Sensiotec leads way for intelligent remote patient monitoring

ATLANTA & SAN FRANCISCO, USA: At the OneMedForum in San Francisco, Sensiotec, a wireless digital technology leader, announced the expansion of its executive leadership team and discusses successful trials of the company's flagship product, Virtual Medical Assistant (VMA), with Tenet Healthcare and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

Founded in 2008, Sensiotec is the pioneer in developing the world's first non-contact remote vital signs monitor, offering a non-invasive device with no electrodes or leads to measure patients' heart and respiration rate, bed occupancy, and movement. Year 2014 will mark the global availability of VMA to hospitals and healthcare providers. Over the past several years, Sensiotec has been laser focused on clinical trials and future applications.

"The US market for advanced patient monitoring systems more than doubled between 2007 and 2011. Today it represents one of the fastest growing market segments with a forecast of reaching $20.9 billion by 2016," explains Robert Arkin, CEO and founder of Sensiotec.

"With half of all US hospital beds completely unmonitored and many more under-monitored, Sensiotec developed VMA to fill this gap by providing a remote patient monitoring solution that will drastically increase remote monitoring for hospitals and healthcare providers. The bottom line is an overall improvement in patient care standards."
