Honeywell has developed a real-time health monitoring system, which captures and records patients’ vital signs both within the hospital setting and remotely. Honeywell’s solution monitors vital signs via a skin patch, which connects the data instantaneously to healthcare providers on mobile devices and an online dashboard.

The new system combines advanced sensor technology and data analytics to help improve patient monitoring of vital signs and care delivery in remote environments.

Honeywell’s real-time health monitoring system provides doctors and nurses with a solution to remotely monitor patients in the hospital or at home. The system is designed to be continuously connected to patients and alerts clinicians to changes in patients’ vital signs. It can significantly reduce the time required to collect, analyse and apply patient data as actionable insights.

The system is designed to provide care for patients at home, ambulatory care centres or in other non-hospital settings. Honeywell’s system will also help improve patient quality of life and satisfaction, an often overlooked benefit of remote monitoring.

“Safety and attentiveness are basic expectations for patients being treated in hospitals, and continuous patient monitoring is a necessity for doctors and nurses to provide best-in-class medical care,” said Robert Robinson, healthcare vice president and general manager, Honeywell Sensing & Safety Technologies. “Our solution provides intelligent alerts in the system, helping healthcare providers monitor patients concurrently and improve response time when emergency intervention is needed. At Honeywell, we are committed to a future in which healthcare providers have digital tools to make their jobs more efficient and accurate, and where every patient can receive high-quality care – where and when they need it.”
