Ably Medical is helping hospitals to improve patient safety and reduce staff workload with LYNG, a contactless smart sensor system integrated into hospital beds.
Hospitals are facing a growing challenge: how to monitor patients effectively with limited staff and increasing patient loads. Vital signs like heart rate and respiration rate are often checked manually and infrequently, risking missed warning signs.
Pressure injuries and patient falls are costly and harmful. The need for smarter, real-time monitoring tools has never been greater.
LYNG by Ably Medical is a smart sensor system that is integrated into hospital beds under the mattress. It continuously tracks patient movement, heart rate and respiration rate, sending real-time data and early warnings to healthcare staff. This enables timely intervention, helping to prevent pressure injuries, detect deterioration and reduce fall risks.
What sets LYNG apart is its simplicity: it is contactless and works seamlessly alongside existing clinical routines. Any hospital bed can become a smart bed – without added complexity for staff.
The LYNG system improves patient outcomes and patient safety by preventing pressure ulcers, detecting early signs of health deterioration and reducing fall risks.
It eases the workload for healthcare staff by delivering actionable insights without needing manual checks. Hospitals, meanwhile, benefit from shorter stays, better outcomes and lower costs.
Moreover, fewer pressure injuries, complications and extended hospitalisations reduce treatment waste, resource use and emissions.
The global smart bed market is projected to reach USD 5.3 billion by 2032. The LYNG system is CE-marked and currently being piloted in hospitals across Northern and Central Europe. With growing demand for efficient, cost-saving solutions, its market potential is strong.
“Automating the tedious and frequent tasks would have an enormous impact on both staff and patient well-being as well as the hospital economy and administration.”
