County considers five‑year wearable monitoring plan for jail medical unit at $18,050
Summary
Staff proposed a five‑year service plan from Reassurance Solutions for wearable monitors and ward sensors to free medical‑ward capacity and alert nurses to elevated vitals; the quoted price was $18,050 plus up to $1,000 for data wiring.
A staff speaker summarized use of Reassurance Solutions monitors and a proposed five‑year wearable monitoring plan intended to allow some monitored individuals to remain in dorm housing while nurses receive alerts. The presenter said the system had already helped identify high heart rates and that the company now offers a wearable bracelet option that could free space in the medical ward.
The quoted five‑year cost was $18,050 with a possible additional cost up to $1,000 to run data blocks above identified dorms. "It's $18,050, and there could be some electrical having to put some data blocks in above the dorms... possibly up to 1000 dollars," the speaker said. Commissioners discussed funding from opioid-related dollars and asked staff to prepare the issue for Tuesday's agenda.
