Bittium Biosignals | GlobalCom PR NetworkBittium showcases its innovative remote monitoring solutions for detecting arrhythmias, monitoring the electrical activity of the heart, measuring the brain activity of intensive care patients, and testing for sleep apnea, as well as engineering services for developing medical and healthcare technology, at the Medica 2023 event. Medica is one of the largest B2B trade fairs in the medical field and attracts more than 80,000 visitors annually. The event is in Düsseldorf, Germany, on 13–16 November 2023.

In the healthcare technology market, significant development is taking place regarding the treatment of patients, especially outside hospitals. There is an increased effort to prevent diseases and health problems with the help of early diagnostics, and the aim is to discharge patients at an earlier stage to reduce hospital and treatment days. These significantly increase the efficiency of healthcare processes, reduce costs, and improve the treatment experience. The prerequisite for the prevention of health problems and early discharge is enabling accurate monitoring and measurement in home conditions by remote monitoring.

At the event, Bittium’s experts will exhibit advanced remote monitoring solutions for detecting arrhythmias, monitoring the electrical activity of the heart, measuring the brain activity of intensive care patients, and testing for sleep apnea. Remote monitoring solutions enable faster diagnosis and further treatment of patients. All of Bittium’s measurement solutions are integrated with the cloud-based back-end systems that enable the analysis of data regardless of location.

Traditional methods of sleep apnea diagnosis involve spending a night in a sleep laboratory for a polysomnography study, making the process inconvenient and costly. The advanced Home Sleep Apnea Test and Analysis Solution Bittium Respiroâ„¢, which will be on display at the event, focuses on night-time polygraphy measurement performed at home. The solution captures and evaluates common instances of sleep-disordered breathing, employing artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency of the analysis process. Bittium Respiroâ„¢ conducts a preliminary analysis of the data collected during the home study, transforming it into a visually informative format. This solution streamlines the clinical team’s workflow for subsequent analysis and diagnosis. Bittium Respiroâ„¢ received CE approval under the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) of the European Union in December 2022 and is one of the first sleep apnea testing devices in Europe to receive this certification.

Bittium’s product development experts are showcasing world-class technology know-how that enables, for example, the development of innovative wireless devices that use the latest technologies and can be used in the areas of healthcare and well-being. Customers benefit from Bittium’s strong expertise and experience in all stages of product development, including versatile know-how of both hardware and software, as well as specialized expertise in wireless connectivity and information security.
