Eupnea monitors patient breathing

Wireless, individual, and mobile. Secure and real-time readings

Eupnea is developed by a Norwegian team of healthcare professionals and innovators in sensor technology and data communication. A small wireless sensor is attached to the patient and transmits measurement data over 5G to the cloud without the need for local equipment or Bluetooth.

Why?

Changes in respiratory pattern and rate is the most reliable early indicator if a patient's health is deteriorating. Recognizing these changes gives a head start that can prevent serious incidents, such as cardiac arrest or emergency admission. Yet, respiration is still recorded manually. During a busy shift, other tasks often take priority, and manual measurements are approximate and infrequent.

How?

Eupnea’s wireless sensor is easily attached to the patient's chest. The sensor is comfortable to wear and avoids cables and battery replacements. Respiration is measured continuously, reliably, and securely, with the data encrypted and anonymized, sent to a Norwegian cloud-based data center that runs the platform. Healthcare personnel can view the data through the platform and receive alerts for critical changes.

Where?

The patient

The sensor follows the patient and is designed for maximum comfort and mobility. The platform secures and anonymizes all health data. Eupnea eliminates manual errors and omissions. Most importantly, detecting early changes in the patient contributes to optimal treatment and can save lives.

The nurse

When Eupnea takes over time-consuming respiratory monitoring, healthcare personnel can focus on other important tasks, reducing workload.

Hospital

Haraldsplass Deaconess Hospital currently has digital monitoring of all other vital signs except for respiration, which is still counted manually. Respiration is the vital parameter that changes the fastest during disease progression, yet it is currently monitored manually. The sensor and system will therefore replace a manual task for nurses, free up capacity, and enhance patient safety at the hospital.

Feedback

Recognized by leading professionals in the healthcare sector

That’s a sensor I want in my hospital.

Eupnea has found a solution that addresses a real clinical need, and does so in a way that makes sense in the everyday workflow of healthcare professionals. As an anesthesiologist, I see the value of detecting respiratory changes early – and the potential this holds for patient safety across the entire healthcare system. When the healthcare service is involved early, we get solutions that actually work in practice.

Torbjørn Nedrebø
Department Chief and Director of Research

We want to take part in developing the healthcare system – the societal challenges are significant, and that’s why we need to bring in strong contributors, including start-ups with great ideas.

Kjerstin Fyllingen
CEO

Eupnea’s sensor demonstrates how clinical needs can be solved through technology. This is the kind of innovation that fits the healthcare system of the future, where fewer healthcare workers will be available to monitor each patient.
