- VitalSigns
Detects, records, analyzes, and documents body sounds, but also performs all other necessary examinations simultaneously. Our device takes the temperature, blood oxygen saturation, ECG, pulse, respiratory phase and rate, blood pressure and heart rate variability among others, all during the same time and process of using a stethoscope, almost exactly as doctors have used it so far. This will reduce the time needed to perform these examinations to a fraction of today’s time spent and increase the diagnostic accuracy by AI data analysis.
Medical doctors today are under an immense pressure, having to manage ever increasing patient numbers resulting in very little time spent per patient. General practitioners in Finland typically have 15-20 minutes per patient, considerably less in most other countries. During this time, they need to read the patient’s history, listen to their present complains and perform physical examinations, such as, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, temperature, and auscultation of (listening to) lungs and the heart, plus other more specific exams to come to a possible diagnosis. They also must document all these in the patient’s file, which at the moment is either by typing or dictating the text, which altogether takes a considerable portion of the allocated timeslot.
