In-Hospital Safety & Monitoring

General Wards Continuous Patient Monitoring

Transforming General Wards with Medical-Grade Wearables for Early Deterioration Detection and Automated Early Warning Scores (EWS)

The Clinical Challenge

Addressing the Intermittent Monitoring Gap in General Wards

Traditional general ward protocols rely on manual spot-checks every 4 to 6 hours. Physiological deterioration occurring between these rounds often goes unnoticed until critical escalation is required.

Continuous Protection

Continuous Multi-Parameter Wearable Platform

Corsano CardioWatch 287 provides high-frequency vital signs tracking in a light, showerproof wristband—offering ICU-grade visibility with general-ward mobility.

HR

Heart Rate & Rhythm

Continuous PPG optical sensing and single-lead ECG strip generation for accurate detection of tachycardia, bradycardia, and cardiac arrhythmias.

RR

Continuous Respiratory Rate

Validated algorithms detect subtle changes in breathing patterns—the early indicator of respiratory distress and sepsis.

SpO₂

Oxygen Saturation

Real-time pulse oximetry monitoring to detect post-anesthesia hypoxemia and respiratory deterioration without uncomfortable clips.

Skin & Core Temperature

Continuous thermal trends assist in early detection of post-operative infection, fever spikes, and onset of systemic inflammation.

Act

Activity & Posture Tracking

3-axis accelerometer tracks patient mobilization, bed rest, fall detection, and postoperative physical rehabilitation progress.

EWS

Automated Early Warning Scores

Automated NEWS2 / MEWS score calculation streamed directly into hospital dashboards and EMR interfaces to reduce nurse alarm fatigue.

Seamless Integration

5-Step Ward Deployment Workflow

Designed for busy clinical environments, Corsano CardioWatch enables rapid patient onboarding without complex configuration or wired clutter.

Frequently Asked Questions for Hospital Procurement & Clinical Teams

In traditional general wards, vital signs are checked manually every 4 to 6 hours. This leaves patients unmonitored for up to 96% of their stay. Continuous monitoring captures real-time physiological trends between nursing rounds, enabling early detection of patient deterioration hours before a critical event occurs.

The Corsano CardioWatch 287 measures up to 19 vital parameters continuously, including heart rate, respiration rate, SpO2, core body temperature estimation, activity, posture, single-lead ECG rhythm strips, and heart rate variability (HRV).

Corsano offers fully documented REST APIs and mobile SDKs that allow patient data and calculated Early Warning Scores (EWS) to stream automatically into electronic medical record systems, nurse dashboards, and central monitoring stations.

Yes. Corsano Health is an ISO 13485 certified medical device manufacturer. The CardioWatch platform is CE-MDR certified in Europe and FDA 510(k) cleared in the United States, validated against medical gold standards.

The CardioWatch 287 features an ultra-low-power design capable of multi-day continuous sensing on a single charge. Recharging takes minimal time, ensuring continuous patient compliance from ward admission through post-discharge recovery.
