How it works
Bedside positioning
BEPI is placed beside the bed of patients selected by medical staff for the safe self-administration of medications. This system reduces the need for manual intervention by healthcare professionals and minimizes the risk of errors, while ensuring patients have convenient and secure access to their prescribed medications.
Programming
BEPI is configured by importing medical prescriptions from the patient’s electronic medical record or via a dedicated tablet. Scheduling allows times and doses to be easily set to ensure correct and timely administration of medication.
Integration
The system can be integrated with electronic medical records used in healthcare facilities, allowing centralized and automated management of therapies, eliminating the need for manual entry and reducing the risk of transcription errors.
Automated dosing
At the scheduled time, BEPI automatically dispenses the prescribed dose and alerts the patient through visual and audible signals. This ensures safe and timely medication administration, eliminating dispensing errors and delays.
Continuous monitoring and alarm management
BEPI continuously monitors the medication administration process, from dispensing to patient confirmation of intake. In the event of an error or missed dose, an immediate alert is sent to healthcare staff, enabling prompt intervention.
Therapy on-demand
BEPI enables patients to request “as-needed” medications, such as pain relievers, through a wristband. The system ensures that administration remains within the limits prescribed by the physician, preventing overdoses and providing safe, controlled therapy management.
Cloud management
Fully cloud-managed, BEPI enables real-time updates to therapies, allowing nurses to change prescriptions quickly and without delay via tablets or nursing stations.
Drug reuse
Every medicine is tracked in the system, including batch and expiry date. Unused medication can be monitored and safely reused, reducing waste and optimizing stock management.
Device security
Alarm management
BEPI immediately alerts healthcare staff to malfunctions such as non-delivery or technical problems, ensuring rapid intervention to avoid disruption to medication administration.
Reliability testing
Subjected to rigorous reliability testing, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), BEPI has been validated in collaboration with the University of Genoa to ensure its stability and safety in complex clinical environments.
Cybersecurity
BEPI complies with the latest data protection regulations, ensuring a high level of IT security to protect sensitive patient information.
Disinfection
To ensure maximum hygiene, drugs are dispensed in sealed blisters, reducing the risk of contamination and maintaining the highest standards of hygiene for patient safety.
