Understanding a Vocera EarlySense Adapter Configuration

The Vocera EarlySense Adapter allows the Early Sense Gateway to deliver alerts from the EarlySense bed pads to Vocera Platform.

Adapters send information to and receive information from Vocera Platform, as well as monitor and collect data. Each adapter is configured to allow Vocera Platform to communicate with a specific type of resource and any devices that resource may control.

EarlySense is a bedside monitor that uses a sensor pad under the bed to detect certain events. The Vocera EarlySense Adapter receives bed sensor alerts from the bed monitor through the EarlySense Gateway. The alert data will be stored in datasets matching specific requirements.

The following diagram shows an overview of the system deployment. See Integrating EarlySense on Vocera Platform for additional details about using EarlySense.
