Description of System.

The ObservSMART System is designed to support clinical staff in inpatient psychiatric hospital settings in carrying out patient monitoring.

The system consists of the following:

a. Apple Mini iPads and Devices. These devices will be provisioned according to the operational and security requirements, managed on the client’s MDM

b. Software. The ObservSMART software will run as an application on the tablets as well as a desktop web service to be located on a secure server.

c. Tamper-Resistant Patient Bluetooth Bands. Patients will wear a tamper-resistant disposable wristband that secures a sealed, reusable Bluetooth beacon to the Patient’s wrist. The Bluetooth beacon contains no patient health information. The wristband has a “fitness” band appearance and is intended to be patient friendly, and recovery focused while providing a high degree of tamper-resistance.
