Transforming Nursing Home Care with Blockchain
In an era where transparency and efficiency are vital, the collaboration between Xpander and ISECO, an innovative Valencian company, has set a milestone in the nursing home sector. The fusion of Xpander's blockchain expertise with ISECO's technological strength has given rise to a revolutionary solution that redefines personalised care and efficient management in these centres.
ISECO, with its long history of developing software for nursing homes, has devised a platform that digitises the interaction between nursing staff and residents. When the nurse arrives at the patient's room, she uses a card similar to a hotel card to check the patient in, while a tablet allows every action to be documented, from the administration of medication to the meals provided.
Not only does this methodology facilitate accurate, real-time recording of activities, but also, thanks to Xpander's blockchain technology, each record is time-stamped and stored securely and immutably. Family members can access a daily report through an online platform, providing a channel of transparency and trust between the residence and the residents' loved ones.
But the progress does not stop there. Smart contracts have introduced a higher level of monitoring and response. For example, monitoring residents' toilet visits has enabled the detection of deviations in routines that could indicate health problems. A smart contract generates an alarm if a resident visits the bathroom with unusual frequency, enabling early and proactive intervention by nursing staff.
The implementation of oracles to validate information before executing smart contracts has added an extra layer of accuracy and reliability. In situations where the information captured could be erroneous or misleading, oracles help avoid false alarms, ensuring that staff only receive meaningful alerts that require their attention.
The impact of this collaboration goes beyond operational improvements. In a related case, the technology implemented helped reduce claims in a project with Ford by 85%, illustrating the enormous potential of blockchain to improve quality and trust in different industry sectors..
The partnership between Xpander and ISECO has not only created a robust solution for nursing home management, but has also set an inspiring precedent for how blockchain and smart contracts can be catalysts for transparency and efficiency in various fields. This success story highlights the power of collaborative innovation to overcome challenges and raise the quality of care and family satisfaction in nursing homes.
This pioneering collaboration promises to continue to evolve, taking nursing home management and supervision to new horizons, and setting new standards for transparency and personalised care in the industry.
