Meet VSTOne
VSTOne is an ambient vision AI platform developed by VirtuSense for hospital fall prevention, pressure injury monitoring, and virtual nursing. A single LiDAR-based device monitors every patient room autonomously — without cameras, without wearables, and without flooding nurses with false alarms.
Today with VSTOne
VSTOne is an ambient vision AI platform developed by VirtuSense that uses LiDAR and edge AI to establish a continuous, privacy-preserving monitoring environment within hospital rooms.
Rather than transmitting video to external servers, VSTOne integrates its computational intelligence directly at the bedside through a multi-modal sensor stack—comprising IR camera, LiDAR, microphones, 3D-RTLS, and optical PTZ—paired with local CPU/GPU/NPU processing.
The LiDAR sensor generates dynamic 3D point clouds that map spatial relationships among patients, furniture, and assistive devices without capturing photorealistic imagery, thereby maintaining patient privacy while enabling high-resolution environmental awareness. All video, depth, audio, and location signals are fused on-device prior to alert generation, allowing the system to function with millisecond latency and independently of network connectivity.
The platform's clinical utility derives from its AI's capacity to interpret spatial data streams as meaningful clinical context rather than discrete motion events. By identifying subtle postural shifts that precede volitional movement, VSTOne predicts unassisted bed or chair exits approximately 31 to 65 seconds before they occur, providing nursing staff with actionable advance warning — detecting fall risk and pressure injury need before a never event occurs.
Automated Fall Prevention
VSTOne is a proactive fall prevention solution that helps reduce alarm fatigue and maximizes nursing efficiency. VSTOne fall prevention is 100% automated. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor technology to monitor patients around the clock for bed or chair exits. When the intent to exit is detected, VSTOne alerts nursing staff on their end point devices and via notification lights. VSTOne monitoring provides over 99% accuracy for alerts and eliminates more than 95% of false alarms. VSTOne is also integrated with EHR systems to automate staff interaction with the system.
Automated Pressure Injury Prevention
Hybrid Human/AI Patient Monitoring
No matter what your patient monitoring needs are, VSTOne can flex meet them. Our autonomous AI monitoring can handle lower-need patients such as fall prevention and pressure injury prevention, but for those with more complex monitoring concerns like IV pulling or mental health behaviors, VSTOne can provide 24/7 video monitoring for virtual sitters. VSTOne can provide up to 24 video streams to one sitter and feeds are 4k resolution video with full tilt and zoom control.
VSTOne can support full virtual sitting, a hybrid of AI and human monitoring, or full AI monitoring.
Virtual Nursing
Virtual nursing is a new model of care that uses VSTOne technology and existing TVs in the patient room to provide admission, discharge, consulting, and rounding remotely. Clinicians can zoom, pan and tilt cameras and share their screen with the patients. Additionally, a family member can be added to an existing call.
AI Patient Assistant (Beta Testing)
In Beta Testing - Our Virtual Assistant (named Betsy) uses Natural Language Processing and Understanding (NLP/NLU) algorithms to give patients personalized assistance in hospitals. The Virtual Assistant, similar to the one on your phone, can be used by patients to communicate their needs to the nurse. Nurses can use the information provided by Betsy to prioritize their response and provide necessary assistance to the patient without making multiple visits to the patient’s room. Betsy can serve as a comprehensive solution that communicates all patient’s needs to the hospital staff, ranging from performing periodic pain assessments to ordering appropriate meals based on the patient's medical condition. Think of Betsy as a switchboard operator for every room making sure questions and concerns are routed to the right place.
Violent Patient Notification
When a patient is marked as potentially violent in the EHR, VSTOne notifies clinicians entering the room that the patient may be violent via a code phrase for increased awareness. Alerts are also sent to other staff members when the nurse is in the room and a violent patient leaves their bed or chair. This feature ensures the safety of nurses interacting with potentially violent patients.
RTLS & Hand Washing Compliance (In Development)
In Development - VSTOne harnesses Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to ensure precise location tracking within healthcare facilities. This allows better awareness of high-value tools scattered throughout a floor or wing to ensure utilization. This integrated system also employs UWB-enabled ID cards to monitor and promote hand hygiene compliance among clinicians, enhancing both operational efficiency and patient safety.
Small Hardware, Big Impacts
VSTOne is a single ambient vision AI device that runs up to eight clinical use cases — fall prevention, pressure injury monitoring, virtual nursing, and more — all from one compact sensor at the bedside.
No rip-and-replace. No complicated installations. Start with the use cases your team needs most and expand as your organization grows — all on the same hardware, fully integrated with Epic.
AI and Digital Care in Hospitals: VSTOne in Action
VSTOne uses machine vision, privacy-forward LIDAR sensors, and a multidimensional approach to supply hospitals with tools that empower their nursing teams and connect their resources.
Three hospital sites share their incredible results with VSTOne's LIDAR-powered patient monitoring.
Integrations
FAQs
Can VSTOne integrate with EHR/Nurse call systems?
VSTOne currently integrates with several EHR and other software systems. We are continuously improving our integrations to make the solutions as seamless as possible.
Does it use a camera?
While VSTOne has a camera as part of it's hardware, live camera feeds are only used for telehealth and virtual nursing applications.
VSTOne uses additional sensors to monitor the patient for fall prevention and pressure injury prevention. These sensors do run a live camera feed and do not take photorealistic images, and so maintain patient privacy and hospital security.
How long does it take to install?
Our team will set up an onboarding plan for your organization to make sure that VSTOne operates properly and that your staff is trained and comfortable using the technology.
Is this technology expensive?
VSTOne operates with minimal hardware, no expensive upgrades to infrastructure, and no additional FTEs. It assists your existing staff without burdening your organization with more people, more costs, and more IT infrastructure without compromising on outcomes.
Is VSTOne secure?
Monitoring with VSTOne is done locally on the device, so patient data is protected behind your organization's firewall. LIDAR also anonymizes patient data, lowering the risk of data leaks from a cyber attack. The solution also uses end-to-end encryption for maximum security.
What's next for VSTOne?
VSTOne is geared toward growth. We have several new tools in the works including the use of natural language processing and natural language understanding, real-time location services, and home health applications. Stay tuned!
