Hospitals

Caring for patients on hospital wards with limited mobility requires continuous observation, timely intervention, and efficient use of staff resources. LYNG by Ably Medical is designed to support ward teams in meeting these demands through an integrated, bed-based monitoring solution.

Continuous insight into patient activity and physiological condition

LYNG by Ably Medical is a medical device for hospital beds, providing non-intrusive, continuous monitoring of patient activity and physiological status. The system combines tracking of presence, in-bed movement, and bed exits with clinically validated measurements of heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR), delivering a single, integrated view of the patient’s overall condition.

Movement data and vital sign trends support assessment of patient stability and timely response to changes. Configurable notifications alert staff to bed exits, changes in activity, and deviations in HR and RR, while repositioning reminders support routine care and pressure injury prevention.

LYNG also supports integration with compatible third-party medical and non-medical devices, enabling consolidated monitoring without added workflow complexity. By reducing manual checks and routine documentation, LYNG helps nurses maintain continuous oversight while focusing on direct patient care.

*The clinically validated HR and RR measurements and full Class II medical device functionality described above are planned for availability in 2027, subject to successful Class II medical device certification.

 

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.

Continuous vital signs monitoring

LYNG provides clinically validated measurements of resting heart rate and respiration rate, presented as trends and time-based averages. Combined with movement data and information from connected third-party medical and non-medical devices, these measurements support assessment of overall patient condition and early identification of changes that may require attention.

Trend views help clinical teams maintain continuity of care across shifts and support observation of patients with limited ability to communicate discomfort or deterioration.

*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.

Cost efficiency

A single, bed-based monitoring solution reduces dependence on multiple monitoring devices and repetitive manual observations.

Automated documentation

Automated documentation

Movement data and vital sign trends are recorded continuously and can be transferred to hospital systems where supported, improving continuity across teams and shifts.

Configurable notifications

Notifications can be tailored per patient and ward routine, supporting awareness while minimizing alarm fatigue.

How much time goes into routine checks?

In many wards and care units, tasks like vital signs monitoring, documentation, and weight recording take up a substantial share of the workday.

Studies from hospital wards in Germany indicate that for a 10-bed unit, nursing staff spend approximately 31 hours and 35 minutes per week on vital sign acquisition, weight measurement, and related documentation.

That time is part of everyday care work — but it is time not spent on direct patient interaction.

With an estimated average nursing cost of €40 per hour, this corresponds to around €1,260 per week in staff time dedicated to routine monitoring tasks.
