Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the US, affecting nearly 800,000 people annually with devastating consequences.
Patients arriving at emergency rooms within 3 hours of first symptoms have significantly better outcomes, yet most don't receive timely care.
OSU's Wexner Medical Center approached us to develop a solution that would improve survival rates through continuous monitoring and swift emergency response.
140,000 deaths annually (1 in 20 deaths)
90% of patients experience stroke for the first time
$34 billion annual government spending on stroke care
Reduced mobility in most patients over 65, requiring long-term care
An intelligent wearable solution that monitors hand movements to improve stroke patient outcomes.
Our research revealed that hand movements provide clear indicators of stroke patients' condition. We developed a novel wearable solution that:
Monitors hand movements with intelligent tracking that distinguishes meaningful movements
Triggers alerts if no movement is detected for 10 minutes
Records historical data for month-long analysis and transfer
Advanced algorithms distinguish meaningful hand movements from incidental motions like typing or slight adjustments.
Records and stores a month's worth of movement data for analysis and transfer to paired devices.
Vibrates and displays notifications every 10 minutes if minimal/no movement is detected, with customizable settings.
How our wearable IoT solution grew to meet expanding healthcare needs
Smart-watch only application to monitor hand movements of 30 patients
Phase 1Expanded to 1,500 patients across multiple hospitals with improved analytics
Phase 2Added mobile application for enhanced data visualization and provider dashboards
Phase 3Comprehensive platform adopted by 100+ hospitals with predictive analytics
TodayMeasurable impact on patient outcomes and healthcare delivery
Our solution delivered significant benefits to both patients and healthcare providers:
93% improvement in timely response to patients' needs
Increased patient confidence during recovery phases
Enhanced provider insights through historical data and dashboards
Predictive capabilities for proactive patient care
