Actual (reported)Continuous vital sign monitoring is a basic tenet of specialized care in the developed world that is vastly underutilized during hospital or clinic admissions or outpatient routine visits in most low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Despite the positive outcomes associated with vital sign monitoring (i.e., increased survival-to-discharge rates, lower complication rates and shorter length of stay in hospital), the prohibitive costs of conventional patient monitors and the difficulty in maintaining complex medical equipment limit its practice in the developing world. Currently, due to lack of medical supplies, most ANC clinics - within the health facilities or during outreach activities - do not monitor for vital signs and blood pressure among pregnant women. While many devices exist, their ease of use and high-cost, including maintenance costs, hinder screening and monitoring programs in low resource settings. Accurate and low-cost vital sign monitoring devices are required to improve identification and treatment of women with danger signs during their routine ANC visits. To meet the growing demand for vital sign monitors during the COVID-19 pandemic, Neopenda has adapted an affordable, wearable, wireless vital sign monitoring solution (neoSpotTM), that measures temperature, respiration rate, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and blood pressure.
