CentroStella is the main service designed by Cerotek. It is a management software, which can work on  local or Cloud databases. It is a digital platform that integrates, elaborates and coordinates data  coming from the devices it uses, analyzing their trend. It was created with the specific purpose of  improving the quality of care, implementing the observational level, thus favoring the centrality of the  person and reducing the possibility of errors in the process of managing the patient. 

Through CentroStella, it is possible to: 

• Create the anagraphic of doctors, nurses, operators and patients.

• Manage patients’ therapy, both in the Structure and at home, granting the preparation and  administration of the right therapy to the right person, with the right dose and the right  administration route, at the right time. 
• Extrapolate different reports about data on CentroStella. 

Hardware for teleassistance

iSensor is a patented wearable device (BIT26052) that allows patient monitoring thanks Immediate  Alarms such as fall and shaking, and Delayed Alarms such as body temperature and position. iGate  installation allows to map the Healthcare Structure and patients’ localization. 

iSensor Pro is a smartwatch with integrated SIMM that allows detection of certain vital parameters such  as body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, as well as activation of an SOS in case of a fall.  

Service call is a wireless system that acts via radio frequency and consists of head, bathroom alarm and  light alarm. Our system, connected to the CentroStella management system, allows you to monitor the  speed of an intervention. Thanks to the generation of alarms, both visual and audible, and the  notification of notifications on the appropriate app or on the screens present in the corridors, our  Assistance Call System complies with the German regulation VDE-0834. With the Keep Alive function,  a check can be made every 24 hours regarding the actual functioning of the devices.
