BeFC® PATCH : Real-time remote monitoring smart patch

Clinical interoperable solution

BeFC® PATCH improves patient outcomes via a non-invasive monitoring technology that is comfortable, safe, and interoperable. This product is powered by a BeFC® Biofuel cell, lightweight, thin & flexible; perfect for wearable applications. Our technology is adaptable and can easily be integrated into a patch form factor, as much as a bracelet or a bandage.

Bespoke active sensing

A wide range of sensors can be integrated into BeFC® smart PATCH. Our sensors can detect physical, physiological and biological parameters through the study of the skin surface down to the single analytes using in a compact patch product , therefore covering a large scope in the point-of-care testing.

Improve patient outcome

The advent of digital wearable patches and portable compact medical devices has revolutionised healthcare by facilitating early diagnostics and significantly enhancing the quality of life for patients. Our innovative BeFC® PATCH enable real-time monitoring of vital signs and health indicators, allowing for the early detection of potential health issues. Consequently, medical professionals can promptly identify and administer adequate treatments tailored to the patient's specific needs. By continuously gathering and analyzing health data, these devices empower individuals with timely insights into their well-being, promoting proactive health management and reducing the likelihood of hospitalisations. Ultimately, the seamless integration of these digital tools into daily life represents a significant leap forward in personalised healthcare, ensuring patients receive precise and efficient care while maintaining an improved quality of life.

    Integrated Sensors Features

    SKIN TEMPERATURE

    Skin temperature sensors monitor peripheral blood flow and thermoregulation, aiding in detecting infections or inflammation. Wearable systems ensure continuous data for personalized health management.

    SKIN MOISTURE

    Skin moisture sensors measure hydration to manage skin health, prevent ulcers, and support wound care. Integrated into wearables, they enable real-time monitoring and enhanced patient comfort.

    potential Hydrogene

    pH sensors are essential for assessing acidity or alkalinity in bodily fluids, aiding in diagnosing and managing conditions like acidosis or infections. Their precision ensures effective care in critical medical interventions and diagnostics.

    Glucose

    Glucose sensors provide real-time blood sugar monitoring, essential for diabetes and valuable for pre-diabetes management to reduce or ultimately avoid complications. Wearable technologies allows proactive adjustments to ensure optimal health.

    Sodium

    Sodium sensors monitor electrolyte levels to detect and manage imbalances affecting patients' conditions for dehydration, or even cardiovascular and neurological systems.

    Biomarkers

    Biomarker sensors detect substances like lactate, creatinine, and cortisol, offering insights into metabolic, renal, and stress conditions. They support personalised healthcare through rapid and minimally invasive testing.
