What is Caretaker?
Caretaker is the worlds most innovative patient monitor Using only a simple finger cuff to measure Continuous Beat-by-Beat Blood Pressure (“cNIBP”), Heart Rate, and other physiological parameters enabling safe, secure, and accurate remote patient monitoring via our secure Android App, HIPPA-compliant Cloud Portals, or interfaced with other patient monitoring systems.
Caretaker sets a new standard in mobility, simplicity, and cost, enabling continuous realtime monitoring as patients traverse the full continuum of care, within the hospital, during transport, and after discharge.
Why We Built It
Traditionally, accurate cNIBP monitoring has been limited to invasive catheters or expensive complicated machines used only in critical care settings. CareTaker’s low-cost, small, comfortable form factor, and intuitive design brings “ICU Quality” cNIBP capabilities to virtually any setting.
The benefits of gathering blood pressure measurements continuously over a time interval are well documented and significantly better that intermittent “single-point-in-time” blood pressure readings from cumbersome upper arm cuff squeezes, which are susceptible to errors, often yield incorrect results, and can miss underlying hemodynamic problems.
