Dozee’s Vital Signs Measurement System Gets USFDA Clearance
Dozee on Thursday announced its proprietary contactless vital signs (VS) measurement technology has received US FDA 510(k) clearance, the company said in a statement.
Dozee’s proprietary contactless sensor sheet is placed under the patient’s mattress to capture micro-vibrations produced by every heartbeat, respiration cycle, and body movement, using ‘Ballistocardiography’.
The pod placed next to the patient’s bedside converts the vibration data into encrypted digital signals. These signals are converted into vital signs like Heart Rate, Respiration Rate, Body Movements, etc. using proprietary cloud-based algorithms. The vital sign data is presented on Cloud-enabled Remote Monitoring Dashboard to healthcare providers, the company said.
According to nursing and midwifery professional organisations, India falls short of the WHO recommended rate of 3 nurses per 1,000 population and needs 4.3 million more nurses by 2024 to meet the WHO norms.
Contactless remote patient monitoring can transform healthcare in India and globally. It can help to reduce workload and improve efficiency by enabling them to remotely and continuously monitor multiple patients with clinical accuracy at once, the company's statement read.
“When we started Dozee, our market assessment suggested that India imports 85-90 per cent of the medical devices. Our dream was not just to make India Aatmanirbhar but to elevate India's position in delivering world-class medical devices and technology globally. We are committed to Made in India, with global standards. USFDA is a gold standard when it comes to medical devices and algorithms. Dozee VS is our flagship contactless vitals technology that has received US FDA Clearance, an important milestone towards our vision #HarBedDozeeBed globally” said Gaurav Parchani, CTO and Co-Founder of Dozee.
