Introducing Loop Vital Signs Wearable Monitor from SpryHealth
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Loop-wearable.jpg (http://spryhealth.com/)SpryHealth, previously Echo Labs, is an**uncing the launch of Loop (http://spryhealth.com/#/loop-wearable), a clinical-grade wearableآ*designed to enable improved health outcomes through continuous vital sign monitoring and early detection of clinical deterioration. SpryHealth was founded byآ*Pierre-Jean â??PJâ?* Cobut and Elad Ferber out of the Stanford Graduate School of Businessآ*and StartX (http://startx.com/), a Stanford accelerator.آ*They started the companyآ*to enable proactive care and reduce the nearly 28M hospital admissions attributed to chronic conditions.
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Loop-2.jpg (http://spryhealth.com/)Little is k**wn for **w on the tech**logy behind Loop, however, SpryHealth indicatesآ*that the device is capable of **n-invasively measuring blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, CO2آ*levels, and respirations.
A quick review of patent applications provides insight into how the system might work (blood pressure (https://www.google.com/patents/US20160242700?dq=Elad+Ferber&cl=en)آ*and multispectral measurements (https://www.google.com/patents/US20140316226)). It seems that blood pressure may be derived from pulse wave transit time and velocities while heart rateآ*and oxygen and CO2آ*monitoring relies on theآ*tech**logy behind traditional pulse oximetry. Respiratory rateآ*is often times derived from these measurements, however, the key is in implementation and accuracy of the system in real-life – this is something that has plagued many wearable tech**logies in healthcare, particularly those relying on pulse wave transit time as an indicator of blood pressure.
SpryHealth will combineآ*data from Loop with anآ*analytics platform to deliver actionable insights to healthcare organizations designed to improve health outcomes and prevent costly hospitalizations.
