Release date: 2016-06-06

         
Recently, Israel's digital health company EarlySense announced that it has received $25 million in its latest round of financing. The company's product is a non-contact sensor system that can be embedded in a hospital bed. This round of financing was led by Bank Hapoalim, Israel's largest commercial bank, and Pitango Venture Capital and JK&B Capital voted.

In 2004, EarlySense was founded in Israel. Currently, the company's R&D department and R&D equipment are located in Ramat Gan, Israel, and the marketing department is located in Boston, Massachusetts. Two of the company's main product non-contact bed sensor systems have been approved by the US FDA, which are upgraded versions of bed sensors and chair sensors. The sensor can be placed under the patient's mattress and seat cushion to monitor the patient's heart rate, respiratory rate and activity.

The product monitors the condition of patients who are seriously ill and need to be tracked throughout, but who do not want or need physical contact with the monitor. The EarlySense monitoring system performs a big data analysis of the patient's vital signs to understand the patient's health and helps health care workers working in unsupervised wards to keep abreast of the patient's course of disease. At the same time, the use of monitoring systems has increased the efficiency of caregivers and reduced the number of hospital stays in patients in general wards and ICU wards.
                    
 
EarlySense's sensor products can be used in hospitals or homes, hospital equipment solutions are priced at thousands of dollars per bed, and home consumer devices are often in the hundreds of dollars.
