Paramedics, emergency care providers, and intensive care staff
OUR SOLUTION
Our novel Rotating Radial injection pattern combined with deep learning-based image reconstruction and automatic signal calibration, enable reliable imaging across diverse body types. The modular, portable and reusable design allows fast setup, easy hospital integration. We ensure reduced regulatory delays through early clinical partnerships.
THE CHALLENGE
Current EIT systems are bulky, hospital-bound, require full electrode belts and unsuitable for emergency and first aid lung monitoring. We offer a compact, portable, wireless EIT belt for real-time lung assessment in emergency care. Our anterior-electrodes only EIT belt integrate multiple monitoring capabilities and deep learning–based image reconstruction. Key challenges of cross-body-type reliability, hospital system compatibility, and regulatory approval through clinical partnerships are addressed.
