Underwater BP Monitor

Tech ID: 24T025

­Advantages:

  • Continuous non-invasive monitoring during scuba diving for improved therapy assessment and physiological data collection.
  • Versatile applications in healthcare and recreational activities.
  • Real-time blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation monitoring without cuffs, enhancing convenience and accuracy

Summary:

The current issue in healthcare is the lack of effective monitoring tools for individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury, during scuba diving therapy. Traditional devices are incompatible with underwater conditions, limiting the collection of critical physiological data and hindering therapy assessment.

This technology introduces a unique solution by offering a waterproof cardiac biometric monitor that can withstand the pressures of underwater environments, tested up to 4 ATM. It continuously and non-invasively tracks vital parameters, providing real-time data. This innovation not only addresses the immediate need for scuba diving therapy monitoring but also extends its application to various healthcare settings and recreational activities, revolutionizing blood pressure monitoring by eliminating the need for cuffs. The technology's versatility and ingenuity make it a valuable asset in improving patient care and well-being.
