Ascom integrates Oxitone’s wrist medical monitor
With the Integration of the Oxitone® 1000M wrist medical monitor into the Digistat® Wearables solution, the process of measuring, recording and sending vital signs is optimized. This is important to patient safety.1
The current management of patients with severe chronic and complex diseases is a strain to the healthcare system, whether these patients are in the hospital or remain at home. The top 5% of chronic patients account for 50% of care spending. COVID-19 highlighted healthcare providers´ concerns about the immediate availability of remote monitoring solutions: they are often fragmented, burdened by false alarms and not always adapted for high-risk patients.
For many primary care providers, it is clear that the current systems are not working, especially for people with severe acute and complex conditions.2 There is an urgent need to adopt new healthcare solutions to get the right information in a timely manner to maximize patient care and reduce cost.
Oxitone developed a continuous remote monitoring solution to address the need for continuous care for patients with severe chronic and complex diseases. At the core of the solution is an exceptionally accurate FDA-cleared and CE-certified wrist medical monitor. The Oxitone 1000M continuously collects and analyses multiple physiological parameters such as blood oxygen saturation, heart rate and variability, skin temperature, activity, sleep disorders, respiratory rate and their derivatives3. This enables physicians to take real-time therapeutic decisions.
The device combines the convenience of a wearable and its tracking technology, with the capabilities of a continuous monitor, previously only available in a hospital or care facility. Such benefits create a seamless flow throughout the continuum of care and offers more detailed parameters compared to traditional remote monitoring tools.
Oxitone wrist medical monitor delivers information contributing to simplifying and expediting difficult clinical decision making, in order to promote the best clinical outcomes.
With Oxitone 1000M, you can continously monitor.4
