CoNEX Healthcare Pte Ltd

CoNEX Healthcare provides privacy-preserved inpatient monitoring solution – PreSAGE. PreSAGE was co-developed with nursing leaders from Tan Tock Seng Hospital – Singapore’s main geriatric hospital. The solution is based on thermography sensors, novel image processing and machine learning models, to build a predictive solution that prevents falls, enhance patient safety and improve nursing productivity. The solution is focused on three key aspects – automated continuous monitoring, privacy-preserved and non-contact. These are the 3 key design principles that makes the solution work, particularly in a healthcare institutional environment in order to meet operational needs. For an automated continuous monitoring solution to work with high accuracy, image-based solution is required. Unlike traditional camera-based solutions, PreSAGE utilizes thermal sensors which overcomes any privacy concerns, yet provides the necessary high-definition thermal data for image-based monitoring. To date, PreSAGE has been adopted in public and private hospitals, community hospitals, nursing homes and residential apartments in Singapore. PreSAGE has also been deployed commercially overseas in private hospitals in Thailand. CoNEX is now working towards expanding the adoption of PreSAGE, with Japan as a key market.

CoNEX’s flagship product, PreSAGE®, is an AI-enabled thermography inpatient monitoring system that keeps patients safe and improves nursing productivity. PreSAGE was designed and developed through a close partnership with Singapore’s Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Today it is adopted as the main bed-exit prevention system in public and private hospitals, nursing homes as well as residential apartments. The AI-powered bed exit alarm identifies imminent bed exits and gives care staff at least 15s lead time to intervene, preventing potential falls. The sensor only picks up temperature readings and is free from Patient Identifiable Information (PII). This solution is useful for country with significant aging population like Japan.
