Due to COVID19 pandemic, many people have been made aware of what “shortness of breath” is. Unfortunately, people can only sense shortness of breath when resting respiratory rate reaches close to 20 breath/min. If you consider that the average RR is 12-15 breath/min, most people will not actually be aware of their breathing changes until it may be too late. Continuous monitoring systems like XK300 can ensure that you are covered. It’s designed to collect motion and resting HR / RR, 600 times per minute (when still).
Benefits to the residents
XK300 is a radar based continuous health monitoring system that records thousands of information on a daily basis without infringing on your privacy. For seniors, long-term health monitoring is key to healthy living by being proactive about what your body is telling you.
Higher Resting Heart Rate:
- Several studies have confirmed that the higher your resting heart rate, the greater your risk from heart disease. One study showed that a RHR of more than 90 beats per minute was associated with higher heart disease death rates (doubled in men and tripled in women).1
Elevated Repiratory Rate:
- Consistently elevated resting respiratory rate of 3-5 more breaths/min. is an early sign of respiratory distress. It is also a predictor of cardiac arrest. 2

Benefits to family members
Family is everything. Many loved ones live out their lives in an assisted living facility or even independently in various active adult living buildings. Family members of senior care residents are busy taking care of their lives, yet always feel a sense of guilt and worry about them.
With XK300, authorized (with consent from the residents) family members can “check in” on their wellbeing at any time of the day. It provides the ultimate PEACE OF MIND for everyone.
Benefits to LTC facility staff
First and foremost, it’s all about providing the best quality care possible to the residents. Using autonomous, contact-free and continuous monitoring system like the XK300 can provide better care of residents but it can also provide relief for staff from conducting redundant tasks. Low staff to resident ratio is the leading cause of staff burn-out and residents overall satisfaction for care.
Xandar Kardian’s FDA 510(k) cleared sensor can provide medical-grade health monitoring of residents without any effort from the staff. Certain states also require SNF staff to check in on the resident every few hours during the night. It can vary from once every 2 hours or longer. With XK300, these redundant, night time check-ins can be avoided. Entering the room at night can also disturb the sleep of the residents.
Automatic, continuous monitoring can also mean less pressure on the staff, both physically and mentally.

Staff Time Optimization:
- Staffing has always been identified as being one of the biggest challenges for nursing homes. In fact, the median turnover rate at U.S. nursing homes was 94%. 8 Low staff to resident ratio is the leading cause of staff burn-out and residents overall satisfaction for care.
- XK300 can provide detailed information about the resident, such as signs of deterioration from motion index, RHR and RR, sleep patterns and “during the night” trends. It can also be used to provide real-time “check-in” duties which are required by law in certain states
Provide medical monitoring:
- XK300 is FDA 510(k) cleared to be used in all types of nursing homes. This allows continuous and automatic monitoring of residents in SNF, AL, IL and AAL.
Better care means happier residents:
- Increase occupancy by offering state of the art health monitoring services using XK300 systems. Benefits both the residents and the family members.
- Reduce or avoid potential litigation from gross negligence that can arise from not being able to provide timely care.
Memory Care
XK300 is FDA 510(k) cleared to be used as a presence and vacancy detection of a patient in a detection area of within 7 meters (23 ft.). Since 2017, Xandar Kardian has deployed thousands of sensors into international airports, banks and even prisons to provide 99.99% accurate presence + vacancy detection in real-time for security purposes. This was made possible by sensing presence using human vital sign frequencies.
When it comes to “Wander Alert” systems used in memory care facilities, XK300 is the ultimate sensor to provide real-time detection of residents who may be out of their room when they are not supposed to. Safety comes first and accurate sensors can make all the difference.
Energy Savings
Nursing Homes and Hotels have something in common. Occupants don’t stay in their room 24 hours a day. This means that potential energy savings from auto- controlling lights, fans, HVAC can be much larger than expected.
According to a recent research, residents in senior nursing homes spend approximately 64% of their time in the rooms. This translates into 15 hours a day. In other words, the room is vacant for 9 hours a day!
XK300 sensor can determine presence and vacancy at 99.99% accuracy using vital sign detection. This means that the room will never get too hot or too cold while being able to obtain maximum energy savings by automatically controlling the lights and HVAC systems.
Sample Cost Calculation:
- 9 hour “savings” per day calculated with 1000W room unit A/C provides an annual savings of $328.54
- 9 hour savings on floor lamp with 60 watt bulb provides $19.44 savings per year.
Combined, each room can save $347.98 per year just by automatically controlling lights and HVAC when the room is vacant.
