A window to the heart
FloPatch is the world’s first wireless wearable Doppler ultrasound system designed to obtain vital blood flow data for clinicians managing critically ill patients.
This innovative technology allows clinicians to perform high-quality hemodynamic assessments with a small, lightweight, low-cost, cloud-connected wireless device which uses an iOS-based tablet monitor, unifying the user experience.
When a patient enters the emergency department, every second counts. Blood flow data is invaluable information that can help clinicians who manage critically ill patients make split-second decisions that save lives.
FloPatch is a non-invasive, hands-free, peel-and-stick alternative to traditional means of obtaining blood flow data using invasive catheters or expensive bedside ultrasound equipment.
From the single-button interface to the modern and intuitive app-based monitor, FloPatch boasts a sleek, human-centric design that creates an effortless workflow for health care providers and provides maximum comfort to the patient.
The stethoscope of the 21st century, providing clinicians with vital blood flow information from the palm of your hand, deployed with the push of a button.
FloPatch aims to disrupt the status quo. Modern aesthetics, design excellence, and sustainable practices were prioritized during the design process – a departure from traditional design standards for medical devices used in clinical settings.
Built for sustainability, the FloPatch features IP67 waterproofing for efficient cleaning and reprocessing to reduce the single use e-waste that is common in the medical industry and low-cost paper packaging. Clever engineering and creative use of sustainable materials can eliminate needless plastic waste.
The result is a low-cost, low-friction solution that embodies simplicity, elegance, and efficiency, meeting all Health Canada and FDA regulatory requirements.
FloPatch’s innovative technology and clinical relevance has been internationally recognized by MedTech Innovator, MERCK KGA, and Ontario Centres for Excellence.
