Problem addressed

Unexpected Cardiac & Respiratory Deterioration, Falls, and Missing are persistent pain points in wards in hospital. Traditional vital sign monitoring equipment are bulky and involve numerous cables, limiting the scalability. Now, there is also lack of integrated solutions, including simultaneous health monitoring, geofencing and fall detection functions to address various observation pain points in wards.

Innovation
  • Reusable chest patch that collects a patient’s real time vital signs (i.e., electrocardiogram (ECG) / respiratory curve, skin temperature and galvanic skin response (GSR) level) and motion data. Then it uploads them to the AI engines in the backend server wirelessly.
  • Hong Kong-specified patient monitoring platform which integrates: AI engines to detect heart rhythms and respiratory problems, fall events and leaving the ward; continuous patient status monitoring; and alert notification.
  • Compact size, weight only around 59g, and the approximate dimension is 12cm * 7cm * 1.5cm.
Key impact
  • Enhances the safety of patients.
  • Improves the efficiency of patient monitoring.
Application
  • Smart Hospital Ward
  • Nursing Homes
  • Home Personal Care
