The Friday Five – New Health Tech

Mar 1, 2019 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Health Innovation, Health IT, HIT Feed |

Innovation is all around us and when it comes to healthcare new and improved medical devices and technology are popping up every day. This week’s Friday Five gives an overview of some of the latest in innovative health tech.

Matt Sappern, CEO of PeriGen
On this HIMSS19 Highlights interview, Matt Sappern, CEO of PeriGen (@PeriGen) shares his views on what he sees is broken in our healthcare system and discusses how technology, and specifically AI, can be used to improve clinical outcomes and financial ROI for organizations.

 

WeatherX
Did you know shifts in barometric pressure are a common cause of severe headaches? While many of us may not have known this, those who suffer weather related migraines definitely do. Fortunately, WeatherX (@CIRRUShp) has developed pressure filtering earplugs for weather pressure changes. Inside the soft, hypoallergenic silicone exterior of the earplug is a built-in ceramic inner filter that slows down the shift in barometric pressure. Not sure when you’ll need to use your new plugs? WeatherX has an app for that which will send alerts on your phone ahead of a change in pressure.

Migraine? Check out the WeatherX app from @CIRRUShp https://t.co/bSdri6t4mG

Master Caution® Device and Garment
The Master Caution® is the first and only 3-12 lead ECG smart digital garment that is CE/FDA-cleared. It advocates a full management solution for the purpose of transforming healthcare, offering a digital health platform and virtual medical care intertwined with the Medical Internet-of-Things. Master Caution’s® continuous monitoring solutions assist clinicians in remotely monitoring their elderly or bed-ridden patients: being alerted of cardiac events such as ischemia and arrhythmias in near real-time, using the Master Caution®’s automatic analysis (AI), and thus securing personal health around-the-clock for improved patient safety.
