The EverOn antenna puts an around-the-clock nurse near every hospital patient. Nurses typically confirm heart-rate and breath-analysis monitors of stable patients only every four hours, so a fall off in health can go unnoticed in that time.
Placed under a patient's mattress, the EverOn mat detects every heartbeat and breath, which it then transmits to a nurse's innermost computer so that worsening trends can be identified as they develop.
Hospitals that tested the equipment reported a 60 percent drop in patients who needed to be transferred to rigorous care, and the ordinary hospital stay dropped by half a day. $7,000; eariysense.com
