VITAL-ECG: A portable wearable hospital

After surgery, patients should remain under medical supervision to avoid possible complications. For this purpose, several patient vital parameters are monitored to ensure their health status. These checks generally require medical instruments, specialized personnel, and a hospital bed. If it would be possible to discharge the patient from hospital right after surgery, the costs for the health service would be greatly reduced and beds in hospitals could be used for more critical cases. VITAL-ECG is a smartwatch, developed to perform the most used checks as a “one touch” device, anywhere, at low cost. “One touch” because the post-operative person should not be an expert in medical devices and our medical smartwatch can be used with just one finger. Everywhere, because he can live away from the hospital. Low cost because anyone can afford to use it. It is a wearable and easy-to-use device that works with any tablet or smartphone to monitor the most important vital parameters: electrocardiogram and heart rate, blood oxygen level, skin temperature and moisture, and physical activity of the patient. Machine learning algorithms can detect anomalies in the patient's state and report it to medical staff via the smartphone.
