thynC wearable inpatient monitoring
Ajou University Hospital put AI monitoring into operation across 342 beds
Problem
Ward staff needed to track patients' vital signs and enter measurements into medical records. Deterioration could require attention while patients moved around the ward.
Approach
The hospital introduced thynC, supplied by Daewoong Pharmaceutical, after equipment installation and infrastructure work began in 2025. Wearable sensors fed ward displays, while AI detected falls and classified emergency arrhythmias. Measurements were recorded automatically in the electronic medical record every 60 seconds.
Results
Takeaway
The rollout connected monitoring with medical records. Patient-safety improvements and staff time savings had not been quantified.
