AI-Powered Patient Safety for Healthcare Institutions
Computer vision that monitors hand hygiene, cleaning quality, bedsores, and falls — in real time, from existing cameras.
The Problem
Healthcare institutions are flying blind on patient safety
Manual audits are infrequent, unreliable, and expensive. The data that could save lives is never captured.
The Solution
Continuous, automated monitoring of what matters most
Viky Care uses computer vision and AI to transform existing cameras into intelligent patient safety systems.
Hand Hygiene Compliance
Monitors every room entry, exit, dispenser use, and patient contact — covering 3 of 5 WHO moments continuously, versus the 1–2% sampled by manual audits.
Cleaning Quality Monitoring
Monitors cleaning procedures in real time — tracking coverage of furniture, floors, and key areas. Identifies routine, concurrent, and terminal cleans. Scores every procedure.
Bedsore Prevention
Monitors patient repositioning intervals and alerts staff when patients are at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Fall Detection & Prevention
Detects patient falls in real time using pose estimation. Sends instant alerts via WhatsApp and mobile app for immediate response.
Operational Intelligence & Auditing
Tracks staff visits, room occupancy, and patient interactions. Generates automated audit-ready reports for accreditations like Joint Commission.
The Landscape
Three pillars. One platform.
Hospitals manage infection control, patient safety, and operations as separate domains with separate tools. We unify them under a single AI layer.
Infection Prevention
Reducing healthcare-associated infections through continuous monitoring of hygiene and cleaning protocols
Patient Safety
Preventing adverse events through real-time detection and early intervention
Operational Intelligence
Visibility into what actually happens inside every room — who, when, how long, and how well
How It Works
Simple setup. Full data sovereignty.
Connect
We connect to the institution's existing off-the-shelf CCTV cameras. No specialized equipment — standard security cameras are all that's needed.
Process
Our AI server is installed on-premise, processing every frame in real time. No internet required — all data stays within the institution's network.
Act
Dashboards deliver insights to each department. Real-time alerts go to WhatsApp and mobile. Weekly reports reach decision-makers.
The Product
Built for healthcare. Used by every department.
Fall Prevention & Detection
Instant alerts when a fall is detected. Review events, confirm or dismiss, and track response times. The #1 sentinel event reported to the Joint Commission.
Bedsore Prevention
Visual timeline of patient repositioning. Monitors compliance with turning schedules across all beds. Pressure injuries are a CMS "Never Event."
Hand Hygiene Compliance
Automated monitoring of every room entry, exit, dispenser use, and patient contact. Compliance flowcharts, heatmaps, and timelines — covering 3 of 5 WHO moments continuously, far beyond the 1–2% captured by manual audits.
Cleaning Monitor
Track every cleaning procedure across rooms — furniture, floors, and key areas. Routine, concurrent, and terminal cleans — each timestamped, classified, and scored.
Operational Intelligence & Auditing
Track every room entry by role — nurse, doctor, cleaner — with timestamps and duration. No individual identification, full compliance. Complete audit trail ready for accreditation surveys on demand.
The Vision
From monitoring rooms to conscious buildings
Now
Patient rooms: hand hygiene, cleaning, bedsores, falls
Next
Hallways, surgery entrances, hand washing stations, equipment sterilization verification
Future
Every camera feeds an LLM that manages the entire building — a building that is aware, responsive, and autonomous
Our goal is to make the physical building conscious — aware of everything happening inside it, and capable of acting on that knowledge.
The Market
Each problem is a market. Each region is an opportunity.
Geographic Expansion
Starting in Brazil, expanding across four massive healthcare markets.

Each capability we build addresses a multi-billion dollar market.
Brazil's HAI rate is 3x higher than WHO recommendations. HAI prevention programs have demonstrated an 890% ROI. Every $1 invested in hand hygiene saves $16.50.
Competitive Landscape
Similar features. Different infrastructure.
Some competitors cover multiple capabilities — but all require proprietary hardware, cloud infrastructure, and significant upfront investment. We don't.

Accreditation Readiness
Not a nice-to-have. A compliance necessity.
Joint Commission surveys are unannounced. Surveyors trace actual patients and demand real data on the spot. The top reasons institutions fail are exactly what we solve.
Patient falls are the #1 sentinel event reported to the Joint Commission — 49% of all cases in 2024, four years running
of surveyed institutions are non-compliant on infection risk from equipment and environment
of hand hygiene opportunities are captured by manual observation — the current industry standard

Since January 2024, a single observed hand hygiene failure during a Joint Commission survey results in an automatic deficiency. Manual audits catch 1–2% of events. We catch all of them.
Let's talk.
