An electronic medical device known as a patient monitor is also known as a medical monitor, physiological monitor, or a display. This device has the ability to monitor the patient’s vital signs, display the resulting data, and communicate that information through the monitoring network.
Patient monitors (PMs) are devices that assess physiological parameters and are used to track a patient’s vital signs like blood pressure, temperature, and other vital signs.
Patients with high blood pressure can monitor their status with the aid of blood pressure cuffs. Similar to blood glucose monitors and pulse oximeters, the conventional method of tracking this data was manual.
Vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rate) are typically measured, along with all fluid intake and outflow, intracranial pressure, and occasionally daily weight.
The Global handheld patient monitor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A handheld patient monitoring system called VS1 has been made available by Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) for hospitalised patients with mild to moderate illnesses who are given care in isolation areas.
The nurses’ station is located outside the isolation zone, but VS1 enables the transmission of spot check vital signs of these patients, measured by a pulse oximeter, a thermometer, and a blood-pressure monitor, as well as the patients’ continuous monitoring data with pulse oximeter transmitted to the station.
The oxygen saturation (SpO2) values, which represent the severity of Covid-19 diseases, can be simultaneously monitored on the bedside and on the monitor in the nurses’ station thanks to the VS1 handheld patient monitoring system, which automatically transmits monitoring data with the bedside monitor to the nurses’ station.
Additionally, VS1 provides comprehensive management of body temperature, blood pressure, and other vital signs of patients taken at the bedside at the nurses’ station as part of the nursing records.
Konica Minolta wants to improve the productivity and security of healthcare professionals who treat Covid-19 patients using this technology.
