Adoption of a wireless vital sign monitor for observation of COVID-19 patients

The Neopenda team has developed an affordable wireless vital signs monitor, neoGuard, that continuously measures pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and temperature, providing nurses and clinicians with real-time alerts of patients in distress. From one central monitoring application, the neoGuard technology allows monitoring of up to 15 patients at a time and enables more responsive and effective management of patients in resource-constrained health facilities with critical shortages in health staff.
