ robot keeps track of steps and provides motivation on the way. The outcomes are better physical condition and increase patient welfare!

• Walking support between given locations e.g. from own room to the dining room
• Guided and supported walks to train physically
• Social exercises with music to encourage walking
• Scheduled workouts to remind and monitor physical activity

What about using the KOMPAÏ robot to perform daily exercises at home?

Telemedicine

How to keep contact with the doctor between the scheduled visits? Or, how to get in instant contact with the doctor in case of emergency?

The KOMPAÏ robot supports telemedicine and observation of body temperature, pulse, etc. Just get connected to the doctor whenever needed!

• Secure and encrypted remote connection between the patient and the doctor / nurse
• Remote measurement (indicative measurements) of body temperature, pulse, breath
• The relatives can be included into the tele consultations with the doctor

Telecommunication

Personal communication; Closer connection to the relatives; Active reminders to contact friends and family. These are all possible to achieve today. However, due to limited staff, these tasks are often deprioritized.

Let the KOMPAÏ robot establish the communications by letting the robot get in touch with the patients and start video communications at scheduled times.

• Supports standard platforms like Skype, Viber, Teams, Zoom, etc.
• The communication is being securely set up, to comply with the GDPR regulative
• The robot ensures getting in touch with the right patient when incoming calls occur (under development)

Facilitation and logistics

Why should a care giver need to walk 5000 – 10000 steps per day, spending 2-3 hours of work, just for logistics? Isn't it better to leave the logistics to the robots, so the nurses can spend their time and competence to provide patient welfare?

Leave the logistics tasks to the KOMPAÏ robot, and let it facilitate the work for the care givers. The outcome: Higher percentage of value-added working time, and better utilization of the care givers' competence. And the main benefit? More care and treatment, and then, increased welfare for the patients. Additionally, this results in cost reductions and increased resource coverage!

• Pickup and transport of trailers to laundry rooms
• Providing new bedclothes, towels etc. to the patients
• Secure delivery, when required, by using individual authentication
• Three robot for various purposes, KOMPAÏ assist, KOMPAÏ delivery and KOMPAÏ transfer

Personal services

True elderly care is to always meet the patient's need. What isn't better than a robot providing the necessary services for the patients with individual needs in an already busy morning? Maybe the robot can make a surprising visit, and show the patient videos of her grandchildren?

Or, even more important; What about letting the robot encourage the patient to get out of bed, and provide guiding to the sitting room?

The option for personal on-demand services is endless. Just, leave it to the KOMPAÏ robot, and be sure that the patients' wishes are handled nicely and rapidly!

• Serve coffee and cakes
• Display pictures and videos of the patient's family and friends
• Provide the patient's favorite TV programs at scheduled times
• Play songs, or maybe organize Karaoke?

Day and night watch

Let the KOMPAÏ robot take care of monitoring of the patients, day, and night. The robot can go predefined rounds and check specified locations. Everything can be securely monitored remotely by the staff. The advantage? Better overview of the patients' conditions; Faster response in case of accidents, like falls; or unsafe situations like "night walking" by the patients.

• Regular predefined rounds in the nursing home
• Sensors detecting if a patient has fallen, and is lying on the floor
• Direct notification to the health personnel if the robot detects something irregular
• And, of course; Any picture or video is securely transmitted to the staff according to the GDPR

Mental training

Cognitive / mental stimulation contributes to improved life conditions. With the KOMPAÏ robot's mental training program, any person, even with impaired cognitive ability, can be guided daily through various cognitive exercises. Better mental condition means higher patient welfare!

• Cognitive exercises on various levels, based upon the newest R&D on mental training of dementia patients
• Various training programs, which are individually adapted to the to the patients
• Reminder, follow up and motivation functions provided by the robot

Quarantine care

Fortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is under control. However, new cases requiring temporary isolation of the patients, will surely occur.

A patient put into quarantine, requires considerable, extra personnel resources. This, especially, due to the additional time needed to get dressed in protective clothing for each visit of the patients.

Let the KOMPAÏ robot stay together with the patient in the quarantine, and let the robot provide the basic services to the patient.

And the outcome? Better monitoring and care of the patient; Saved time to take on and off the protective clothing; and more time to the patients.

• Functions for quarantine services
• Remote control of the robot
• Various entertainment programs for the patient
• Day and night watch
