CBS Attendant · the bedside device

Help at the bedside, and the family told at once.

Patent pending

The CBS Attendant sits at the bedside, at home or on a ward. When it raises an alarm, it rings loud on the phone or computer of everyone who follows it, and on a ward CBS Dock at the nurse station hears every bed. Follow it from the Android app, or from the web app at https://device.cbshealth.in in Chrome or Edge, by scanning the QR label on its back.

Who uses it: Patients at home or on a ward — and the family and the nurse who answer them

What it raises

Eight alarms that ring loud on the follower's phone or computer.

Each alarm rings loud on every phone or computer that follows the device.

SOS

The patient presses for help. It rings once per episode, and the follower's phone texts the person's emergency contacts.

Fall detected

A fall is detected, and every phone and computer following the device rings.

Call bell

The patient calls, and whoever is following is rung.

No movement for a long time

The person has not moved for a long time, and the followers are rung.

Missed check-in

A check-in was due and did not come, and the followers are rung.

Missed medicine

A dose was due and not taken, and the followers are rung.

Room too hot

The room has become too hot for the person, and the followers are rung.

Room too cold

The room has become too cold for the person, and the followers are rung.

Quieter notices

Shown on the follower's phone or computer, without the loud alarm:

  • A possible fall, while it is being confirmed
  • The device needs charging
  • SOS armed
  • A medicine is due

All clear. An SOS, fall or call bell cancelled at the device stops its alarm on every phone.

Who is told

The family at home, the nurse on the ward.

  • The family

    On their own phone or computer. Each carer follows up to 5 devices from one phone, and each device accepts up to 3 phones.

  • The nurse on duty

    On a ward, CBS Dock at the nurse station hears every bed. There is no limit on beds.

  • The patient

    Through their own SOS button in CBS Care, as well as on the Attendant.

Every alarm names the place and the person, for example “Home · Amma · Fall detected”.

A person answers every alarm. Beyond the SOS text to the emergency contacts, there is no automatic escalation ladder.

Setting it up

Three steps, on the phone or computer that will receive the alarms.

  1. Open the Android app, or open https://device.cbshealth.in in Chrome or Edge.

  2. Scan the QR label on the back of the device, or type the text printed under it.

  3. Allow Bluetooth when asked, and the alarms arrive on that phone or computer.

Only people given the label can follow a device.

In the app, beside the alarms

  • Speed dial for 5 contacts
  • Medicine and check-in reminders
  • A history of every SOS
  • A torch

Where it runs

  • Android app

    Does everything, and rings even in the background.

  • Web app

    At https://device.cbshealth.in, in Chrome or Edge on Android, Windows, macOS or ChromeOS. It does everything while the page is open, and it can be installed.

  • iPhone, iPad and Firefox

    Their browsers cannot reach the device. The app says so plainly when it is opened there.

The web app needs Chrome or Edge, because it uses Bluetooth. iPhone and iPad browsers and Firefox cannot reach the device, and the app says so.

Where the alarms arrive

The CBS screens its alarms reach

Every line below is a CBS screen that exists today. The count comes from the same build register the published status page reads.

Screen names below are as the build register writes them, in English.

3 of 3 serving today CBS Attendant is 100% complete against its own screen list. The whole of it, screen by screen, is in the user guide.

Care · Now

  • SOS The in-app button and the paired device both raise it. No automatic escalation ladder: a person answers, which is the design

Dock · Clinical oversight

  • SOS and alert desk Events and notification live, and the facility's own alert queue with the counts behind the desk tiles

Dock · Administration

  • Device estate Bedside devices: pairing, unpairing and the boot lookup, on real data. Home devices register but cannot yet be listed
What it will not do

The Attendant does not diagnose or treat. It raises an alarm and a person answers it; beyond the SOS text to the person's emergency contacts, there is no automatic escalation ladder, which is the design.

True of the Attendant

  • Patent pending. This page says what the Attendant does for people, not how it does it.
  • At home the family answers; on a ward, CBS Dock at the nurse station hears every bed.
  • The web app needs Chrome or Edge, because it uses Bluetooth. iPhone and iPad browsers and Firefox cannot reach the device, and the app says so.

The rest of CBS

One record underneath, and the Attendant beside the bed.

The alarm the family sees in Care is the same alarm the nurse sees in Dock, on the same patient's record.

CBS Dock The hospital management system

The hospital management system: registration, beds, theatre, billing, the laboratory and imaging, the store, the roster, doctor onboarding, staff letters and the audit trail — everything that belongs to the establishment rather than to one clinician or one patient.

Features
CBS Medico The doctor's daily tool

The doctor's own tool for the day's events, for communication with the hospital, the care team and the patient, and for AI-assisted consultation — the queue, the consultation, the prescription, investigations and their results, the ward round, the discharge narrative and the earnings statement, carried across every establishment they practise at.

Features
CBS Care The patient, the family, the device

The patient's own door: appointments, medicines, the reports and bills the hospital has released to them, the people looking after them, and the check-in, fall and SOS from the device at home.

Features
CBS Counter The dispensary and its registers

The dispensary — medicines, surgicals and other consumables: the sale, dispensing against a prescription, stock in and out, expiry, the credit book, the day book and the statutory registers a drug inspector asks for.

Features
CBS Lab The laboratory, order to report

The laboratory, from the order to the signed report: the test menu and orders, bedside and home collection, a second person's verification of every value, daily quality control, reagent lots with their expiry, samples sent to an outside laboratory, and results reaching the doctor in Medico and the patient in Care.

Features

An Attendant for your patient, at home or on your ward.

Tell us who it is for, and we will tell you how to set it up with the family or the nursing team.
