Introducing
Loop Vital Signs Wearable Monitor from SpryHealth
SpryHealth, previously Echo Labs, is an**uncing the launch of
Loop, 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, a Stanford accelerator.آ*They started the companyآ*to enable proactive care and reduce the nearly 28M hospital admissions attributed to chronic conditions.
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 pressureآ*and
multispectral measurements). 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.
