Entertainment

One of the most important key features is to activate the patients in a nursing home. Higher levels of patient activation are associated with better self-management, better health outcomes and lower healthcare costs. Understanding the drivers of patient activation can allow better tailoring of patient support and interventions.

Thus, staying in nursing home, does not need to be boring. What about engaging the KOMPAÏ robot to play your favorite songs or display favorite movies? Or maybe, arrange 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 so the patients can 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, etc.), which are great for older adults with limited mobility.

Walking training

Staying in a nursing home sometimes doesn't give the opportunity to maintain the physical condition. 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 the steps and give 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

Telemedicine

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

The KOMPAÏ robot supports the setup of remote medical consulting and observation with optional sensor readings of e.g., body temperature, pulse, etc.. Stay connected to the doctor anywhere at all times.

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

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 take care of the tele communication. The robot can get in touch with the patients' and start video communications at scheduled times.

• Supports standard platforms like Skype, Viber, Teams, Zoom, etc.
• Permissions securely set up, to avoid conflicts with the GDPR regulative
• Getting automatically in touch with the right patient when incoming calls occurs (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 that the nurses do nursing, and that a robot provides the logistics?

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, higher welfare for the patients. Additionally, reduced costs and better resource coverage!

• Pickup and transport of trailers to the laundry
• Providing new bed cloths, towels etc. to each patient
• Being a mobile accessories provider
• Secure delivery, when required, by using individual authentication
• Three models for various purposes, KOMPAÏ assistant, KOMPAÏ delivery, 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 videos of the grandchildren?

Or, even more important; Let the robot encourage the patient so 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' service requests are handled nicely and rapidly!

• Serve coffee and cakes
• Display pictures and videos of their relatives
• Provide personal TV programs at scheduled times
• Play songs, or maybe arrange 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 provide special checking 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 potential unsafe situations like unintended "night walking" by the patients.

• Regular predefined rounds in the nursing home
• Sensor detection of patients lying on the floor
• Event based connection to the nurses, to notify when something is wrong
• Any picture or video are securely transmitted to the staff according to the regulations

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 welfare!

• Cognitive exercises on various level, based upon the newest R&D on dementia patients
• Individual adaptations 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 resources. This, especially, due to the time needed to get dressed in protective clothing for each visit of the patients. And, even more important; To reduce the risk that the caregiver might be infected.

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

The outcome? Better monitoring and care of the patient; Saved time to take on and off the protective clothing; and more time to focus on the other patients' needs.

• Standard functions for quarantine care
• Remote connection and control of the robot
• Entertainment for the patient
• Day and night watch
