Vitalsens receives regulatory seal of approval

Enterprise Equity backed Intelesens today received CE class 2a regulatory approval for its Vitalsens multi-parameter, body-worn, wireless monitoring device from SGS - Yarsley.

Vitalsens is a wearable non-intrusive health monitor comprising a disposable electrode patch and a reusable clip-on transmitter. Data relating to the wearer's health, including heart rate, ecg, temperature and levels of activity are measured in the chest area and transmitted via Bluetooth to software residing on a pc or laptop in the wearer's home or in a ward. This health information can then be accessed by the clinician either locally or remotely.

The company foresees applications for this low-cost breakthrough technology in the management of care for both chronically ill patients at home and to monitor the health of both in-patients and out-patients attending hospital.
