LifeSigns introduces its novel iMS technology, a wearable wireless biosensor enabling continuous monitoring of vital signs. This includes ECG, pulse rate, temperature, heart rate, posture, blood pressure, and SPo2.
SSM Multispeciality Hospital has partnered with LifeSigns, a Chennai-based healthtech startup, to implement 24/7 wireless patient monitoring at its facility in Hassan, Karnataka.
Following the partnership, LifeSigns introduced its iMS technology, a wearable wireless biosensor enabling continuous monitoring of vital signs. This includes ECG, pulse rate, temperature, heart rate, posture, blood pressure, and SPo2. With this facility in place, patients can now be monitored anytime and anywhere.
According to Dr Vinayak Narayan, CEO, SSM Hospital, the partnership aims to improve patient experience and improve care. Commenting on the same, he said, "Our collaboration with LifeSigns brings a continuous wireless patient monitoring system to Hassan for the first time."
LifeSigns' wireless patient monitoring solution is anticipated to enhance patient outcomes, reduce medical errors, and offer real-time comprehensive monitoring not only within the hospital but also during at-home care and transit.
Highlighting the mission to bridge the gap between technology and healthcare, Dr Girish Chandra, cofounder & director, LifeSigns, said, "Our wireless monitoring solution enhances patient outcomes and significantly reduces the likelihood of human errors."
Founded in 2019, LifeSigns provides a cloud-based wireless digital patient monitoring solution for healthcare providers. The startup aims to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, using advanced alert algorithms to ensure functionality even in remote corners of India.
This collaboration aligns with LifeSigns' broader initiative to expand critical healthcare access to rural India. The company aims to deploy its AI-powered remote patient monitoring technology using a 'hub & spoke model,' ensuring continuous streaming of patient data to doctors and healthcare professionals in home, ambulance, or hospital settings.
In the second week of December, LifeSigns partnered with Apollo BGS, to offer AI monitoring technology to Mysore and nearby villages. Emergency centres will be established in these areas and connected to the central hub at Apollo Mysore, facilitating timely access to emergency care.
LifeSigns also forged partnership with RailTel Corporation to enhance connectivity in rural India. Leveraging RailTel's extensive optic fibre cable network, spanning over 62,000 Km, LifeSigns aims to facilitate remote patient monitoring in underserved regions.
