About SensiumVitals®
SensiumVitals® is an ultra-low power system for wireless monitoring of patient vital signs. Readings are taken every two minutes and the data is sent wirelessly and securely to clinicians via hospital IT systems. The system is used in general wards and Accident & Emergency patient waiting areas.
The key benefit of SensiumVitals® is to provide clinicians with timely warnings of patient deterioration. This allows them to make earlier interventions, which in turn leads to shorter stays in hospital and lower healthcare costs. The system also enables patients to be monitored whilst moving around freely within the hospital - a further factor in aiding swift recovery.
