One of the world's top cardiologists calls the ViSi Mobile® Patient Monitoring System "the Control -- Alt -- Delete of Medicine". "This is unparalleled," says Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and member of the board of directors for Sotera Wireless, Inc., the San Diego-based company that developed the device.

The Visi system allows for continuous monitoring without the need to disturb patients, frees up space in critical care rooms normally allocated with large equipment systems, and provides ED physicians with patient's vital prior to hospital arrival when used in the field by EMS

The system also monitors patient position, and is highly effective in detecting a sudden change in position or impact due to a fall.

These sensors allow for continuous monitoring of blood pressure, oxygen saturation, cardiac rhythm, temperature, and positional status (e.g. prone, sitting, standing). The information can be accessed wirelessly by any provider from a mobile phone or the home monitoring station in the unit.

Impressive results from the use of ViSi Mobile System at Johns Hopkins have been published in AAMI's January/February 2017 BI&T. The article, titled Continuous Monitoring of Patient Vital Signs to Reduce 'Failure-to-Rescue' Events, presents surveillance monitoring as an opportunity for hospitals to improve patient care, demonstrate compliance with the National Patient Safety Goal for alarm management and increase patient satisfaction.

The Visi system, though much improved from current monitoring technology, still requires 3 small attachments touching the patient. This could possibly remain bothersome for certain patient scenarios (e.g. altered mentation).

The Visi Mobile system is water proof and scratch proof, allowing patients to move more freely with the device. The device is easily cleaned with antiseptic wipes and ready for the next patient.

As an ER nurse, the Visi monitoring system would prove valuable within and outside of the emergency room. Monitoring the status of both incoming and current patients would be helpful in the overall care and the timely onset of emergent interventions.
