Comparative Field Studies

Through Vitalsense field studies we support innovation and evidence-based data collection delivered within the context and lived experiences of remote living.

This study is part of our contribution to informing possibilities in primary health care and the overall wellbeing of individuals living on remote Indigenous communities. By examining diverse approaches to health care delivery and outcomes, field studies provide vital insights into the unique challenges and creative opportunities faced on communities.

As part of this commitment, we support and facilitate field studies on behalf of this third-party group. Acting as intermediaries with Aboriginal Health Organisations, we aim to contribute to an ongoing, informed discussion about the development and refinement of AI-driven testing and diagnostic tools.

By grounding these advancements in robust, community-informed data, we strive to improve health outcomes and promote equitable access to quality care for Indigenous populations.

Together in the Field, Together for Change

Medical-Grade Wearable Technology

Vitalsense is an intelligent solution for Emergency Medicine that can help triage nurses identify patients who need reassessment by providing instantaneous, real-time monitoring of each patient Medical-grade wearable technology

The Vitalsense smart wearable is a medical-grade Photoplethysmography (PPG) monitoring device. It uses a range of sensors, including red, green and infrared PPG sensors to measure volumetric variations and determine real-time vital signs of each patient without the need to use cumbersome monitoring devices or resources

Real-time clinical decision support

Patients heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, temperature, and other vital signs are measured and the system uses an algorithm to track, monitor and determine whether they need to be seen sooner.

Value

Field studies provide metrics reviewed through a combination of quantitative data analysis, qualitative research, stakeholder consultations, and community feedback mechanisms.
