A Valencian startup, led by a team of five young engineers, biochemics and pediatricians, has so far developed a pioneer monitoring of biotechnology of babies and children that do not exist on the health market. This is Liip Smart Monitor, the world’s first smart bracelet that is in real time and precisely able to understand and send information about the health status of the little ones.
This device It measures the most important vital constants such as heart rate, blood and temperature oxygen saturationParents help in identifying any deviation via the mobile or tablet. The added value is that the pediatricians offer objective, individualized and effective data for the monitoring of their patients, who promote and accelerate the diagnosis and shorten aid times.
This monitor detects arithmias, tachycardia and bradycardia that can have its origins in various known or not, is a result of viral or bacterial infections such as meningitis and shows complications of these infectious processes. It also benefits pediatric neurology against complications that are so frequent and unpredictable as febial convulsions and epileptic crises that cause consequences, and in the detection of unexpected situations that entailed a cardiespiratory arrest (sudden death, stifling by externne agent …).
Bronchiolitis, who affects more than 100,000 children every year, and generally breathing problems such as pneumonia, laryngitis, asthma, pertusoid cough and sleeping changes … are other LIIP smart monitor applications. They also emphasize the benefits of their use in patients with neuromuscular diseases, cerebral palsy and premature babies of children (who are 8% of annual births) because they are very sensitive to the suffering of pathologies with greater prevalence than others.
From healing to prevention
The Confundadores are five young entrepreneurs who made the market of portable technologies on the health sector three years ago to improve the quality of people’s life. And specifically, babies since their first 1000 days are the key to their physiological development.
According to David Güémez, spokesperson for the LIIP team, “has been our goal to unite our knowledge to make the leap to the medicine of the future. That is, from healing to prevention, in which precision, adaptation and use of the most advanced technology may never have been a diagnostic, therapeutic and prestive power.”
They intervened in the research and development process; E-Health, the Institute of Industrial Automatic and Informatics of the UPV (AI2), the children’s gene led by Gonzalo Pin, National Reference and Dr. Sergio Negre Policarpo in the Quirónsalud Valencia Hospital. It also has the recognition of leading gynecological, such as Vicente Diago, head of the Obstetrics section of the University and Polytechnic Hospital La Fe, José Luís Micó, Natalia Ibañez or José Vicente Martí Tarazona who have supported the project.
Custom information for parents and pediatricians
The LIIP Smart Monitor bracelet, which many families throughout Spain are already benefiting after their recent launch, is only on the left of babies and from the first year on the left wrist. Thanks to one Operation autonomy of a maximum of 14 hours In a row it makes it possible to send such complete information about the health of the baby that offers an unknown value so far.
The monitor contains sensors and state -from the -Art software that uses mathematical models that are able to understand and catalog the health status of the little ones with a reliability that has not been able to implement a market model.
The software system Contains two applications that receive the data that the sensors record. A available to parents, Liip Care For mobile or tabletwho visualizes and warns the health status of the baby on the basis of three situations: normality (“everything goes well”), acute or critical situation. In the latter case, he sends a sound warning and a state message “Act”. By pressing this button, Liip Care leads an emergency protocol and an 112 -call button.
The other application, including a pioneer, is Liip Pediatras, to which they only have access. With her, Pediatricians can adjust for a certain period (even a specific minute) to observe the evolution of their patient. This can detect whether you present a pathological or physiological process and quickly recognize your typology, and in the case of treatment to know the reaction to it.
