KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System

Helping you improve patient safety.

Following extensive research with many of our behavioural health partners, the next generation patient monitoring software has been developed to allow clinical teams to fully monitor ligature alarms and record an audit trail of patient activity and staff observations.

In challenging environments, it is critical staff are aware of door ligature incidents and the KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System ensures this by providing the next level of ligature alarm technology to enable swift clinical response.

In addition, KOSMOS logs a full audit trail of door activity, staff observations, and ligature alarm activations to provide management teams with invaluable data to help review patient care quality and highlight key trends on wards, such as patients leaving their rooms at specific times during the night or remaining in their room more than usual.

Key features

Early warnings & UI

Early warning indicators

KOSMOS is uniquely able to detect and alert staff to door tampering, a potential sign of patient distress, helping staff to proactively monitor and identify early-warning indicators to address them before a ligature attempt takes place.

User friendly interface and custom floorplan

KOSMOS provides clinical teams with a visual representation of the ward via a custom ward-floorplan and live monitoring interface that clearly displays the alarm status of each ligature alarmed door within the ward.

Alarm triggering and door isolation

The KOSMOS interface provides status monitoring for each ligature alarmed door and, if a ligature is detected, KOSMOS will trigger an alarm providing a visual and audible alert to staff. The interface will clearly display the location of the ligature incident allowing quick clinical response.

If a ligature alarmed door has been isolated, e.g. for door maintenance purposes or if a service user has been placed under constant observation, the KOSMOS software will clearly indicate the door alarm is not being monitored. Ward staff can then reactivate the status monitoring when intended.

Audit trail

Complete audit trail

KOSMOS provides invaluable data for future review by recording an audit trail of patient activity and staff observations. This data can help management teams review patient care quality and highlight key trends on wards, such as patients leaving their rooms at specific times during the night or remaining in their room more than usual.

Network connectivity

The KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System forms a standalone hardwired network and does not need to connect to the facility’s IT network. KOSMOS stores collected data locally within its own system and this data is owned by the facility.

Fault detection and testing reminders

With life-critical systems it is vital that any faults are promptly detected and rectified. KOSMOS monitors its own network and can detect faults within the system, while built-in reminders let staff know when to test the alarmed doors within the ward.

KOSMOS provides a custom ward plan with live ligature alarm monitoring.

Training & integration
