The SMArT VIEW, CoVeRed: TecHnology Enabled monitoring and Self-MAnagemenT – Vision for patient EmpoWerment following Cardiac and VasculaR surgery

Thousands of seniors in Canada and United Kingdom have cardiac and vascular surgeries each year. Once patients are out of intensive care and on the hospital ward, their vital signs are only checked every 4 hours. Consequently, we miss thousands of cases wherein patients’ vital signs deteriorate, leading to heart attack, stroke and other events. SMArTVIEW is designed so that vital signs can be monitored in hospital continuously, and at home with wireless automatic technology. SMArTVIEW also links seniors directly with nurses from the hospital so they can be supported while recovering at home.
