ANNE Vital Sign System Remote Sleep Assessment

The ANNE Vital Sign System is a wireless remote monitoring system consisting of two flexible, soft, and skin-mounted electronic devices for use by researchers and healthcare professionals for continuous collection of physiological data in home and professional healthcare settings. The ANNE Vital Sign System integrates simultaneous synchronized ambulatory measurement of electrocardiography, photoplethysmography with derived pulse oximetry, pulse arrival time with derived beat-to-beat blood pressure, triaxial accelerometry, respiratory rate, and temperature, which would enable accurate measurement of sleep apnea. Indeed, in compelling in-laboratory preliminary data, we show the capacity for the ANNE Vital Sign System to detect and characterize sleep apnea in older patients. The ANNE Vital Sign System is non-invasive, flexible, easy to use, comfortable, and skin safe.
