Accurate, real time, critical respiratory rate data.

Revolutionising Respiratory Outcomes

by #MakingEveryBreathCount

RespiraSense transforms the measurement of a patient’s Respiratory Rate with continuous, innovative, technology monitoring – improving the measurement and identification of deterioration, in a real-time manner to help save lives.

RespiraSense Continuous Respiratory Rate Monitoring gives medical professionals the confidence to know that future escalations in care can be prevented due to the continuous and non-invasive monitoring of patients’ respiratory rate while maintaining minimal patient contact.

The RespiraSense sensor is an innovative, discrete wearable device ideally designed for COVID-19 patients who are at risk of adverse events. RespiraSense can monitor symptoms of COVID-19 such as shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. The remote monitoring of patients respiratory rate allows medical professionals to develop more accurate early warning scores all the while protecting hospital staff, allowing minimal contact, saving on PPE.

  • Respiratory rate > 27 BPM (Breaths per minute) is the most important predictor of Cardiac Arrest
  • 50% of patients with RR > 24 BPM suffer a serious adverse event
  • 21% of patients with 25 < RR< 29 BPM died
More About Respiratory Failure

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection in lower respiratory tract. Respiratory techniques are commonly used to aid airway clearance and improve the rate of breathing. By using RespiraSense Continuous Respiratory Rate Monitoring allows medical professionals the confidence to know their patients progress. Any escalations in care can be prevented due to the continuous and non-invasive monitoring of the patients breathing preventing respiratory failure.

  • Respiratory rate > 20 Breaths Per Minute (BPM) is the most important predictor of Cardiac Arrest
  • 50% of patients with RR > 24 BPM suffer serious adverse events
  • 21% of patients with 25 < RR> 29 BPM died
More About Respiratory Failure

COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the name of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease where patients experience breathing difficulties. If a patient has COPD, the airways of their lungs become inflamed and narrowed. COPD is one of the most common causes of hospitalisation. As air sacs become permanently damaged, it will become increasingly difficult to breathe in and out.

By using RespiraSense Continuous Respiratory Rate Monitoring allows medical professionals the confidence to know their patients progress. Any escalations in care can be prevented due to the continuous and non-invasive monitoring of the patients breathing preventing respiratory failure.

  • Respiratory rate > 20 Breaths Per Minute (BPM) is the most important predictor of Cardiac Arrest
  • 50% of patients with RR > 24 BPM suffer serious adverse events
  • 21% of patients with 25 < RR> 29 BPM died
More About Respiratory Failure

Surgical

Surgical procedures involving general or epidural anaesthetic can affect the patients breathing. Respiratory depression or failure can occur after a surgical procedure[5]., with RespiraSense’s continuous and motion tolerant monitoring of respiratory rate (cRR) can trigger timely and meaningful interventions 12 hours before the deterioration event

  • Respiratory rate > 20 Breaths Per Minute (BPM) is the most important predictor of Cardiac Arrest
  • 50% of patients with RR > 24 BPM suffer serious adverse events
  • 21% of patients with 25 < RR> 29 BPM died [3]

Accurate, real-time critical respiratory rate data

SEPSIS

Sepsis is associated with 1 in 5 deaths globally. Lower respiratory infection is the most common underlying cause of sepsis-related complications and death.
In 2017, 48.9 million cases of sepsis in 2017 and 11.0 million deaths. Two of every three cases occurred in patients with an underlying infectious condition; the remaining cases occurred in individuals with underlying injures or non-communicable diseases[4].

  • RR increases in advance of significant clinical events
  • Increased RR has a positive correlation to clinical invents of desaturation (<92%) and pyrexia (>38%)[2]
  • These increases were not detected by contemporaneous manual respiratory rate measurements
