The Global Startup Heat Map below highlights 5 startups & scaleups developing patient monitoring solutions. Moreover, the Heat Map reveals regions that observe a high startup activity and illustrates the geographic distribution of all 445 companies we analyzed for this specific topic.
Kura Care – Artificial Intelligence (AI) Health Platform
Technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) enable medical staff to monitor patients’ health and wellbeing remotely. The continuous tracking of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases and diabetes supports them to lead normal lives while providing the necessary medical support in the case of an emergency. To this end, startups develop AI-based solutions to monitor patients’ vital signs and overall provide better healthcare.
The US-based startup Kura Care creates an AI-based platform for both healthcare providers and patients. By using its mobile application kardioPAC the startup’s solution records and tracks a patient’s vital signs and, based on this, prepares clinical reports for medical professionals to share with their patients on a regular basis.
Evitalz – Telehealth Diagnostics
Long-distance clinical healthcare is crucial for patients who are not in the condition to travel. Technological advancements in digital communication enable medical professionals to extend their services to anyone across the world in real-time. To improve the reach of healthcare, even to extremely remote locations, startups are developing telehealth solutions for the industry.
Indian digital healthcare startup Evitalz provides wireless smart medical devices that measure the vital signs of patients. The smart devices collect medical data and communicate it to iOS and Android devices. The startup also offers a secure cloud-based diabetes management system that delivers treatment decision support, empowering medical professionals to better assist patients.
SmartPeep – Patient Safety Monitoring
Traditionally, older patients in hospice care and other assisted living situations require extra supervision due to their age and medical condition. Monitoring chronic conditions in senior citizens with technologies such as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) reduces the pressure on staff, who can then direct their personal assistance to patients who need their assistance urgently.
Singaporean startup SmartPeep develops an eponymous AI-enabled patient monitoring system for hospitals and senior care facilities. SmartPeep notifies nurses when a patient falls in common areas or inside their room. Quick and timely alerts like this support nurses to provide better healthcare and improve overall service efficiency.
Studio1Labs – Hospital Fabrics
IoT advancements like embedded biosensors and wearables have already found wide adoption, transforming the healthcare industry. Among others, these include portable devices to monitor glucose levels, blood pressure, and pulse rates in real-time. Making use of this approach, startups develop sensor-based solutions to help hospitals monitor their patients effectively and provide timely assistance if necessary.
Canadian startup Studio1Labs utilizes fabric sensor technology to manufacture smart bedsheets. The startup’s bedsheet sensors track respiration patterns and identify pressure ulcers in bed-ridden patients. The solution enables hospitals to monitor patient vitals without the need for physical attachments.
Medisanté – Remote Patient Monitoring
Elderly people and people from rural areas often have difficulties in visiting healthcare professionals compared to people living in cities. This creates the need for startups to develop solutions that enable patients to receive healthcare from the comfort of their own homes. Advancements in wearable technology and connected medical devices help monitor patients remotely and provide medical assistance in real-time.
Swiss startup Medisanté offers medical IoT infrastructure to leverage the IoT for care teams. The startup enables healthcare providers and pharma companies to securely record patient health data without Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The startup’s product portfolio includes a blood glucose monitoring system, an electrocardiogram event recorder, and a body composition scale.
