Où est ma chambre ?

What are the issues brought by degenerative diseases inside a hospital?

Loss of mouvement autonomy

The patients inside Pôle Saint-Hélier, that we care to help through this project, suffer from various cognitive disorder stage and this gives some of them hard times going back to their bedroom or heading to the infirmary. Patients sometimes leave the hospital and end up in inappropriate places, and this without even willing to leave the center, which causes regular sweat to the Pôle Saint-Hélier staff.

Impact on psychological well-being

Studies have shown that autonomy and relationships do impact the psychological well-being, yet these patients we aim to help may end up socially isolated because of their fear to go out of their bedroom. The reasons this Où est ma chambre ? project exists both are to help those people get their autonomy back and to lighten the workload and stress on the medical staff.

The challenges

Adaptation of our product for diseased people, with a re-educative aspect

Implement in-door localisation, a domain with few experimentation yet

Deployment of a FOG type architecture, a decentralised infrastructure

Data confidentility and network security

What we aim to

Fulfilling both patients and medical staff needs, two distinct interfaces.

The Navigation Interface

Using this application, patients get assistance to orient themselves through the Center and thus may be able to go from their current position to their objective, their room for example, without requiring staff's help. Since cognitive problems manifest themselves in different ways, patients may be guided not only by visual signals, but also by sound or vibrations.

The navigation aid can be initiated by the patient, either to a pre-registered destination or to the position of his or her choice, straight from the application's home screen.

The application also offers spontaneous help, based on information provided by accredited hospital staff. In the end, it is the patient that choose whether to accept this help.

The Supervision Interface

This interface offers several functionalities such as real-time visualization of patient location, alerts in case of patient discharge, management of the user database and discharge history. For more details on this interface, please browse through its various elements.
