“To Have One Extra Eye”: Exploring Professionals’ Experiences with Digital Supervision in a Nursing Home for Older People

This study enhances the understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with digital supervision in a nursing home. The healthcare team continued to conduct risk assessments as before, and nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists prescribed physical supervision as usual. The digital supervision system allowed professionals more time to engage in other activities with residents during the day. Being able to notice changes in residents, along with personalized alarm settings for digital supervision, may help prevent falls while still protecting residents' independence, physical abilities, and privacy in their apartments.
