HumanITcare and VitalAire Brazil are using Garmin wearables to help revolutionise remote monitoring of patients who rely on long-term oxygen therapy, potentially resulting in timely interventions and personalised care; all from the comfort of patients’ homes.
A recent collaboration between connected health company, HumanITcare, member of CataloniaBio & HealthTech, and global leader in service and support for home oxygen therapy, VitalAire, a segment of Air Liquide in Brazil, and Garmin, a global leading provider in smartwatches, has made waves in the monitoring of patients with chronic diseases. The project, VitalSign, focuses on VitalAire’s goal of effectively monitoring and treating patients undergoing long-term oxygen therapy at home, ultimately allowing for timely interventions and personalised care. Continuous accessibility to track patients’ vital health metrics is made possible by utilisation of the Garmin Venu Sq smartwatch and the integrated Garmin Health SDK.
The team at VitalAire Brazil was looking for a comprehensive and interoperable remote patient monitoring platform that allowed for continuous monitoring vital signs, including heart rate and oxygen saturation levels and detecting possible decompensations through AI. This data potentially could help with the early detection of any potential health issues in chronic respiratory diseases. The interoperable API solution offered by HumanITcare delivers exactly this kind of a comprehensive platform which is also considered a medical product and additionally offers communication channels with patients as a secure chat, push notifications with patients and an integrated care solution. The platform can be seamlessly integrated with smart devices, in this case, the Venu Sq smartwatch.
HumanITcare also leveraged the Garmin Health SDK to ensure compatibility between the Venu Sq and their healthcare monitoring platform. This integration enables seamless access to the data collected on the smartwatch, allowing users to conveniently view and manage all their health information within the platform. Moreover, the user can chat with the medical team and receive feedback from them remotely.
