Dehydration endangers the health of elderly people and those in need of care in particular and causes significant additional effort and costs in care. It is therefore important to ensure continuous and regular fluid intake. Each year, over 1 million cases of dehydration are identified as primary or secondary diagnoses during inpatient hospital admissions in Germany. This costs social insurance providers over €2 billion per year. Reminding patients to drink, monitoring fluid intake, and maintaining a drinking protocol are very time-consuming in professional care. Often, there are insufficient resources for this. LAQA’s SmartCup is the digital solution for – timely reminders for fluid intake – accurate recording of fluid quantities consumed – fully automated creation of a drinking protocol Modern technology and the use of artificial intelligence enable entire work processes in professional care to be digitalized, thereby optimizing operational workflows. As a result, there are particular benefits including – a comprehensive overview of drinking behavior – fully automated, tamper-proof drinking protocol – increased efficiency in daily care work – improved quality in outpatient and inpatient care – cost savings
