Intelligent patient monitors
BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable
<p>The BioButton®* medical-grade wearable provides trending data on key vital signs and biometrics that serve as early indicators of patient decline. </p>
Features
Stay connected to what’s important with wearable monitors
Discover how the BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable can help you quickly become aware of declining vital signs for early intervention and identify patients who are stable enough to send home.
Remote monitoring wearables can help contribute to a patient’s recovery, which may also improve patient throughput.‡,1,2
Streamlined clinical workflow
When you spend less of the workday manually documenting vital signs, you can spend more of it caring for your patients.‡,3
Fewer threshold alarms mean healthcare providers can experience reduced alarm fatigue.‡,4
Better patient outcomes
Identify adverse patient trends quickly to lower unplanned ICU admissions‡,5–6 and decrease instances of complications.‡,5
Improved throughput
Confidently use trending data as a tool to identify stable patients who qualify for early discharge from the hospital.
Remote monitoring lets clinical teams get patients back to the comfort of their homes sooner with shorter hospital stays.‡,2,7
In-hospital
Manage the complexities of patient care
Deployment of continuous remote monitoring systems can help reduce patients’ length of stay,‡,7 improve a hospital’s overall throughput, decrease spot checking and manual charting to streamline workflow,‡,3 and improve patient outcomes.‡,1
- Empowers clinicians with actionable insights‡,1
- Allows them to spend more time with patients
Hospital-to-home
Stay in sync during the transition to home
The small and discreet BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable can provide cost-effective monitoring outside of the hospital setting,‡,8 so you can discharge confidently.
- Identify patients with potential for early discharge‡,2,7
- Reduce the likelihood of 30-day readmissions in patients with chronic illnesses such as COPD and CHF‡,9
- Reduce mortality rates‡,8
Hospital-at-home
Hospital monitoring continues at home
With the BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable as a part of your acute care-at-home program, you can provide care for patients while they continue to recover in the comfort of their own homes.
- Provides insightful patient data in between visits
- Helps providers understand patient trends and decide if intervention is required
- Extends hospital capacity beyond number of beds in units‡,7
Spot-checking is not enough
Collecting vitals manually only every
4–6 hours
can leave patients unmonitored
96% of the time,10
compromising the safety of
patients at high risk
of adverse events.11
But telemetry can be too much
Of those patients on telemetry, up to
76% do not meet criteria for it,12
alerting nurses with a daily average of
53 or more notifications per patient13
and leading to higher hospital costs.15
Bridge the gap with the BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable
Wide-ranging vital tracking captures 1,440 daily vital sign measurements compared to four spot‑checks.14
Reduce distraction with an average of just one notification per patient every nurse shift.‡,13
Every year, hospitals can save 200,000 lives and $19,940 per bed with continuous monitoring.§,15
A medical grade vital tool for vital signs
- BioButton®* wearable is small and discreet with replaceable long-lasting adhesives.16
- Clinical alarm fatigue is reduced with BioButton®* personalized baseline notifications with data frequency that is appropriate for all patients.‡,4
- Paired with the BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable device, the secure, purpose-built BioDashboard™ platform and BioMobile™ app allow clinicians to monitor the vital signs of patients who have been discharged from the hospital.
