More time for personalized care
Let patients measure their own vitals, so healthcare professionals can focus on what really counts
Accessible, high quality and affordable care is increasingly difficult to guarantee. Partly due to an aging population, the demand for care has been increasing for several years. At the same time, there are not enough caregivers to meet the demand for care and the labor market is tightening. As a result, the workload for caregivers is often high.
Deploying existing technology in a smart and scalable way can reduce the pressure on care. Alviscan is one of those smart and scalable technologies that can support the care process and reduce the workload of nurses.

Our solution
Alviscan enables patients to measure their vital signs themselves, creating more time for actual care. Patients can take control and become more involved in their own care process.
The measured values are stored directly in the Electronic Health Record. This reduces the administrative burden on healthcare professionals and ensures that measurement results are copied over without errors.
Alviscan thus contributes to greater efficiency and reduces dependence on the scarce time of healthcare professionals.
“Each year, our colleagues at the Anesthesiology outpatient clinic see around 17,000 patients. About 80% of them can use the Alviscan, saving approximately 5 minutes per patient. That adds up to over 1,100 hours of time saved.”
Inge de Leeuw,
Manager Anesthesiology Outpatient Clinic, Erasmus MC
“Many patients enjoy measuring themselves. At the same time, it saves the nursing staff three minutes per patient. With 50 patients a day, that’s a welcome side effect—especially in times of a growing shortage of qualified staff.”
Angelika Flügge,
Director of Nursing, Ostseeklinik Damp
“This innovation, part of the ‘Outpatient Clinic of the Future’ initiative, reduces the workload for outpatient clinics, promotes patient self-reliance, and provides greater insight into one’s own health.”
