The new BioButton Rechargeable device allows for continuous multi-parameter monitoring of a broad range of 20+ vital signs and physiologic biometrics for up to 30 days on a single charge. The device’s comprehensive set of leading indicators allows for the early identification and detection of adverse trends to improve patient monitoring safety and efficacy from in the hospital to the home.

Deliberative : I believe in being deliberate and intentional, this way I am able to anticipate obstacles and overcome them. I am not afraid to act or apply quick judgment to situations.

The Super Team

Brandon – Belief: Crucial for evaluating the usefulness of the medical device and its benefits to improving patient care.

Pablo – Positivity: A positive mind is needed to embrace newer technology and its usefulness to patient care. The world is changing, and we have to accept the new technologies that is coming up.

Carter – Communication: This is crucial in conveying the message of the usefulness, efficacy and effectiveness of the medical device.

Chloe – Competition: According to QSEN, quality patient care is an evolving care, as we always look for a better way of doing or providing excellent care. This medical device is one of the evolving technology to use to monitor and keep patient safe.

Cindy – Connectedness: A connected strength is needed to connect this pieces of this project together t make a meaningful whole for better understanding.

Reduce burnout, empower clinicians

Reduced need for manual vital sign collection¹

Decreased manual documentation time¹

Clinically actionable notifications without alarm fatigue²

Improve patient satisfaction

Fewer nighttime spot checks that wake patients³

Eliminating the need to disconnect from a bedside monitor for certain parameters

Improve outcomes in hospital

Using continuous wearable remote patient monitoring on the medical-surgical floor can enable earlier intervention through earlier identification of adverse patient physiologic trends, which can lead to:

Reduce readmission

Reduce hospital length of stay

Fewer rapid response team activations

Decrease in complication rates

Improve outcomes at home

Remote monitoring of patients once they are discharged can help clinicians address and treat issues quickly, which may:

Reduce mortality

Reduce unplanned readmissions, especially on patients with chronic illness such as COPD or CHF

Cost: Although the BioButton is an effective patient monitoring device, it is a cost added to the patient overall stay in the hospital and some may not be able to afford it at home.

Skin Integrity: Some patient may not be able to use this device as a result of their skin or disease process. e.g. , a patient who suffers from severe lymphedema and sweat often.

Medial intervention/ testing: This device can interrupt other medical intervention or imaging like MRI, therefore it has to be taken off before an MRI.

The essential reason for the BioButton is to monitor patient vital signs remotely like temperature, heart rate, respirations, e.tc. So that any abnormal numbers can be caught and acted upon. This will increase patient care and care interventions.

For staff, it will limit the frequent visits to patient room and allow for other patient care to be attended to without missing out on abnormal vital signs from the patient.
