Patient, staff monitoring “The Biobeat Technologies Ltd.’s end-to-end remote patient moni- toring platform consists of small wearable wireless non-invasive sensors that automatically collect and transmit in real time 15 vital signs, including cuffless blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, saturation, temperature, and advanced hemodynamic parameters,” Eisenkraft highlighted. “The platform is cloud-based, with no lim- its as to how many patients could be monitored at a given time. Deidentified patient data (the vitals only) is transmitted to a web application, available to the healthcare providers on any platform (laptops, tablets, etc.) and wherever they are. e continued, “During the first COID- wave, the Biobeat platform was deployed in most COID- isolation units across Israel, and in several hospitals in the US, in Western Europe and in Africa. Direct contact with patients was cut in about a half, and healthcare providers received timely alerts helping them with situational awareness and as a decision support tool, with issues such as providing oxygen and ventilation…We were able to show that vast cardiological changes occur early upon admission among COID- patients, at the same time respiratory changes appear. Remarkable changes were found in men compared to women, in the elderly and in the obese, and involved mainly the cardiac out- put and the systemic vascular resistance. In recent weeks, we also monitored people receiving the COID- vaccines, with important insights regarding their side effects. In short, the vaccine looks safe, and we will soon publish our results.” In terms of monitoring for infections, Coyle highlighted, “Within our institution, we were able to provide on-site COVID testing for patients and employees seven days a week. We also implemented a healthcare check tool, which was emailed to all employees each


day. This questionnaire focused on signs and symptoms of COVID to assess if employees should report to work or quarantine and get tested.”


Device management “We have worked with thousands of hospitals over the past year to help them obtain equipment replacement products as quickly as possible,” Pare stated. “For example, one hospital system’s clinical engineering department was challenged with a lack of oxygen hoses for ventilators, but through our nationwide network and using guaranteed stocking, the department was able to obtain those for the hospital overnight. For another hospital system, the
