It automates time-consuming critical tasks thus improving the experience of patients
Honeywell Technology Solutions has developed a wearable device for real-time patient monitoring, and recording of vital signs data, which it said would help make routine tasks by healthcare professionals and caregivers a lot easier.
Called Real-Time Health Monitoring System (RTHMS), the device comprises a wrist-band that monitors SpO2 (oxygen saturation levels) and a disposable, wearable biosensor patch with a QR code placed on the patient’s chest, which records other vitals such as ECG, respiratory rate, heart rate, skin temperature, and posture of the patient. A caregiver can scan the QR code and monitor patients in real time or remotely on a dashboard placed at the nursing station, says the company.
