I had a 50-50 chance of survival, and things were not looking great. I had six months,” notes Hari, adding that by September 2010, radiation, chemotherapies, and surgery followed.

The doctors hoped that the aggressive treatment strategy would be enough”, said Hari Subramaniam, founder of LifeSigns. “There are so many different reports and different doctors.

Additionally, there are so many devices that a patient is hooked up to during the hospital stay, each translating the patient’s vitals and giving its own data.

What if the system could be automated so that all the data could be brought to a single space?” thought Hari during one of his chemotherapy sessions.

If intelligence was added to the data, it could give alerts and intimations when the patient’s vitals weren’t looking good, and suggest what could be done. LifeSigns iMS, the biosensor, monitor vital signs in near real-time, enabling clinicians to maximize treatment.

The product is designed for usage in various settings — including hospital monitoring, post-discharge care, cardiac monitoring, and pharmaceutical solutions.

He claims that in the future when continuous vital signs data from the LifeSigns patches are combined with blood results from the EMR along with analytics, it will soon be able to predict patient deterioration before it happens.

“Having been a patient myself and spending weeks in hospital beds, getting out of the bed and walking used to be a great blessing. And this device gives patients that freedom from wires and the mobility they need.

I was a patient once, and I understand how amazing this is”, mentioned Hari.
