Promote increased mobilisation among inpatients
Certified medical device (CE-marked)
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 healthcare professional
- Improved dialog about physical activity between the healthcare professional, the patient and relatives
- Increased compliance of data-driven management
Pilot Package

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 patients.
12 Re-usable sensors
Loan of 10 Tablets
140 Sensor's Patches

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 records physical activity and daily rhythm throughout the stay.
3. A bedside tablet lets the patient follow goals and progress in real time.
4. Highlights the importance of activity and tracks motivation and compliance.
5. Provides live and historical activity dashboards for clinical decisions.
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)
Key finding: 100 steps per day reduces the risk for readmissions with 10% (9).
Research has shown that even shorter periods of inactivity cause 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). With an increase of just 100 steps taken per day the risk of readmission is reduced with approximately 10% for elderly hospitalised patients (8).
