Advanced sensor technology and data analytics
help improve patient monitoring of vital signs and care delivery in
remote environments
Combination of hardware and software automates
time-consuming and critical tasks for medical personnel, reducing
workloads and potential errors
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON)
announced today it 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 uses
advanced sensing technology to monitor vital signs via a skin
patch, which connects the data instantaneously to healthcare
providers on mobile devices and an online dashboard.
The Association of American Medical Colleges projects there will
be a physician shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 physicians by
2034. Hospital systems and healthcare providers are already
preparing for the clinician shortfall by implementing technologies
and tools to improve efficiency, while still maintaining high
levels of care. Honeywell's real-time health monitoring system
provides doctors and nurses a solution to remotely monitor patients
in the hospital or at home. The system, designed to be continuously
connected to patients, alerts clinicians to changes in patients'
vital signs, and markedly reduces the time required to collect,
analyze and apply patient data as actionable insights.
By automating essential processes, the remote monitoring system
can help reduce clinician workloads and potentially save hours of
error-prone administrative tasks. Across the healthcare industry,
the growing trend of telemedicine and implementing remote patient
monitoring is helping enhance the overall patient experience.
"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."
This technology unlocks the ability to provide care for patients
in the home, at ambulatory care centers or elsewhere outside of
hospital walls. By bringing vital sign monitoring closer to where
patients live, patients can receive care in their own environments,
hospital readmissions can be reduced and beds can be freed up for
those requiring in-person attention. Honeywell's system will also
help improve patient quality of life and satisfaction, an often
overlooked benefit of remote monitoring. The ability to have vitals
monitored in real time, regardless of where patients are, provides
greater freedom and flexibility without needing to make regular
trips to the hospital or being tethered to a hospital bed.
The healthcare industry is continuously evolving to maintain
environments where clinicians can deliver high-quality care to
patients. The real-time health monitoring system is part of
Honeywell's robust portfolio of healthcare
technologies that drive better patient outcomes.
