Philips and Masimo have expanded their partnership to boost patient monitoring capabilities for home telehealth applications using the Masimo W1 advanced health tracking watch.
W1 will combine with Philips’ enterprise patient monitoring ecosystem to accomplish the goal. The combined innovation leverages the two firms’ expertise in monitoring, connectivity, and automation.
The Masimo W1 watch features accurate, continuous pulse oximetry measurements and other useful health data. The company’s secure health data cloud helps relay patient info to Philips’ ecosystem for remote clinician surveillance. This way, doctors can more confidently discharge patients knowing vital signs will be tracked, helping them spot potential deterioration sooner and make more informed interventions. It’s currently CE marked and pending FDA clearance.
