Thursday, July 21, 2022

TORONTO, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Xandar Kardian, a rapidly-growing, Toronto-based company that develops contactless health monitoring solutions powered by digital ultra wide-band radar signal processing, today officially announced a strategic partnership with TapestryHealth, a multi-specialty healthcare practice that utilizes advanced technology to provide face-to-face evaluation and treatment at the patient's bedside in skilled nursing facilities and other post-acute environments. The partnership between Xandar Kardian and TapestryHealth focuses on leveraging Xandar Kardian's revolutionary radar-centric technology to support specialized remote patient monitoring for skilled nursing facilities, using autonomous and continuous vital sign management. Recently, results from a pilot program deploying Xandar Kardian's UWB radar devices at a skilled nursing facility showcased a groundbreaking discovery for patient monitoring and prediction of early deterioration. Working with TapestryHealth on a pilot basis, Xandar Kardian began deploying its sensors at a New York state skilled nursing facility in November 2021. Data provided from autonomous, continuous, and contact-free monitoring of patient vital signs through UWB radar showed that, even when respiratory rate is stable, a patient's elevated resting heart rate can be used as a predictor of an upcoming medical crisis up to seven days in advance. This ability to monitor resting heart rate continuously and accurately with Xandar Kardian devices, particularly while a patient is sleeping, has provided a window of time to proactively intervene before severe medical emergencies strike - drastically reducing the readmission rates and ER visits of TapestryHealth patients while simultaneously minimizing staff workload.
