CIMIT, ST + D Introduce Prototype
of Monitoring Device

10.27.08 - CIMIT and Sensor Technology + Devices recently reached a major milestone in their promising relationship: ST + D officials have transferred to CIMIT a prototype of a miniaturized, wearable wireless device that could monitor vital signs of patients in traditionally unmonitored low-acuity settings such as hospital waiting rooms or even in homes.

ST + D is a Belfast spin-out of the University of Ulster that has experience in developing medical sensors and wireless systems to monitor a patient’s vital signs, and is collaborating with a team of CIMIT investigators, led by Dr. Nat Sims, of Massachusetts General Hospital, an internationally recognized developer of medical devices.
