SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vital Connect announced today that it received Medical Device Ninsho certification to market its HealthPatch® MD as a telemetric electrocardiography transmission device and body movement sensor in Japan. As an industry pioneer of advanced wearable biosensor technology, Vital Connect offers the possibility that Japanese medical professionals can monitor the vital signs of in-hospital patients, out-patients and patients at home by using this medical device.
The HealthPatch® MD is a disposable wireless electrocardiography transmission device worn on the chest that collects and transmits biological data. Its light and thin form factor (only 10g and 6mm thick) is comfortable for patients and less obtrusive than conventional monitoring equipment. Sensors and algorithm technologies in HealthPatch® MD provide continuous, clinical-grade measurements of core health metrics, including the following: single lead ECG, heart rate, respiratory status, body movement and body surface temperature. The device uses Bluetooth 4.0 to transfer the information, and that information can be analyzed and displayed by using the medical device on which a software program developed for the HealthPatch MD® is installed.
