Où est ma chambre ?

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

Loss of mouvement autonomy

The patients inside Pôle Saint-Hélier, that we wish to help through this project, suffer from various cognitive disorders. Some of them have a hard time going back to their bedroom or heading to the infirmary (or other important places). Patients also 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's staff.

Impact on psychological well-being

Studies have shown that autonomy and relationships impact the psychological well-being. The patients we aim to help may end up socially isolated because of their fear to get lost upon exiting their bedroom. The reasons the Où est ma chambre ? project exists are both to help these 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 and route calculation, a domain with little experimentation yet

Deployment of a distributed, decentralised and modular architecture

Data confidentility and network security

Our objectives

Respond to patients' loss of autonomy and facilitate the monitoring work of medical staff using two separate interfaces

The Navigation Interface

Using this application, patients get assistance to find their bearings 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 their choice, directly 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 chooses whether they accept this help.

The Supervision Interface

This interface offers several features such as real-time visualization of patients' locations, 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.
