Dehydration is particularly detrimental to the health of older people and those in need of care, causing significant additional effort and costs in care. It is therefore important to ensure adequate and regular fluid intake at all times.
Each year, over 1 million cases of dehydration are diagnosed as a primary or secondary diagnosis during inpatient admissions in Germany. This costs social insurance providers over €2 billion per year.
Reminding patients of fluid intake, monitoring it, and maintaining a fluid log are very time-consuming in professional care, and sufficient resources are often lacking.
The SmartCup from LAQA is the digital solution for
– a needs-based reminder to drink fluids
– the exact recording of the amount of liquid consumed
– the fully automatic creation of a drinking log
Modern technology and the use of artificial intelligence make it possible to digitalise entire work processes in professional care, thus leading to an optimisation of operational processes. The result is, in particular,
– holistic overview of drinking behavior
– fully automated, tamper-proof drinking log
– increased efficiency in daily care work
– Improving the quality of outpatient and inpatient care
– Cost relief
