Start a pilot with Skincair within your healthcare institution
Sense Textile has developed a tailor-made introduction pilot test program in which you are guided and supported step by step, from the first presentations to the final report and evaluation, with minimal workload for your healthcare employees. The average introduction pilot test lasts 8 weeks, including 2 smart measurement. With the help of questionnaires we help you to collect effect data, which we then present in graphs and tables. Ideally, the test group exists of 15-25 residents from somatic, Psycho Geriatric and palliative departments. Skincairs are often supplied in a beneficial and cost effective rental and cleaning model, during the non-binding introduction pilot period. The participating residents must be selected in such a way that they and their care providers can experience the added value of Skincair.
The medical usage indications are usually:
- less mobile persons
- persons with skin problems
- persons who need a lot of help at bed with transfers
- persons who perspire a lot
- persons with neurologic and motoric problems
Directly after the introduction pilot, a first customized version is made of a comparative business case, relevant and adapted for your healthcare institution. The report containing the positive test pilot results and the first version of the business case are often leading in making a decision about continuation and expansion of usage of Skincair.
The following long term care organizations have already completed pilot test Skincair and are working on and are already considering further expansion with Skincair:
