2.2.5 | Add care recipient

Classification of the Example Workflows Shown

  • The following steps illustrate example workflows for typical use cases within the alea system. Depending on the product configuration, enabled software functions, compatible absorbent continence products used and the respective care setting, individual displays, notifications or status indicators may differ.

  • In particular, Fall Suspicion Notifications, Area Exit Notifications and Repositioning Monitoring functions may be optionally available depending on the system configuration. These functions are intended solely to support care professionals in organizing, planning and prioritizing care activities. They are not intended to provide diagnosis, therapy, alarm or emergency functions.

  • The examples shown are provided for illustrative purposes only and demonstrate possible system displays within the intended use of the system. They do not represent a complete workflow and may vary depending on the individual care situation.

  • Then click the Next button.

Step 5 of 6

  • If you have enabled the Repositioning Monitoring function, you can configure optional settings in the Repositioning section.

  • By default, a repositioning interval is preconfigured. Once the configured repositioning interval has been reached, the alea App reminds you to assess whether repositioning is required.

  • You can adjust the length of the repositioning interval or configure different repositioning intervals for different times of the day.

  • You can also define individual repositioning intervals for specific body positions. These override the general repositioning intervals.

  • If you do not wish to receive repositioning reminders, you can disable them. The body position and the duration of the respective position will continue to be displayed in the alea App.

  • Finally, click the Create Care Recipient button to save the settings and add the care recipient to the system.

  • Before the care recipient can use the alea system, the required hardware components must be assigned. See Section 2.2.1.

  • In the care recipient's detail view, you can review and, if necessary, modify all configured settings at any time.
