RhealSense is developing a wearable patch and companion app that continuously monitor a new mother's vital signs after birth. We flag the subtle changes that precede postpartum hemorrhage, so help can arrive in time.
Postpartum hemorrhage escalates quickly and is often noticed too late, especially once mothers leave the hospital. RhealSense focuses on the physiological signals that change first.
A small adhesive patch tracks heart rate and blood-oxygen saturation in real time, throughout the critical postpartum window. Not just at vitals checks.
Subtle shifts in HR and SpO₂ appear before visible symptoms. Catching them buys time to seek care or escalate to a clinician.
The companion app shows live readings and trends at home. Mothers and caregivers stay informed, without a tangle of hospital wires.
The patch uses medical-grade pulse oximetry to read heart rate and blood-oxygen saturation continuously. Light passes through the skin and the device measures how it changes with each heartbeat.
Readings stream to the RhealSense companion app on a phone, where mothers and family can see trends at a glance. The patch is small, comfortable, and designed to be worn through everyday routines at home.
Learn more about how it worksA soft, adhesive patch sits comfortably on the skin and reads vitals continuously through the postpartum window.
Medical-grade pulse oximetry captures heart rate and blood-oxygen saturation many times per second.
The companion app watches for the physiological shifts that often precede severe hemorrhage.
If something looks off, the app raises the alarm right away. Time matters, and we don't want to waste it.
