Introduction

The Safety Zone can be described as a virtual perimeter surrounding the patient, delineating a secure area for the patient to remain within.

Safety Zone in Edit Mode

• Enter the Safety Zone Edit Mode by clicking the ellipsis in the top left corner and selecting: “Edit Safety Zone”
• The existing Safety Zone will appear. If this is a new Safety Zone, a default polygon will be displayed
• Drag the corners to reshape and reposition 
• Double-click the red perimeter to add more points to the polygon
• Safety Zone is edited on a per-patient basis

• After adjusting the Safety Zone in edit mode, save it by clicking on the green Save button

• Once saved, the Save button becomes disabled unless you alter the Safety Zone again

• The Delete button removes any existing Safety Zone and exits you from edit mode
• The Exit button will exit you out of edit mode from Safety Zone.  Any Safety Zone previously Saved will remain. 

Safety Zone in Monitoring Mode

• You can view all patient's Safety Zones while monitoring
• Show or Hide the Safety Zones
  • Use Video > “Show Safety Zone” to show a grey outline for all patient 
  • Update the Safety Zone via the Edit mode on your patients as needed based on the patient's position in the room

Triggering AI Nudge

• If the perimeter of the Safety Zone is broken, the AI Nudge will be activated
• An audible alert will accompany the AI Nudge if enabled  
• Any movement within the Safety Zone without breaking the perimeter will not trigger the AI Nudge. 

Acklowledgement

• When the Safety Zone is set and crossed, an AI Nudge is activated, creating a pulsing yellow perimeter around the patient’s video window.
• It will continue until the VMT acknowledges it by moving their cursor over that video block.

• At that point, the AI Nudge will go away.

  

Reactivation

• Once an AI Nudge is acknowledged, there is a 10-second cool-down period during which another nudge will not be triggered. This is done to avoid rapid nudge notifications within a very short period of time.
