Preserve Dignity, Enhance Care

Human dignity is a fragile aspect of health care that is often overlooked, regardless of the technology or medicine employed. The experience of navigating health care without adequate insurance highlights the urgent need to prioritize patient dignity in every interaction. Additionally, the health care system is strained by a shortage of doctors, nurses, and caregivers, leading to overworked staff and inadequate patient care. This challenge is not due to a lack of caring professionals, but rather to a scarcity of resources. Employing ambient intelligence, such as smart cameras, can provide essential support by acting as additional monitoring tools. This technology can help ensure patient safety, detect falls, and recognize changes in conditions, ultimately enhancing both patient care and dignity.
