The rechargeable sensor enables continuous data capture even during sleep, in order to assess night-time recovery. Additional features to the medical wearable data platform include a new temperature sensor that offers a 21-day rechargeable battery, extended bluetooth range, and onboard memory to address intermittent network disconnections.

With the new addition, VivaLNK’s platform can now capture ECG rhythm, heart rate, respiratory rate, axillary temperature, SpO2, and accelerometer data all wirelessly from virtually any location in the world.

Jiang Li, CEO at VivaLNK, said: “Our goal has been to replace traditional expensive, wired vitals monitors with lower cost and easy to deploy wearable sensors. With the new sensor, we are now well on our way to achieving that vision, thereby helping to make healthcare accessible anywhere in the world.”
