Toronto General Hospital – STICS 2019 Family Advisor – STICS is a project in which Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) data is harnessed to create clinically validated Space-Time Indices for Clinical Support (STICS) for a variety of common patterns of behaviour exhibited by people who live in long-term care (LTC). Space-Time refers to the kind of data we are working with (the location of residents in space and over time). Algorithms will transform this RTLS data into Indices to help health care professionals make decisions about resident care. STICS can be used to track behavioural patterns over time and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. They can also be used to design and evaluate the physical and social environment to promote a more holistic approach to well-being in LTC residents.
