Sensatex will partner with patient monitor manufacturers to
develop a Smart Shirt System that transmits vital signs data
either with or without wire to the vendor’s stationary or
portable monitoring unit(s). This includes retrofitting monitors
already manufactured and sold by the vendor to hospitals,
nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities. By acting
as a single platform for all sensory components, the Shirt
will facilitate the placement of sensors on the patient and
will either entirely eliminate or greatly reduce the number
of wires connecting the patient to the monitor. The sensor
suite for this product will include 3-lead EKG, pulse oximetry
and respiration rate. 209
