Challenge
The dual issues of an aging population and the COVID-19 pandemic heighten the shortage of caregivers and the lack of care quality. Many do not prefer wearable devices due to discomfort and electromagnetic wave concerns. The high COVID-19 death rates in care centers underline the need for non-invasive, continuous monitoring solutions. Traditional methods struggle to timely identify COVID-19, especially among asymptomatic and comorbid patients.
Description
Huijia developed the nFOPT® Smart Care System, a non-invasive fiber optic monitoring technology placed under pillows and bed covers, capable of accurately tracking vital signs like respiratory rate, heart rate, and sleep quality without emitting electromagnetic waves. It provides 24-hour remote monitoring and instant alerts, reducing the contact and risk for medical staff and ensuring continuous care both in homes and care centers.
Outcomes
Mass adoption in over 300 care centers, positively impacting over 100,000 users. Enhanced early detection of COVID-19 and chronic conditions, reduced burden on healthcare providers, ensured safety and high accuracy in monitoring vital signs.
