VivoMetrics

VivoMetrics was a pioneer in the field of wearable medical technology, specializing in the continuous and non-invasive monitoring of physiological data. The company's flagship product, the LifeShirt, was a lightweight vest embedded with sensors that tracked respiratory, cardiac, and postural information in ambulatory patients. This platform was extensively used by major pharmaceutical companies to enhance the quality and frequency of data collection during clinical trials for various therapeutic areas. By providing a comprehensive view of a patient's health in their natural environment, VivoMetrics offered insights that were unattainable through traditional clinical assessments. The company's technology was particularly influential in the study of respiratory diseases and sleep disorders. In 2010, VivoMetrics' assets were acquired by Hoana Medical, a company focused on passive patient monitoring.
