Problem
Hospital patients can experience adverse events due to missed signs of deterioration, especially outside of intensive care settings. Current vital signs monitoring often relies on intermittent manual checks, which may fail to detect subtle but critical changes in a patient's condition, leading to delayed intervention and increased healthcare costs. Existing wearable monitors often require continuous network connectivity, limiting their utility in areas with poor or no network coverage and creating potential security vulnerabilities.
Solution
Waire Health's SensArm is a medical-grade, wearable vital signs monitor that autonomously tracks a comprehensive set of physiological parameters, including cuffless blood pressure estimation, ECG, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and body position. The device operates independently of network connectivity, enabling continuous real-time monitoring even in areas with limited or no network access. Onboard AI and machine learning algorithms analyze the data to identify trends and potential deterioration, generating clinical risk scores based on NEWS2, PEWS, or MEWS criteria every 120 seconds. The system alerts healthcare providers to critical changes while suppressing false alarms, facilitating timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals and healthcare providers seeking continuous, real-time vital signs monitoring for patients in general wards and at-home care settings, as well as elderly patients and those with chronic conditions requiring remote monitoring.
