SENSOR CHAIR

The chair has built in heart-rate sensors in the armrests that sends patient BPM readings to the monitoring system.
The sensors can be incorporated into most waiting room chair designs, allowing medical practises to customise their space.

MONITORING SYSTEM

The monitoring system displays the readings for medical staff to view and alerts them when a patient may be experiencing deterioration.
Signs of deterioration may be a BPM that is at an unsafe level or if there has been a change in BPM.
