Vital Signs Monitoring Sensor

Our Vital Signs Monitoring Sensor is a contact-free, advanced monitoring solution designed to enhance elderly safety through autonomous and continuous monitoring. Using Impulse Radio Ultra-Wide Band Radar Technology (IR-UWB RADAR), the sensor emits 10 million impulses per second in an area of up to 10 square meters. It is the first commercially available FDA 510(k) Class II device to monitor vital signs autonomously, continuously and completely contact-free, using radar.

By seamlessly tracking vital signs and providing real-time alerts, this sensor minimizes risks when individuals are alone, reducing the potential for neglect and enabling immediate intervention in case of any irregularities. With its sophisticated yet user-friendly design, the sensor allows for non-intrusive monitoring, enhancing the quality of care without disrupting the user's daily life.

Key Features and Benefits

Non-Contact Monitoring

Unlike traditional monitoring systems, our sensor requires no wearables, patches, or physical attachments, ensuring that the elderly experience maximum comfort and freedom. The sensor collects data autonomously, making it an ideal solution for continuous care without intrusive devices.

Automated Alerts and Notifications

Equipped with real-time alert capabilities, the sensor immediately notifies caregivers or family members if it detects unusual activity or deviations in vital signs. Whether it’s an unexpected drop in heart rate, rapid breathing, or irregular motion, the sensor triggers instant alerts to ensure timely intervention and assistance.

POBC Scoring System for Proactive Care

One of the most unique aspects of our solution is the proprietary Probability of Change (POBC) scoring system. This feature continuously analyzes the user’s daily data, detecting subtle shifts in vital signs and providing insights into potential health risks. By flagging significant changes, the POBC score allows caregivers to prioritize cases, enabling proactive care that anticipates issues before they escalate.

Award-Winning Innovation

Recognized for its contribution to eldercare, our Vital Signs Monitoring Sensor has received multiple awards for its advanced technology and ability to transform traditional monitoring. These accolades underscore our commitment to excellence and innovation in the healthcare technology sector.

Continuous, Detailed Data Collection

The sensor records over 6,000 data points on heart rate, respiratory rate, and movement each day. Such comprehensive data enables detailed health assessments over time, providing caregivers with a holistic view of the user’s health status. This wealth of information can aid in understanding the user’s daily patterns and identifying early signs of potential health problems.

Safe and Certified Technology

The sensor operates using radar signals that are FDA-cleared and emit energy levels 10,000 times weaker than typical Wi-Fi, making it a safe choice for continuous, close-proximity monitoring.

Privacy-First Design

Protecting user privacy is central to our sensor’s design. With no cameras or microphones involved, it collects only essential health data, ensuring complete confidentiality while providing caregivers with the vital information they need. Users benefit from a safe, private environment while still receiving comprehensive health monitoring.

What It Monitors

Our sensor offers comprehensive monitoring to capture essential health metrics:

• Heart Rate: Tracks resting heart rate continuously to detect fluctuations.
• Respiratory Rate: Monitors breathing patterns for any irregularities that may signal respiratory distress.
• Body Motion & Bed Presence: Detects whether the user is lying down, sitting up, or moving, enabling immediate response in case of unexpected movements.
• Sleep Quality: Monitors sleep patterns to ensure restful sleep and detect restlessness, which may indicate health concerns.
• POBC Score: This analytical score flags potential risks, providing caregivers with data to prioritize attention and improve decision-making.

Applications

The Vital Signs Monitoring Sensor is versatile and ideal for various environments where individuals may be alone or at higher risk, ensuring safety through continuous, autonomous monitoring:

• Elderly Care Centers and Assisted Living Facilities: Monitors seniors in private areas like bedrooms and bathrooms, where falls and accidents are more likely to occur. Facilities can reduce the need for round-the-clock human oversight while still providing comprehensive safety for residents.
• Hospitals and Recovery Clinics: Supports continuous patient monitoring in rooms where individuals may require immediate assistance due to health risks, allowing healthcare staff to prioritize urgent cases.
• Hotel Rooms and Resorts: Ensures guest safety, especially in private spaces like suites, spa rooms, where guests may face unexpected health events. This monitoring helps hospitality providers offer an extra layer of safety and care for high-risk guests.
• Saunas, Steam Rooms, and Private Wellness Facilities: Ideal for monitoring individuals who may be at risk of heat exhaustion or sudden health incidents in high-temperature environments, alerting staff instantly in case of emergencies.
• Remote Workspaces and Private Offices: Monitors individuals working alone in isolated areas, ensuring safety in case of unforeseen medical events or accidents.
• High-Value Residences and Private Homes: Suitable for individuals living alone, especially elderly residents, offering peace of mind to family members and caregivers by providing real-time monitoring and alerts.

The sensor’s flexible applications make it a valuable tool in various settings, offering real-time monitoring and immediate assistance capabilities wherever individuals may need extra security or are alone.

Key Benefits

• Accident Prevention and Immediate Response: By detecting unusual movements or health patterns, the sensor helps prevent accidents and alerts caregivers to any immediate needs. This is especially valuable for elderly individuals who may be prone to falls or unexpected health incidents.
• Early Detection and Health Insights: The POBC Score enhances the sensor’s ability to detect health deteriorations early, allowing caregivers to intervene before issues worsen. This proactive approach can reduce emergency hospital transfers and the likelihood of severe health events.
• Respect for Privacy and Comfort: With no need for wearables, cameras, or microphones, the sensor maintains the user’s privacy while providing comprehensive health insights. Its non-contact nature means it does not interfere with the user's day-to-day activities.

• Efficiency for Caregivers: By automating continuous monitoring, the sensor reduces the workload on staff, allowing them to focus on high-priority cases. The data generated by the sensor offers valuable insights that help caregivers make informed decisions without constant manual checks.

The Vital Signs Monitoring Sensor represents the next step in elderly care, using advanced, non-contact technology to provide reliable, 24/7 health monitoring. It empowers caregivers with the data and alerts they need to act swiftly, ultimately enhancing safety and improving the quality of life for the elderly.
