California-based connected healthcare firm VivaLNK has launched a turnkey service to capture ambulatory continuous vital signs for remote patient monitoring.

The Vitals Data Service provides sensor-to-cloud options for numerous clinical applications.

This latest addition to its medical wearable platform is designed for clinical trials and healthcare applications in remote or clinical settings.

The Vitals Data Service includes VivaLNK’s line of FDA-cleared ambulatory medical wearable sensors, a customisable remote patient-monitoring app, and cloud and data concierge services for consolidated data access in customisable data formats. It is designed for fast and easy continuous data capture in remote locations even in the event of intermittent network disconnections common in ambulatory situations.

Data captured from patients are sent to a centralised cloud service that offers both on-demand and retrospective data access.

Used in pharmaceutical clinical trials including hypertension and neurological drug development, the service is designed to capture and deliver a continuous dataset from anywhere the patient is located. In addition, institutions are using the service for research such as the 3000 patient atrial fibrillation study at UCSF and a study on the effects of stress and teenage depression at Stanford University.

“The launch of the Vitals Data Service is an important step towards enabling the diverse and ever growing need to bring life-changing healthcare applications to market,” said Jiang Li, CEO of VivaLNK. “The next generation of medical application and drug discovery is dependent on the ability to rapidly analyse continuous streams of data in order to understand a more complete picture of human physiology.”

Vitals Data Service also offers a convenient way to download data files from multiple sites for retrospective analysis, or directly integrate clinical applications for machine-to-machine processing on demand. The data available with the service include ECG rhythm, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and accelerometer.

VivaLNK provides connected healthcare for continuous patient monitoring. The company’s portfolio includes medical wearable sensors and data services that continuously monitor physiological parameters. The company’s vision is to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare worldwide by combining technology, data and analytics in an integrated platform.
