Introduction
Welcome to the Health Information Systems Symposium in Orlando! I’m Des Blanchfield, and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Corey Senton, the founder and CTO of Bodyport. In this interview, Corey sheds light on the innovative connected weigh scale product developed by Bodyport and how it is revolutionizing remote cardiovascular monitoring.
About Bodyport
- Bodyport is building a connected weigh scale product that goes beyond traditional scales by measuring cardiovascular function in just 10 seconds.
- Unlike conventional weigh scales, Bodyport’s SmartScale can measure both the electrical and mechanical function of the heart, providing valuable insights into heart health.
- The SmartScale collects data through the feet, making it a convenient and non-invasive tool for remote monitoring.
Preventative Health Monitoring
- Corey’s background in the medical device industry, particularly in cardiovascular care, inspired him to develop a technology that could detect early signs of cardiovascular disease.
- Bodyport’s focus is on transitioning diagnostic technologies from hospitals to the comfort of people’s homes, enabling early detection and preventive care.
- By leveraging machine learning, Bodyport can analyze longitudinal data to identify subtle deviations that serve as precursors to disease, allowing for proactive intervention.
Leveraging AT&T’s Infrastructure
- Bodyport chose AT&T’s LTE-M (Low Power Wide Area) technology for its SmartScale due to its low power consumption and wide indoor penetration.
- The partnership with AT&T has provided Bodyport with a reliable infrastructure and support, allowing them to scale their devices and pilot programs with leading hospitals.
Conclusion
It’s clear that Bodyport’s SmartScale is disrupting the healthcare industry by enabling proactive and preventative health monitoring. By leveraging advanced technology and strategic partnerships, Bodyport is paving the way for a shift from reactive to preventive care, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease.
Stay tuned for more updates from Bodyport as they continue to innovate in the field of remote cardiovascular monitoring.
