Rapid, remote vital sign monitoring and screening

• Based on thermal and optical sensing analysis of digital imaging, this technology allows for rapid measurement of photoplethysmogram (PPG), temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate beyond conventional distance limitations (e.g. at distances more than 1m), with the ability to add other components (e.g. tissue oxygenation and blood pressure) in the future
• This solution enables contactless screening and monitoring of vital signs in kiosk, multicamera, or handheld approaches
• Proprietary algorithms eliminate the need for individuals to remain motionless for extended periods of time and can be adapted to monitor groups of individuals at once

OPPORTUNITY

• This tool allows for the screening of individuals before or instead of coming into contact with other individuals, patients, or healthcare workers
• The platform can be optimized to monitor or flag for further screening individuals displaying symptoms associated with respiratory illnesses like Covid-19 in settings including:
  • Hospitals
  • Elder care facilities
  • Airports
  • Factories
  • Workplaces
  • Stadiums
• The team’s expertise in respirology, optics, tissue oxygenation, and hemodynamics is combined with experience adapting technologies to urgent care, clinical, and industrial use

STATUS

• Seeking codevelopment and commercial partners
• US Patent 11,850,026: Remote portable vital signs monitoring
