Introduction
SENS motion® increases physical activity for admitted patients
- Motivates the patient by visualizing goals and expectations on a tablet next to the bed
- Provides a data based overview of the patients physical activity for the healtcare professional
- Improved dialog about physical activity between the healtcare professional, the patient and relatives
- Increased compliance of data-driven management
Pilot Package
Try SENS motion® for 3 month – It is easy, and support is free of charge
Try SENS motion® for 3 month and experience the positive effect on patients. It is easy and quick. Complete package for only 19.995 DKK.
Pilot package is an introductory offer, that gives the possibility to use SENS Motion in a clinical ward for 3 months with up to 120 patient.
12 Re-usable sensors
Loan of 10 Tablets
140 Sensor’s Patches
Support
Motivational App
Motivational visual feedback from the app increases the patient’s self-activation.
- Motivates the patient to be more active by using elements of gamification and nudging
- The patient walks a visual tour through Copenhagen visiting various attractions
- The patient can continuously track her/his own progress, goals, and expectations
- The patient and healthcare professional can access more information using a detailed history view to facilitate dialog and follow up
How to use SENS motion® – For Healthcare
1. A discrete sensor patch is placed on the thigh of the patient at admission.
2. The sensor measures physical activity and the daily rhythm of the patient.
3. The patient can track her progress and goals using a tablet placed by the bed.
A tool for the patient and healthcare professionals
Highlights the importance of physical activity for the patient, and tracks motivation and compliance.
Enables data-driven management by providing both live patient overviews and historical data for statistical use.
Case Highlight
Bispebjerg Hospital: Increased out-of-bed time of hospitalized patients
Bispebjerg Hospital have in a recent study increased time out of bed for elderly hospitalised patients by 51 minutes per day using SENS motion developed by the Danish start-up SENS Innovation.
Many patients are inactive 18-20 hours a day in the hospital bed, and body functions decline rapidly during hospitalisation. Therefore, rehabilitation while hospitalised is crucial to avoid loss of independency, decline of quality of life and re-hospitalisation.

Clinical Evidence
SENS motion® increases physical activity for admitted patients
- Each year more than 600.000 elderly patients above the age of 65 are hospitalised (2).
- Elderly hospitalised acute patients spend on average 70-90 % of their time in bed and spend only 3-5% of their time either standing or walking(1).
Research has show that even shorter periods of inactivity causes a reduction in physical fitness and muscle mass(3). Compared to younger patients, elderly patients have reduced ability to recover after periods of physical inactivity(4). This also affects the patient’s ability to perform daily living (ADL) activities as well as degrading their perceived quality of life(5).
Physical inactivity is a strong factor prolonging the disease and rehabilitation period(7), increasing the risk of sequelae leading to hospital (re)admission(6). Physical inactivity during hospitalisation is associated with a significantly reduced risk of readmission within 30 days. With an increase of just 100 steps taken per day the risk of readmission is reduced with approximately 10% for elderly hospitalised patients (8).
