Discover how the Mobility section in Resident Insights helps you understand how a resident moves throughout the day and over time. Learn about the Resident Insights page here.
What
The Mobility section in Resident Insights gives you a clear overview of how a resident moves throughout the day.
It shows when someone is in bed, sitting, standing, out of the room, or in another detected posture. This gives context for what the resident was doing before and at the time of an escalation. You can choose to view this data by day, week, month, or year. There are three simple charts that help you visualize daily patterns and long-term changes at a glance.
Why
Knowing what the resident was doing at the time of an escalation or monitoring event helps you to build a full picture of what happened and what support may be needed next.
When a resident spends more time in bed, sits longer than usual, or stops leaving the room, this can signal a change in health or comfort. These changes are not always noticeable during a busy care day.
For example, maybe you notice that a resident seems more tired lately. Then, you open the Mobility section and see that they have been spending more time in bed and less time standing over the past week. This helps you start a conversation and adjust care if needed.
By understanding how someone moves through their day, you support more personal and proactive care.
Understanding each section
Daily Activity
This is a 24-hour timeline. It starts at midnight and shows what the resident was doing throughout the day. Each color represents a mobility pose:
- In bed
- Sitting
- Standing
- Out of the room
- Other
Users can hover over a section of the activity bar to see what happened at a specific time. Escalations, such as a fall or a call, are also indicated on the timeline. Monitoring events will also be indicated in this daily overview.
Use the arrows at the bottom left corner to move between different days. The bar updates the resident's mobile activity automatically during the day.
Mobility in Total (%)
This chart shows how much time was spent in each activity as a percentage of the full day. The user can hover over a section to see the exact percentage.
Click on a mobility pose in the legend to remove it from the chart. This helps you focus on specific movements.
For example, remove “In bed” to clearly compare “Sitting” and “Standing.” This makes it easier to check if someone is getting enough upright activity.
Mobility Overview (hours)
This stacked bar chart shows how many hours per day the resident spent in each activity.
The bottom portion of the chart (x-axis) represents the time period (week, month, year). The left side of the chart (y-axis) shows the number of hours in the day.
Use the color key to read the chart. Click on activity types in the legend to hide or show them. This allows you to compare mobility patterns over time.
Switch between day, week, month, or year using the dropdown at the top of the section.
Together, these insights help you understand how a resident moves through their day and any changes.
Clear insight leads to timely action and better, more personalized care.
