Invent a smart health smart health connected object to unclog hospitals

Smartcardia, a Swiss start-up, has developed a smart health smart health connected object that could well revolutionize hospital emergency services; and more generally our report to the hospital.

Smartcardia is based on the principle that the vital signs of patients must be constantly monitored; these must be smart health connected to numerous sensors. But all these machines could soon be replaced by a small electronic patch.

Applied to a patient's chest under their clothes, the patch uses built-in sensors to monitoring temperature, pulse, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and heart electrical activity. All these sensors therefore make it possible to follow the majority of the vital signs of the patients.

The data is transmitted wirelessly to a server which doctors can access in real time via a smartphone, tablet or any other device smart health connected to the internet.

In addition to its use in hospitals, the patch could also allow patients to be monitored remotely while at health home. This would reduce the number of hospital visits, while ensuring that any problems are detected immediately. When you know the price of a day of hospitalization, the interest is not complicated to understand.

Smartcardia is also working on an artificial intelligence system that would allow the patch to quickly identify health problems. It would do this by detecting slight changes in a patient's vital signs. To go even further, a cross analysis of these changes would also be studied by the company.

The Smartcardia patch has already been tested on hundreds of patients in several hospitals and recently received CE approval from the European Union for medical devices. Large-scale production has started and a commercial launch for the Swiss and European markets should take place very soon. We will follow this very closely!
