real-time, remote  monitoring patch
perfect for leak sensing and wound management

Healthcare

The BeFC digital healthcare patch improves patient outcomes via a non-invasive monitoring technology that is comfortable, safe, and interoperable. The flat, compact patch can be worn by everyone from infants to the elderly. Based on a disruptive energy source and revolutionary printed electronics, the patch can be used to remotely follow vital signs including ECG, pH, glucose, sodium and more, as well as monitor patients on-site (geofencing).

A cost-effective, single-use, monitoring patch suitable for mass-market applications

Reduce practioner workloads.
Optimise treatment protocols.
Improve patient outcomes.

The benefits of this game-changing  technology are significant. The automatization of healthcare protocols, using sensors that not only detect, but communicate data remotely, benefit patients, medical practitioners and healthcare providers alike – increasing patient engagement and decreasing practionner workload and healthcare costs. Remote wound sensing is now possible through the possibility of a “connected-bandage”, a dressing that will relay key medical variables communicating key changes to wound healing status. The patch can even be used to monitor the location of patients at risk, in real-time. And it can do all of this sustainably.

A healthcare multi-tool
Exploit a wide choice of physiological variables and communication parameters
Powered by a printed paper biofuel-cell, activated by a drop of liquid (including bodily fluids), the smart patch
is perfectly positioned for managing leak sensing applications. The capability to analyse multiple medical variables simultaneously postions the product to a wide range of medical and sports applications.

The result of a disruptive manufacturing process this sustainable, single-use monitoring patch is suitable for mass-market applications and can communicate data from a cm to km range.

Spanning the four pillars of
digital healthcare

Disease prevention: facilitate the management of chronic diseases including diabetes, wound care and metabolic disorders
Early diagnosis: analysis of specific, multiple variables to identify disease onset
Remote healthcare : Exploiting telemetry-based wearables/dressings and more to monitor and manage chronic conditions
Health equity: Leverage cutting-edge technology to open up access to healthcare to underserved or difficult to access territories

Improving healthcare through real-time monitoring

TEMPERATURE

Monitor temperature data critical to patient welfare.

PH

PH analysis: Monitor acidity - a key indicative parameter for wound healing.

Glucose

Diabetes indicator: Glucose levels range from 1.1–5.9 mM for healing. Monitor blood glucose concentration. 

Sodium

Analysis of Sodium indicates wound healing status (open or closed wound).

MOISTURE

Monitor moisture: Generate important data on wound moisture and track wound healing properties
