Hospitals
Caring for patients on hospital wards with limited mobility involves balancing safety, observation, and routine care. LYNG by Ably Medical is designed to support ward staff in managing these daily demands.
LYNG supports nurses and clinical teams in maintaining awareness of patients’ activity and presence in bed
LYNG by Ably Medical is a non-intrusive movement monitoring device for hospital beds. It monitors presence, in-bed movement, and bed exit events, with notifications configured by clinical staff.
The system also provides indicative measures of resting heart rate and respiration rate, shown as trends and time-based averages. These measurements support situational awareness and are not intended for diagnosis or clinical decision-making.
Data from connected third-party devices, medical and non-medical, can be displayed where available.
By reducing frequent manual checks and routine documentation, LYNG supports nurses in maintaining consistent observation while focusing on patient care.
*LYNG is currently progressing toward Class II certification and will provide validated heart rate and respiration rate measurements for clinical use.
Bed exit and movement
Unassisted bed exits and prolonged absence from bed are common challenges on wards with patients who have limited mobility. LYNG is placed under the mattress and monitors presence and movement in bed. Notifications can be configured by ward staff to alert nurses when a patient leaves the bed or remains out of bed longer than expected, including during night shifts.
This supports continuous awareness without relying on frequent manual rounds. Notification settings can be adjusted per patient and ward routine to help reduce unnecessary alerts and support focused observation.
Indicative heart rate and respiration trends
LYNG provides indicative measures of resting heart rate and respiration rate, presented as trends and time-based averages. These measurements support situational awareness and are not intended for diagnosis or clinical decision-making.
Trend views can help clinical teams observe changes in rest and activity patterns over time, supporting continuity of care across shifts and in patients with limited ability to communicate.
*LYNG is actively progressing toward Class II medical device certification. As part of this transition, LYNG will be capable of providing validated heart rate and respiration rate measurements for clinical use.
Repositioning notifications
For patients with reduced mobility, LYNG monitors in-bed movement and position changes over time. Notifications can support awareness of prolonged immobility and help nurses plan repositioning and routine care activities.
The system supports observation and coordination within existing care protocols and does not replace established clinical practices.

What sets LYNG apart?
Patient safety
Continuous movement monitoring with indicative trends in resting heart rate and respiration rate supports awareness of changes in patients’ activity and rest patterns. The information is not intended for diagnosis or clinical decision-making.
Workflow efficiency
By reducing frequent manual checks, the system supports consistent workflows across shifts and helps wards manage existing staffing resources.
Staff well-being
Structured observation and reduced routine documentation help nurses focus on direct patient care while limiting physical and cognitive strain, especially during night shifts.
Cost reduction
A bed-based monitoring setup can reduce reliance on multiple devices and repeated manual observations.
Automated documentation
Movement data and indicative trends are recorded and can be transferred to hospital systems where supported, supporting continuity across teams and shifts.
Configurable notifications
Notifications highlight changes in bed presence or activity and can be configured per patient and ward routine to support awareness without unnecessary alerts.
