Since the pandemic, care managers have been complaining bitterly about the state of emergency and overworked employees. To ease the burden on caregivers, Stiegelmeyer, a leading global manufacturer of hospital and nursing home beds, has developed a digital <a href=\"https:\/\/device-insight.com\/en\/narrowband-iot\/\">Out-of-Bed-System based on narrowband IoT technology<\/a>, benefiting both patients and caregivers. Thanks to a sensor system integrated in the bed, the responsible nursing staff will be alerted if a patient leaves the bed and does not return within an individually defined time. This way, nurses can get there faster to help patients who may have fallen, while at the same time not having to rely on checking all rooms all the time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0389f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a0389f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/device-insight.com\/en\/2021\/12\/20\/narrowband-iot-advantages-and-use-cases\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/device-insight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Stiegelmeyer_Whitepaper-1024x769-1-768x577.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-12583\" alt=\"Stiegelmeyer_Whitepaper\" srcset=\"https:\/\/device-insight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Stiegelmeyer_Whitepaper-1024x769-1-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/device-insight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Stiegelmeyer_Whitepaper-1024x769-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/device-insight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Stiegelmeyer_Whitepaper-1024x769-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The narrowband IoT solution powered by grandcentrix &amp; Device Insight turns STIEGELMEYER's hospital and care beds into smart products that improve everyday life for nursing staff and patients.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd1ad0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd1ad0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Health on the go: Wearables<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ac478f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ac478f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Smartwatches are probably the best-known category of wearables in everyday life. In healthcare, the functions of wearable technology go beyond viewing messages on a smartphone and tracking activity. In remote patient monitoring, wearables can automatically measure health values such as heart rate, blood pressure or temperature and display them transparently in a dashboard for the patient or doctor. Patients are no longer forced to visit a doctor&#8217;s office for routine examinations and yet do not have to forgo personalized care. In addition, algorithms are used to analyze the data and detect disease patterns at an early stage.    <\/p><p>At the same time, wearables are giving patients back their quality of life. The best-known example at present is probably blood glucose sensors for diabetics. Patients can view their blood glucose levels on their smartphone via the sensor attached to their body, without having to prick their fingers, and are alerted to dangerous levels. Patients suffering from asthma are supported by smart inhalers that collect data on frequency of use and send a notification if the inhaler is ever forgotten or not nearby.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f00fc79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f00fc79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Home office for doctors: Telemedicine<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5f7e98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c5f7e98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to the lack of nursing and hospital staff, there is also a chronic shortage of doctors in rural regions across Germany and beyond. Here, telemedicine offers the opportunity to ensure good healthcare when actual access to specialists and physicians can no longer be guaranteed. Beyond pure diagnostics, the 5G mobile communications standard even nurtures the hope of enabling remote-controlled operations. Since 2019, remote surgical procedures have already been taking place around the world, with China leading the way. For example, last year a team of doctors from Beijing performed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xinhuanet.com\/english\/2021-03\/28\/c_139842584.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eye surgeries on three patients from 3,000 km away.<\/a>    <\/p><p>The extent to which medicine is benefiting from new technologies is demonstrated not only by these IoMT examples already in use today. The development of innovations and breakthrough medical procedures is in full swing: Organs from a 3D printer, smart prosthetics or AI-based diagnostics are no longer science fiction fantasies \u2013 they will revolutionize modern medicine in the near future.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
