What We Do
A breakthrough wearable device that provides continuous, non-invasive monitoring of respiratory function using AI and ergonomic design. It is FDA-cleared for use in hospital, ambulatory, and clinical research settings, supporting early detection of respiratory compromise and opioid-induced respiratory depression. The system includes the RTMpod (main electronics device), RTMwear (disposable carrier), RTMpack (rechargeable battery), and RTMhub (monitoring and charging hub).
A device designed for real-time, continuous monitoring of cardiovascular health, utilizing proprietary sensors and diagnostic algorithms to assess an ambulatory person’s health status in real-time. Includes multi-user patient monitoring services with digital access for remote monitoring and notifications. The system features a long-term, outpatient-patient-implantable blood pressure sensor that accurately and continuously measures the entire arterial blood pressure waveform and electrocardiogram. Sensor data feeds predictive algorithms to improve diagnostics and medication dosing related to hypertension and other cardiac issues, ultimately leading to prediction and prevention of adverse cardiac events. The prototype has been tested in-vivo and in-vitro, and RTM holds 13 issued patents covering the device and its functionality.
A product focused on monitoring ventilation acoustically, supporting comprehensive respiratory assessment.
A wearable device designed to monitor fitness parameters, including minute ventilation, supporting athletes and the general public in tracking and improving their respiratory fitness and endurance. It enables real-time monitoring of minute ventilation (MV), a critical parameter for fitness and endurance, filling a gap in the market for wearable products that can track both respiratory rate and tidal volume during daily activities, exercise, and sleep.
A solution for displaying and analyzing vital sign data, supporting diagnostic decision-making through advanced algorithms and user-friendly interfaces.
