Here are wearables that use pulmonary artery sensors:

  1. CardioMEMS HF System
    The CardioMEMS HF System is an implantable sensor used to monitor pulmonary artery pressure in patients with heart failure. The system consists of a small, wireless sensor that is implanted in the pulmonary artery to continuously track pressure levels. This wearable device helps healthcare providers monitor changes in the patient’s heart function, providing early detection of potential health issues and enabling proactive management of heart failure.

  2. Abbott’s CardioMEMS Heart Sensor
    Abbott’s CardioMEMS Heart Sensor is a wireless pulmonary artery sensor designed to monitor pressure and provide real-time data for patients with congestive heart failure. Implanted in the pulmonary artery, the sensor transmits data to a remote monitoring system, allowing doctors to track changes in heart function and adjust treatment plans accordingly. This wearable technology improves patient outcomes by detecting early signs of heart failure and reducing hospital readmission rates.

  3. Viva Health Pulse Sensor
    The Viva Health Pulse Sensor is a wearable medical device designed for continuous monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure in patients with chronic heart conditions. By providing real-time data, the sensor enables physicians to assess cardiovascular health remotely. This wearable technology aims to reduce hospital visits by providing timely insights into the patient’s condition, improving overall heart disease management.

  4. Sensible Medical’s WISE-PAS
    Sensible Medical’s WISE-PAS is a wearable pulmonary artery pressure sensor system used to monitor patients with heart failure. It features a non-invasive patch that continuously measures pressure in the pulmonary artery and sends data to healthcare professionals for assessment. The system helps doctors detect early signs of worsening heart failure, allowing for adjustments to medications and treatment plans before the condition worsens.

  5. Biotronik’s HeartGuide
    Biotronik’s HeartGuide is a wearable blood pressure monitor with integrated pulmonary artery pressure sensors. This device is primarily used for patients with heart failure, enabling physicians to track cardiovascular health remotely. The data collected from the device can alert healthcare providers to potential complications, facilitating timely interventions and reducing the risk of hospitalizations related to heart failure.

  6. Medtronic’s Micra AV
    The Medtronic Micra AV is a small, implantable device designed for patients with heart failure and arrhythmias. It includes sensors that monitor pulmonary artery pressure and heart activity, allowing for continuous monitoring. This wearable device aids in the management of heart failure by providing real-time data that helps physicians adjust treatment to prevent worsening conditions.

  7. Acuity Analytics’ PAS-01
    The PAS-01 by Acuity Analytics is a wearable sensor designed to continuously measure pulmonary artery pressure in patients with heart disease. The sensor provides real-time, wireless data that is transmitted to healthcare professionals for monitoring and analysis. With this wearable, doctors can make informed decisions regarding treatment and interventions, ensuring better outcomes for patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions.

These wearables using pulmonary artery sensors provide continuous, real-time monitoring of heart and lung function, especially for patients with heart failure. By offering early detection of changes in pulmonary artery pressure, these devices help healthcare providers adjust treatment plans proactively and reduce the risk of hospital readmissions or complications.

Yes. These days, devices like the CardioMEMS HF System are representative. They implant a small sensor in the pulmonary artery to measure pressure in real time, and the data is immediately transmitted remotely, allowing doctors to monitor the patient’s condition. This allows them to quickly detect signs of worsening heart failure and reduce the risk of hospitalization.

Yes, there are. Sensible Medical’s WISE-PAS is a non-invasive patch that attaches to the skin. It continuously measures pulmonary artery pressure and transmits the data to doctors, allowing them to monitor their condition without visiting the hospital and adjust medications or treatment plans in advance.

Almost certainly. Devices like the Viva Health Pulse Sensor measure pulmonary artery pressure in real time, allowing doctors to check the condition immediately. Because we can take preventative measures before the condition worsens, we can significantly reduce unnecessary hospital visits and readmissions.
