Amba\u2019s innovative approach combines state-of-the-art passive sensors with a focus on privacy and dignity. The system empowers residents by unobtrusively tracking key health indicators such as sleep quality, heart rate, and activity levels. Amba\u2019s real-time alerts and responsive care also give families confidence that their loved ones are well-monitored and supported.<\/p>\n
“Simpson builds communities and services for older adults to thrive, and that means continuously seeking new ways to support their independence and well-being,\u201d said Carol McKinley, President and CEO of Simpson. \u201cOur partnership with Amba is a reflection of that commitment-leveraging innovative technology to provide an extra layer of care while respecting the dignity and privacy of our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Amba system operates 24\/7 and provides real-time data that enables Simpson\u2019s care teams to identify early signs of potential health issues, such as sleep apnea or infections\u2014before they escalate. Clinically trained professionals regularly monitor information to determine if patterns like sleep cycles, bathroom visits, nighttime heart and breath rates, and\/or activity levels are irregular. They use Amba\u2019s monitoring to help spot any signs that residents might need extra support.<\/p>\n
During the pilot, hospitalization rates for residents in Ruston, Jenner\u2019s Pond assisted living community, dropped to 0% in July, thanks to better monitoring and early intervention. In addition, Amba allowed for an 81% reduction of psychotropic prescriptions, with residents receiving more personalized, non-pharmacological interventions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Simpson, we are always looking for ways to ensure our residents\u2019 well-being, independence, and peace of mind,\u201d said Brandon Logsdon, Executive Director of Jenner\u2019s Pond, which is the first site for Amba\u2019s implementation. \u201cWe are integrating Amba into our communities to help our residents stay safe and healthy\u2014without changing anything about their daily schedules. This discreet health safety net supports our residents\u2019 health while respecting their privacy and improving care quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with Simpson communities to bring peace of mind to their residents and families,\u201d said Stu Hamilton, CEO and Founder of Amba. \u201cOur technology is designed to empower individuals to live independently while receiving the proactive care they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simpson is dedicated to creating vibrant, supportive environments where residents can thrive. By incorporating cutting-edge solutions like Amba, Simpson continues to set the standard for senior living innovation. Care teams appreciate the extra support Amba provides.<\/p>\n
“With Amba in place, we\u2019re able to deliver more personalized care to our residents,\u201d said David January, MSN, RN, GERO-BC, Regional Director of Clinical Services at Simpson. \u201cWe\u2019ve reduced falls by 67% through improved prevention and response, strengthened infection monitoring, and significantly lowered rehospitalizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it is currently being utilized at Jenner\u2019s Pond, Amba will be rolled out in the next few months at the other Simpson communities, Simpson House and Simpson Meadows.<\/p>\n
\u201cI especially like the sleep pattern monitoring. It helps us detect changes in patterns, which could be an indicator of a greater issue,” Georgine Tracy, Nursing Home Administrator at the Preston Residence at Jenner\u2019s Pond, which provides skilled nursing care.<\/p>\n
