Distech Controls, a leader in intelligent building solutions, has announced the launch of Resense Move, an innovative AI-powered multi-sensor designed to enhance indoor air quality, optimise energy usage, and improve daily operations in healthcare facilities.
The new sensor completes Distech Controls’ suite of solutions specifically developed for healthcare environments, aiming to create human-centred, energy-efficient buildings that prioritise patient and staff comfort.
Resense Move utilises artificial intelligence to provide real-time occupancy data and proactive air quality management.
Unlike traditional CO2 sensors, it can immediately adjust airflow based on the number of people in a space, ensuring optimal air quality without delay.
The device also features a noise sensor, crucial for maintaining recommended sound levels in sensitive areas such as neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
An integrated LED indicator provides visual alerts for air quality issues and excessive noise levels, allowing for quick responses from hospital staff.
Renée Jacobs, CHFM, CHC, FASHE, Healthcare Business Development Manager at Distech Controls, emphasised the importance of these features: “Maintaining indoor air quality is a necessity for hospital and healthcare facilities but integrated systems and connected technology can also help provide healthy patient rooms, conducive to healing, as well as a better experience for patients’ families, and staff by optimising comfort and improving workflow, while reducing stress and enhancing the healing environment.”
Resense Move is part of a larger ecosystem of Distech Controls products designed to enhance healthcare facility management. This includes:
- ECLYPSE Building Intelligence controllers for energy monitoring and optimisation
- Allure UNITOUCH, is an intuitive interface for patient control of room conditions
- Integration capabilities with third-party software for displaying medical schedules and tracking hospital equipment
Through its Digital Partner Program, Distech Controls has also collaborated with ThoughtWire to create an operating system that improves data capture, clinical response times, and overall patient experience while reducing carbon emissions and operating costs.
As healthcare facilities continue to prioritise both patient comfort and operational efficiency, solutions like Resense Move and its accompanying suite of products are poised to play a crucial role in the future of building management systems.
Jacobs concluded: “As a leading manufacturer of intelligent building solutions, we are in a unique position to offer a complete solution that answers the needs of healthcare operators.”
The introduction of Resense Move marks a significant step forward in the application of AI technology to healthcare facility management, promising improved outcomes for patients, staff, and operators alike.
