ViSi Mobile - Vital Signs Monitoring System

Advanced monitoring is standard in ICUs, yet nearly half of all adverse events in hospitalized patients occur on the general care ward^1,2,3 where current monitoring protocols typically consist of intermittent spot checks about every 4-8 hours.

This leaves patients unmonitored for most of the time⁴ where subtle abnormalities in vital signs go undetected until complications arise.

Studies have shown that continuous vital signs monitoring is associated with significant improvements in key clinical outcomes in patients treated in the general care ward.^5,6

The ViSi Mobile comprehensive vital signs monitoring system keeps clinicians connected to their patients, whether in bed, in transport, or while ambulating because even one failure-to-rescue is one too many.

Medical-surgical units are too often understaffed and overwhelmed with basic patient care tasks, which can put patients more at risk for developing hospital-acquired infections and sepsis. These patients are also more likely to be missed when experiencing the catastrophic deterioration that occurs with the development of sepsis. 

ViSi Mobile gives medical professionals real-time, remote access to vital sign data. This includes early signs and symptoms of sepsis. The device also enables staff to observe trends over time rather than just snapshots of a particular moment, halting sepsis's progress before it becomes life-threatening.

The technology allows medical staff to get on with daily tasks and treat other patients, safe in the knowledge that ViSi Mobile will notify them when vital signs breach previously-chosen parameters. This saves time and energy in the under-staffed and under-funded health sector. The system can be integrated with existing hospital tech, while alarms and updates can be sent to staff phones and uploaded directly to patient records.

According to the Sepsis Alliance, “Sepsis is the number 1 cost of hospitalization in the U.S. Costs for acute sepsis hospitalization and skilled nursing are estimated to be $62 billion annually.” With more than 270,000 lives lost annually, sepsis ranks as the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (after heart disease and cancer).

Discover how continuous surveillance monitoring of all major vital signs (HR, RR, SpO2, and blood pressure) can offer a safety net for overwhelmed and understaffed nursing units.
