The initiative aims to facilitate earlier discharge of patients from hospitals to their homes.

Currently, more than 20 specialities within the hospital actively participate in Cambridge’s virtual programme.

Under the programme, patients are sent to their home with various Masimo products, including MightySat and wearable medical devices such as Radius PPG, Radius Tº, and now the Masimo W1.

These devices enable continuous monitoring and transmission of vital data to clinicians located at the hospital.

Through the Masimo SafetyNet clinician dashboard, hospital staff can easily monitor the patient’s physiological status remotely, enabling patients to remain under observation from the comfort of their own homes.

The usage of Masimo W1 in medical applications in the US is awaiting FDA clearance.

Masimo founder and CEO Joe Kiani said: “Masimo W1 represents not only the future of personal health but is playing a vital role in the expansion of remote healthcare.

“Built on our decades of expertise developing breakthrough non-invasive medical monitoring technologies, Masimo W1 is designed to aid valued hospital partners like Cambridge in accelerating their virtual hospital and telehealth programmes – ultimately helping to improve patient outcomes while reducing the cost of care.

“We are excited for Cambridge clinicians and patients.”
