Virtual Health + Medicine 3.0
Virtual health is connecting people to healthcare in more affordable ways, regardless of their geographical or physical limitations. Sempulse technology helps to bridge and communicate key information for doctors and patients alike.
Many injured and sick people have historically been in danger of not receiving proper medical care due to their location and lack of resources. Connecting disabled, rural, and under-served communities with quality medical care previously unavailable is imperative as our society moves into the future. Sempulse technology is built to serve this rapidly growing field, as it makes remote and continuous physiological monitoring of patients available to care providers in an affordable and easy to use platform.
A Growing Field
Virtual health is a multi-billion-dollar industry making up roughly one-fourth of the health IT market, with exponential growth projections year after year. Currently over half of all hospitals in the U.S. have established a virtual health program, 48 states require insurance to cover telemedicine, and 90% of U.S. healthcare executives report that their organization has formed or are in the process of forming a telemedicine program. Virtual health is already proving to enhance patient outcomes. Its application in the V.A.’s post cardiac arrest care program reduced hospital readmissions by 51%. Hospitals utilizing virtual health have also seen the length of stay for ER visits substantially reduce, and ICU survival rates increase.
Physiological Monitoring
Currently, acquiring real time patient vitals in a virtual clinic setting is costly, difficult, and time consuming. Sempulse provides a lightweight, reusable, non-invasive sensor that is easy to use and eliminates the need for multiple costly sensors that require highly trained operators. These monitoring capabilities ensure patients receive proper and informed medical care that is consistent with their injuries and illnesses, supporting enhanced medical decision making, and increasing positive patient outcomes.
Letting Doctors Do Their Jobs
In addition to continuous vital signs monitoring, Sempulse also automatically documents and categorizes patients, eliminating many of the paper trail barriers for medical personnel. With automatic and objective diagnosing, immediate documentation, and informed prioritization, Sempulse enables virtual health practitioners to avoid distractions and focus on patient care.
Medicine 3.0
Medicine 3.0 represents a shift towards a more proactive, personalized, and preventive approach to healthcare, with a focus on longevity and healthspan. The Sempulse Halo device aligns well with this paradigm and can aid Medicine 3.0 in several ways.
Key Aspects of Medicine 3.0
Medicine 3.0 emphasizes:
- Proactive health management rather than reactive treatment
- Evidence-based and data-driven approaches
- Focus on longevity and extending healthspan
- Personalized medicine tailored to individual needs
- Continuous monitoring and early intervention
How Sempulse Halo Supports Medicine 3.0
The Sempulse Halo device offers several features that complement the goals of Medicine 3.0:
Continuous Vital Sign Monitoring
The Halo monitor provides real-time tracking of five major vital signs: SpO2, pulse rate, respiratory rate, core body temperature, and skin temperature. This continuous data stream enables proactive health management by detecting subtle changes before they become serious issues.
Non-Invasive and Wearable
As a small device that attaches behind the ear, the Sempulse Halo allows for seamless integration into daily life. This non-invasive approach encourages consistent use and long-term health monitoring.
Remote Patient Monitoring
The Halo system transmits data wirelessly, allowing healthcare providers to monitor patients remotely. This capability supports telemedicine initiatives and enables early intervention when needed.
Data-Driven Insights
By collecting comprehensive vital sign data over time, the Halo contributes to building a rich dataset for each patient. This information can be used to identify trends, personalize treatment plans, and inform preventive strategies.
Versatile Applications
The Halo’s ability to function in various settings – from hospitals and clinics to homes and workplaces – makes it adaptable to different aspects of Medicine 3.0, including chronic disease management and workplace health monitoring.
AI and Machine Learning Integration
Sempulse’s platform incorporates AI and machine learning to analyze data, recognize patterns, and prioritize resources. This aligns with Medicine 3.0’s emphasis on leveraging advanced technologies for improved healthcare outcomes.By providing continuous, non-invasive vital sign monitoring and leveraging data analytics, the Sempulse Halo device supports the core principles of Medicine 3.0. It enables a more proactive, personalized approach to healthcare that can contribute to extending healthspan and improving overall quality of life.
