EarlySense Chair Sensor Monitors Vitals While You Sit

Jul-08-14 With the Chair Sensor from EarlySense, monitoring a patient's vitals is as easy as having them take a seat.

The Chair Sensor was developed based on the long-held knowledge that moving patients from the bed to a chair helps to improve healing, particularly in the days immediately after surgery. However, until now there was no easy, non-invasive way to monitor patients as they sat in the chairs.

The Chair Sensor is contained within a cushion that can be place on any chair, where it will measure the patient's heart rate, respiratory rate and motion via its embedded sensors. A monitor attached to the device will display the information in real-time while also sending the data to the nurse's station, and any unusual changes in vitals will trigger an alarm. The Chair Sensor will also let staff know when the patient is attempting to get up from the chair, which gives them time to send someone in to assist.
