“Every single piece of control that you give back to someone who’s lost it is really important for every aspect of their life,” said Dr. Jeffrey Rosenbluth of the Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital at the University of Utah.
More than 36 million people are admitted into hospitals in the U.S. each year. That’s an average of almost 100,000 people each and every day. And this comes as the country faces a nursing shortage.
Edwards’ world has been confined to a hospital room for the last few months. But his new hospital room is giving him something he didn’t have before. “If I’m paralyzed and I’m going with my wheelchair up to the door, well, I can’t open the door by myself, but I can maybe talk to my device and say, ‘Hey, open the door,’” explain Damaris Zarco, a registered nurse of the Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital at the University of Utah.
“Patients would call just to have the blinds closed or the temperature adjusted in the room, but because they’re able to do that with the app, then it saves me a trip to the room,” Zarco said.
