Wireless patch poised to streamline emergency rooms

See on Scoop.it - Medical-IT

In order to have their vital signs continuously monitored, patients in emergency rooms have to be hooked up to a variety of sensors – this makes it awkward for them to move around, among other things. Soon, however, all those machines could be replaced by one small electronic patch that adheres to their chest.

The device was developed by Swiss startup Smartcardia, a company that was spun off from the EPFL research institute.
