Masimo CEO Joe Kiani discussed how the medical device maker's telehealth systems can be useful in the fight against coronavirus.
Masimo, a global medical device maker, markets noninvasive monitoring systems, including pulse oximetry systems that monitor pulse and oxygen levels in patients. The company in March launched a remote patient monitoring system called Masimo SafetyNet that is useful for health-care workers during the deadly Covid-19 outbreak to track patient vitals from a safe distance.
"You could put the patient in the room," he explained, "bring the monitor outside of the room and instead of walking into the room to check on the vital signs of the patient ... you can now remotely monitor the patient" when giving care. "We now have made it possible to send patients outside the hospital including the home, which you're probably the most comfortable in, and allow clinicians to remotely monitor you so that if you get in trouble, like some patients have, they can bring you right in," he said, adding "and if you're fine and recovering, you can be at your home where it's less chance" of spreading and catching disease.
