Sensorless Monitoring for Skilled Nursing CCM with August Health
For skilled nursing facilities running CCM through August Health, sensorless monitoring addresses a critical need: managing high-acuity patients with multiple comorbidities. Xandar Kardian XK300 uses 60GHz radar waves to detect micro-movements of the chest wall from breathing and heartbeat, capturing vital signs without any physical contact.
Why Sensorless Monitoring for Skilled Nursing
Skilled Nursing facilities serve post-acute and long-stay residents requiring 24/7 skilled nursing care, often with multiple comorbidities and higher acuity. Sensorless Monitoring is particularly relevant because:
- No wearable devices required — zero resident compliance needed
- Continuous 24/7 monitoring without battery charging or maintenance
- No skin irritation or discomfort
How Sensorless Monitoring Works
Xandar Kardian XK300 uses 60GHz radar waves to detect micro-movements of the chest wall from breathing and heartbeat, capturing vital signs without any physical contact.
Data Captured
- Heart rate
- Respiratory rate
- Presence/absence detection
- Sleep patterns
- Movement activity
Benefits for Skilled Nursing Facilities
Readmission Prevention
Continuous monitoring during the critical post-acute window reduces hospital readmissions and improves quality scores.
Quality Measures
Objective vital sign data supports CMS quality reporting and star rating improvement efforts.
Survey Readiness
Comprehensive, timestamped records provide audit-ready documentation for state and federal surveys.
Sensorless Monitoring vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | Sensorless | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Resident Participation | None required | Active participation needed |
| Device Removal Risk | Not possible — wall-mounted | Common in memory care |
| Battery/Charging | No batteries on resident | Daily/weekly charging |
| Skin Irritation | None | Possible with prolonged wear |
| 24/7 Coverage | Yes, continuous | Depends on compliance |
Common Conditions in Skilled Nursing
- post-surgical recovery
- heart failure
- pneumonia
- COPD exacerbation
- sepsis recovery
- wound care
Billing & Reimbursement
Sensorless Monitoring data contributes to CCM billing in skilled nursing settings:

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with August Health to deliver RPM data directly into resident records, supporting senior care practices with automated vital sign documentation.
CCM is a Medicare program that reimburses providers for non-face-to-face care coordination for patients with two or more chronic conditions, billed under CPT codes 99490, 99439, and 99491.
Skilled nursing facilities use RPM to continuously monitor residents' vitals, enabling early detection of decline, reducing hospital transfers, and supporting compliance with quality reporting requirements.
Sensorless monitoring uses under-mattress or contactless sensors to track vitals like heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep patterns without the resident wearing or operating any device.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
