Abstract
In the United States, due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, over 900,000 cardiac surgeries are performed annually, with projections exceeding 1.3 million by 2029. Many post-surgical patients require continuous in-hospital cardiac monitoring, which is typically conducted using electrocardiograms (EKGs). However, traditional EKG systems such as bedside cardiac monitors and cardiac telemetry monitors rely on wired leads that can easily tangle, degrade signal quality, and require frequent readjustments or replacements due to wire breakage, and for the patient, this can cause discomfort from prolonged use. To overcome these challenges, our company, CardioSync, aims to develop a wireless cardiac monitoring device called the Evervital Patch that ensures both patient comfort and real-time, continuous data transmission that integrates directly with hospital monitoring systems. Our design prioritizes accuracy, reliability, ease of use, and seamless integration within hospitals. This paper outlines the research, design process, and company development timeline surrounding this device, detailing the steps taken to achieve an innovative and effective solution for in-hospital continuous cardiac monitoring.
