Products
Caretaker Medical's key product is VitalStream, an FDA-cleared, wireless, wearable monitor. VitalStream uses a comfortable finger sensor and a familiar tablet interface to provide continuous measurement of cardiac output, blood pressure, and other advanced hemodynamic parameters. The device incorporates patented Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA) technology and artificial intelligence algorithms to deliver accurate results. With a setup time of under 90 seconds, VitalStream offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for continuous patient monitoring.
Technology
VitalStream leverages patented Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA) technology and artificial intelligence algorithms to provide continuous and accurate beat-by-beat hemodynamic monitoring. This wireless device can be set up and calibrated in less than 90 seconds and is capable of measuring over 20 advanced hemodynamic parameters. VitalStream's data can be centrally displayed and aggregated using VitalStation, which can manage data for up to 24 patients and interface with electronic health record (EHR) systems for up to 30 patients through a single connection.
User Applications
VitalStream is designed for use in a variety of medical settings to improve patient care and operational efficiency. It is utilized in emergency rooms, intensive care units, operating rooms, and ambulatory surgery centers. The device is also suitable for monitoring patients during ketamine therapy and sedation dentistry, providing a compact and portable solution for continuous vital signs monitoring. By offering continuous monitoring throughout the hospital stay, including during early ambulation, VitalStream helps improve perioperative outcomes and sepsis management.
Efficiency and Cost Reduction
VitalStream aims to help hospitals reduce operational and monitoring costs by offering a more affordable alternative to traditional ICU monitoring systems. The wire-free design and rapid setup process allow for efficient patient management. Utilizing VitalStation, healthcare providers can centrally monitor and display data for multiple patients, thereby improving workflow efficiencies and reducing the need for multiple standalone monitoring devices. This centralized approach helps minimize overall equipment expenditure and operational overhead for healthcare facilities.
