Huntington Valley Healthcare Center

In a sector where innovation and tradition are often blurred, Huntington Valley Healthcare Center demonstrates dedication to embracing cutting-edge technology and specialized expertise. Stephenson discusses a recent technological implementation that sets the facility apart: Circadia technology. “It uses sonar frequency to monitor breathing rates,” he explains. This technology, resembling a small saucer placed behind each patient’s bed, is more than a monitoring tool; it’s a proactive health management system. The device provides early warnings of potential infections by tracking breathing patterns, enabling preemptive care. “ The accuracy of Circadia, while not flawless, is impactful.“It’s not perfect,” Stephenson admits,“but it alerts us on the most high-risk patients.”This allows the nursing team, assisted by a remote nurse reviewer, to prioritize patients showing concerning trends. These insights lead to prompt interventions, such as further tests or preventative measures, significantly reducing the likelihood of hospital readmissions. 6 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 02
