The Era of Care Continuity is Here

Smarter Care.

Safer Patients.

Always Connected.

Vital Buddy is a wearable monitoring device that tracks blood pressure and selected vital signs for review by care teams. Vital Buddy supports ongoing vital signs tracking.

Clinicians can review daily health data, vital sign trends, and deviations from personal baselines through the VitalFriend platform. Care teams and families get a real-time picture of each senior's health, so they know what's happening and can step in early.

Automated monitoring supports the next level of timely, connected care.
