About The Company
Biobeat was established in 2014, and it is an Israeli developer of advanced wearable AI-powered Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions for hospitals, long-term care and pharma/CRO drug development and clinical trials.
Biobeat’s patient monitors (wearable wrist and chest monitors), adopted by healthcare facilities globally, perpetually collect patient health data – 128 data points per second and more than 150 million individual data points per day. This assists the health team by providing a real-time, accurate view of patient status. These solutions use AI, Big Data and patient analysis to support health teams in providing optimal care to patients while reducing the risks of infectious viral exposure from in-person-spot-checks.
Motivation To Start The Company
The CEO and co-founder of Biobeat, Arik Ben Ishay, is a volunteer paramedic with MDA, Israel’s National Emergency Pre-Hospital Medical and Blood Services Organisation. He also served as a paramedic for one of the Israeli Defense Force’s active combat units at the time of the Israel-Gaza conflict (also referred to as Operation Protection Edge) in 2014.
In a heated clash, 32 soldiers were injured and required instant medical attention; Arik moved from a soldier to another. The struggles he encountered while monitoring their vital signs as there was no field-ready monitoring equipment available at the time made him partnered with Israel and Johanan (VP R&D and CTO, respectively) to co-found Bioteat. It provides state-of-the-art patient monitoring solutions to health continuum.
With Israel’s expert knowledge of reflective photoplethysmography (PPG) technology, Biobeat immediately graduated from being garage solutions into a provider of hospital grade remote patient monitoring solutions.
Impact on Users
Undoubtedly, the AI-powered wearable remote patient monitory solution can be adopted in all aspects of healthcare, but it can mainly be implemented within the hospitals’ confines and long-care settings, coupled with clinical/pharma research purposes.
Biobeat specialized system’s real-time patient health data greatly supports healthcare providers and medical staff with instant actionable patient insights. This ensures the application of the right care at the right time for better patient outcomes.
The solution, Biobeat, has designed a single wearable, wireless, non-invasive sensor – a write or chest-monitor, based on the principles of reflective photoplethysmography (PPG) technology. This collectively measures indices, including blood pressure, blood saturation, one lead ECG (chest-monitor only), respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure, heart rate variability, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance, sweat and movement.
The solutions also offer an AI cloud-based patient management system that provides real-time data and alerts for the medical staff. These data enable early identification of clinical deterioration, which in turn assist in prioritizing patient care.
Biobeat sensors collect millions of data-points per patient each day. These data are then analyzed by the solution’s AI and machine learning algorithms to provide insights on patient care.
Biobeat’s medical tools and patient management system were developed entirely by the founders and the development team.
