COVID-19 Solutions
Problem
Key institutions such as schools, colleges, universities, businesses, government agencies, and healthcare facilities are all looking for a way back to some level of normal operations. This requires returning people to the physical environments and proximity that existed before the Coronavirus outbreak.
What strategies and tools can these large organizations use to help mitigate the risk of an infectious outbreak?
Are there technologies they can leverage to (1) help these individuals maintain social distancing guidelines and (2) help administrators and management identify high-risk individuals that may have a higher probability of infection before they are able to spread the virus to a larger group?
Solution
Pivotal Health Tech brings an innovative solution that uses wrist worn wearables with embedded sensors that capture, analyze and display key biomarkers that represent key physiological changes associated with an early COVID-19 infection. These wearables integrated into a robust platform that can alert and notify appropriate individuals and groups that can escalate a probable threat and prompt immediate action to further investigate and separate that individual in real-time.
Some of our wearables are equipped with a feature that vibrates when the wearer breaks a pre-configured safe distance from another person so as to help maintain social distancing practices.
Our Wearables
We utilize two wearables offering different levels of functionality based on the specific application and its requirements. Our sleek band looks like a typical fitness tracker but with temperature and heart rate sensors that provide quick insight into an individual’s probability of infection.
Our sport watch delivers all that plus HRV, blood oxygenation levels and social distancing awareness alerts that provide even more detail and utility. Both wearables are integrated into our platform.
Our Platform
Our ecosystem is built within Microsoft’s Azure’s technology that provides unparalleled scalability, real-time response, global availability and a level of privacy and data security that has become the benchmark of secure applications world-wide. Our responsive alert & notification capability allows a highly configurable recipient tree that will comply with any organization’s hierarchal standards and requirements.
Our displays are customizable for different groups and needs to provide real-time actionable data to the most appropriate recipients.
Our Core Markets
Education
As the country's public and private school systems, colleges and universities are scrambling to reopen under the cloud of an ongoing pandemic and with rate of infections rising in a majority of the states, the prospect of bringing large groups of students together in a campus environment is fraught with risk and potentially catastrophic outbreaks.
With the help of Pivotal Health Tech's COVID-19 solution, staff and administration will have the tool they need to monitor students’ (and faculty’s) key physiological indicators of those at risk of probable infection during the early stages. This gives the institutions an early warning and detection system that will highlight those individuals with a higher probability of infection while alerting administrators in key positions to escalate and remove those individuals from the larger population thereby preventing catastrophic outbreaks that threaten to shut down the entire school.
Commercial
Businesses across the country are gearing up to resume operations and restore corporate and employee economic viability but when that means employees returning to offices, manufacturing facilities and warehousing environments during a pandemic with infection rates on the rise, some mechanism to provide awareness, insights and the ability to take action will be necessary to ensure safe operations.
Pivotal Health Tech's COVID-19 solution will give management the tool they need to monitor employees' key physiological indicators and identify those employees at higher risk of probable infection during the early stages. This gives the organization an early warning and detection system that will highlight those individuals with a higher probability of infection while alerting managers and healthcare executives in key positions to escalate and remove those individuals from the larger population thereby preventing catastrophic outbreaks that threaten to shut down the entire business.
Military
Pivotal Health Tech's Military solution leverages the same basic technologies customized for the many different environments and requirements that a diverse set of needs many military scenarios may present. Whether active duty, veteran based or healthcare / rehab centric, these densely populated settings present potentially risky outcomes if infected people interact with impunity.
Strategies, tactics and mechanisms must be in place to monitor and alert key personnel when early warning signs of infection are detected.
Pivotal Health Tech's COVID-19 solution will give Command the tool they need to monitor personnel's key physiological indicators and identify those soldiers that are showing signs of probable early stage infections. This gives the unit an early warning and detection system that will highlight those individuals with a higher probability of infection while alerting first responders, medical staff and command officers allowing them to escalate within a pre-established structure and remove those individuals from the larger population thereby preventing catastrophic outbreaks that threaten to infect everyone.
Everyone Agrees Wearables are a Key to Addressing COVID-19
Bloomberg
The Scripps Research Translational Institute have been using Fitbit fitness trackers to find abnormalities in personal health indicators (like heart rate, sleep patterns and activity levels) that may hold clues to possible infection and “pick up the subtle physiological changes that herald infection, they could nudge users to get tested even before symptoms appear”. This is a great backstop to the widely agreed upon single physiological indicator of infection which would be a significant rise in temperature and provide a comprehensive management tool to identify potential infections before they become larger outbreaks.
While Pivotal Health Tech’s integrated solution delivers real-time temperature monitoring as the key biomarker and primary data source, we also collect and utilize heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen saturation, activity level and sleep patterns and can leverage those full spectrum insights into a more robust awareness of the individual’s health & wellness. We also can collect no Personally Identifiable Information and only associate that detail with device ID numbers at the host’s (individual school or business location) infrastructure which means we don’t violate anyone’s privacy & security concerns.
The Washington Post
We applaud the continued research and study focused on detecting early warning signs of Covid infections. Wearables are finding new combinations of physiological indicators which can provide even earlier detection offering better outcomes for the individual and larger groups they can impact.
Pivotal Health Tech believes in the science supported by the research and study that will ensure integrated wearable solutions will be the healthcare innovation we all rely on to keep us healthy and safe. Our vision is to use the latest insights resulting from credible research and testing leveraging the latest sensor driven algorithms for a best of breed tool for early warning and detection.
