Philips and
Radboudumc Unveil Health Monitoring System for
COPD Patients (VIDEO)
At the Dreamforce 2014 conference in San Francisco this week,
Philips and Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc) in The Netherlands*unveiled a prototype prototype
System for managing and improving the lives of
Patients with COPD. The
System relies on
Patients wearing a
Health***** MD from
Vital Connect (San Jose, California) that sticks to the chest and monitors one lead ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and posture. The
Patients also receive a spirometer and a tablet computer. The data from the ***** and spirometer is sent to the
Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform and passed on to relevant clinicians via the eCareCoordinator application.
The
Patients can review their personal data using the provided tablet and enter any additional information using a special app. Additional
Health parameters from other devices will soon be able to flow into the
System thanks to an API
Philips is developing for the HealthSuite.
Here’s a
Philips video presenting the new system:
