SEERS’ Bio Patch is a non-invasive, body-worn wireless device that continuously measures a patient’s vital signs including ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability, activity, and respiration rate among others.
Similar to an ECG electrode, the Bio Patch® is worn on the left side of the chest. A temperature sensor and a Single Lead ECG technique (Lead II) measure a variety of parameters, including Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs), impedance, and the other variables described above. It has a heart rate range of 30-280 beats per minute.
The BioPatch captures vital signs, bioimpedance, and movements, which are then sent to the iCloud via a SEERS-developed mobile app. The R-R intervals, QRS complexes, heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and activity level of a patient are calculated using a multi-sensing algorithm built in the app.
It is clear that we are moving towards a future where telemedicine and virtual healthcare will be an integral part of the healthcare system. This technology is geared towards making patient-physician relationships easier and more intuitive. All the data collected is relayed back to the involved physicians in order to facilitate an early and accurate diagnosis as well as a subsequent treatment plan.
