Zurich-based MedTech startup Sleepiz partnered with SMS Hospital, Ahmedabad, located in Gujarat, to introduce its innovative technology that can upgrade any ward into a smart ward to enable early detection of “Code blue” situations in a hospital.
Code blue, a medical term for sudden deterioration of a patient in a hospital ward leading to a life-threatening moment. Sleepiz uses smart medical devices and AI-driven algorithms to enable early detection of these events. Doctors and nurses get real-time notification on their phone in case a patient starts to deteriorate.
The device, Sleepiz One+, monitors three key vital signs of a patient – pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, and respiration rate. The data is simultaneously transmitted to a cloud platform, which is collected, evaluated, and shared in real-time 24×7 by the Sleepiz CARE (Cardiorespiratory Evaluators) team with the physician.
Sleepiz AG was founded in 2018 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich by Soumya Dash, Max Sieghold and Marc Rullan.
Using Sleepiz One+, any general bed can be converted into a step-down ICU or HDU (high dependency unit) in a simple and affordable manner. The device helps reduce the burden on hospitals and healthcare personnel by addressing the need for continuous monitoring of vital parameters and data-driven triaging of patients.
