26 Nov Virtue Solutions aims to improve care for elderly through wearable device
A Madison startup is looking to provide unseen protection for the elderly while delivering information on their vital signs to caregivers.
Virtue Solutions has created a wristband the size of a large watch that’s equipped to measure vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, sleep quality, location and fall detection. It’s also tamper proof and water resistant.
“Science tells us that regardless of what you’ve got going on, your ‘fight or flight’ response kicks in, your heart rate goes up. Virtue will sense that and set off an alarm, letting all the caregivers know that either something is wrong or something completely else is happening,” founder Melissa Miller explained.
