Caring for your loved one can be
AS EASY AS SLEEPING
Heart Failure in Seniors
Proper self-monitoring by the patient at home can prevent recurrent congestion.However, 70% of heart failure patients are seniors, and of these, 30% or 1.4 million patients in North America have cognitive impairment as comorbidity, spanning from forgetfulness to severe dementia.Limited physical and cognitive capacities may disrupt the ability to self-monitor, resulting in otherwise preventable readmission.
HOW
IT WORKS
Our patent-pending sensors can acquire cardiovascular information without skin contact or any wearable devices
Place the sensors under the bed
Sleep as usual
That's it! The device will check your heart health during sleep
No wearable devices, cameras, wires, or electrodes on your skin.
