Innovative Development: A Skin-Adhered Patch to Serve as a Monitoring Device
A New Era in Medicine: Philips Develops a Patch That Transmits Patient Data to Medical Staff
The company 'Royal Philips', known for its medical imaging and technology, has unveiled its revolutionary development - a patch that will replace the existing monitor.
The patch, which adheres to the skin, will continuously transmit the patient's life signs to any medical team's monitor. This will free the patient from being tethered to their bed while the medical team continuously receives information about their vital signs: heart rate, respiration rate, skin temperature, and more.
The innovative patch includes an alert system that will activate when it detects deviations from normal measurement ranges. The data will be transmitted to any application or information station.
According to Philips, the new patch is expected to ease the burden on patients, allowing them to move freely within hospitals instead of being confined to a bed. Additionally, the use of the patch will allow for the identification of deviations from the norm before they occur, enabling reporting and prevention of severe complications and side effects in patients.
