November 9, 2023- GE HealthCare and Masimo announced a joint agreement to integrate Masimo Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®) pulse oximetry into GE HealthCare’s Portrait Mobile wireless and wearable patient monitoring solution.
Portrait Mobile is built as an Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) platform, using the latest cloud native technology to provide an end-to-end experience for wearable continuous monitoring. By integrating Masimo SET®, clinicians will be able to leverage Masimo’s clinically proven Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurement technology to noninvasively detect and continuously monitor changes in patient status. The agreement follows Portrait Mobile’s 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA in August 2023.
Undetected patient deterioration, particularly post-surgery, can lead to hazardous yet preventable consequences, with 30-day mortality after surgery representing the third-leading cause of death globally.1 The uninterrupted flow of data and continuous measurement of vital signs, such as respiration rate, oxygen saturation and pulse rate, can help healthcare providers detect patient decline as it is happening, enabling timely intervention before a patient deteriorates.
