Vital parameter monitoring in harsh environment by the MedSENS in-ear multisensor device
ABSTRACT
Accurate assessment of vital parameters is crucial for diagnosing and prioritizing critically ill patients, especially in out-of-hospital settings where suitable devices may be lacking. We conducted a pilot study to extensively validate a novel in-ear device designed for non-invasive measurement of core body temperature (Tc), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and heart rate (HR) in harsh environments.
The study involved participants being exposed to controlled ambient temperatures of 20 °C, 5 °C, and — 10 °C, in randomized order. The prototype’s measurements were compared with commercial esophageal and tympanic probes for Tc and a finger pulse-oximeter for SpO2 and HR. The device demonstrated reliability in Tc measurements and feasibility in SpO2 and HR monitoring, offering potential support for critically ill patients in harsh out-of-hospital conditions.

Clinical trials and AI-driven healthcare solutions
Clinical trials play a crucial role in developing safe and effective treatments. Our AI-driven platform, DocSym, consolidates ICD-11 standards, clinical protocols, and research into a single, easily accessible knowledge base for clinicians, extending the benefits of clinical trials into everyday medical practice.
In today’s healthcare environment, streamlining operations is essential. Our mobile apps support scheduling, monitoring treatments, and telemedicine, making it easier to manage patient care and expand services digitally. By leveraging AI, clinics can enhance workflows, improve patient outcomes, and reduce paper routines.
