The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is a wearable device and paired mobile and cloud-based software platform intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals or researchers to remotely monitor physiologic parameters in ambulatory individuals 18 years of age and older in home-healthcare environments.
The device supports continuous data collection for monitoring the following physiological parameters:
• Peripheral skin temperature,
• Electrodermal activity,
• Blood Oxygen Saturation under no motion conditions,
• Activity associated with movement during sleep.
The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform can be used to analyze circadian rhythms and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable.
The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is not intended for SpO2 monitoring in conditions of motion or low perfusion.
The Empatica Health Monitoring Platform is intended for peripheral skin temperature monitoring, where monitoring temperature at the wrist is clinically indicated.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
