SSM Multispeciality Hospital, a leading hospital in Hassan district of Karnataka, has partnered with LifeSigns, a healthtech startup which offers continuous remote patient monitoring solution provider. LifeSigns brings advanced wireless patient monitoring to SSM Hospital by deploying its wearable wireless biosensor for continuous monitoring of patient vitals. The partnership was formally unveiled at an event held at SSM Hospital on January 3, 2024.

The solution from LifeSigns captures, records, and transmits crucial parameters such as ECG, Pulse Rate, temperature, heart rate, posture, blood pressure, and SPo2. This marks a historic moment for healthcare innovation in Hassan, Karnataka, as this is introduced for the first time in the region where patients will be monitored anytime & anywhere.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr Vinayak Narayan, CEO, SSM Hospital, said, “The primary goal behind introducing this is to improve patient experience, enhance patient care and satisfaction. Whenever a patient's condition deteriorates, it gives an early warning to the doctors and nurses to address the patient's condition well in advance and save lives. Over the years, SSM Hospital has been known for introducing technologically advanced medical facilities with an extensive focus on affordability and quality of care. This partnership is a step in that direction. We look forward to introducing many more such offerings to the people of Hassan.”

Dr Girish Chandra, Co-Founder & Director, LifeSigns said, "The key advantage lies in the early detection of warning signs, paving the way for timely interventions and improved patient care. This collaboration will represent a significant leap towards a more connected and technologically advanced healthcare system in Hassan that is accessible to all".
