Remote Patient Monitoring

The solution with Zana expands care beyond the walls of healthcare providers, as an AI companion establishing a direct bridge between patients and doctors. Almost 90% of the patient’s journey occurs outside the hospital or doctor's office. Our innovative remote care solution is designed to improve and lower costs of post-operative and chronic care.

Zana combines active conversation in natural language with real-time monitoring through connected devices. All of this from the comfort of a patient's home, through a smartphone or smart home device. On the other side, an innovative dashboard system updates doctors about their patient's health continuously and securely.

How does it work?

Through a conversational interface, continuous monitoring with smart wearables and machine learning, Zana gathers a holistic view on patient's health.

Patients are equipped with Zana smartphone app connected to wearable devices (smartwatch, ECG monitor). Zana is able to read data from such health trackers in the background.

Additionally, the voice-enabled mobile assistant converses with patients in order to assess their well-being and answer their questions with trusted medical information. Patient-reported outcomes are recorded via text or voice conversation with Zana, based on rigorous clinically-validated Quality of Life protocols.

Zana for doctors and health insurance companies

On the other side, healthcare providers and payers benefit from the extension of our solution, named ZanaConnect – a dashboard that enables continuous monitoring of patient's health.

ZanaConnect bridges the gap between patients and doctors, allowing the latter to evaluate patients remotely.  This digital component expedites the documentation of the treatment progress, by providing personalized insights on the patient's health. These insights are compiled using Machine Learning and Reasoning Techniques based on both qualitative and quantitative data.

Who benefits and how?

Benefits for post-operative patients

• Zana allows for close follow up procedures in the early postoperative period.

  • remote check-ups conducted with a 25% reduction in cost

Current state:

We are cooperating with two clinics, one in Germany (Universitäts Herzzentrum Freiburg-Bad Krozingen) as well as one in Italy (Columbus Clinic Center). This collaboration is being done to pilot test Zana with their post- heart surgery cardiac patients.

We are currently looking to collaborate with a number of other clinics and healthcare providers.

Zana has received several prestigious awards and grants, among others EXIST Start-Up Grant, INNOLABS award, TechCrunch Top Pick in Health at Disrupt Berlin, NOAH18 Startup winner. We are proud to be operating in collaboration with renowned partners, such as the European Medical Association, the European Institute of Neuroscience, etc.

Zana Healthwatch FAQs

What can I do if the bracelet is not searched as prompted?

First, check the bracelet is energized or not; Second, Put the bracelet near the mobile phone, and try connecting the bracelet.

If you are still unable to connect the bracelet by above operations, try switching off and on the mobile phone Bluetooth once, or restart the mobile phone.

Is the Bluetooth not connected accidently?

The connecting time may be different each time as the signal is disturbed in Bluetooth wireless connection. If it is not connected for a long time, make sure your operation is done in the place where there is no disturbance of magnetic field or Bluetooth device.

The mobile phone Bluetooth services become abnormal accidentally in re-starting up, so that the Bluetooth may not be connected.

The mobile phone Bluetooth is connected normally when you restart the mobile phone.

Why is there no vibration of the bracelet to remind me after setting the
notification of incoming call?

First check the mobile phone Bluetooth is switched on and the bracelet is connected or not; Second/ check the bracelet APP is running (or backstage running) for Android system.

Note: FLY memory cleaner and some keeper software may clean or intercept tasks, please add APP to the white list.

Why doesn't the bracelet receive message push?

You have to confirms that a switch for message push is opened on the phone client.

You have to confirm that message can be displayed normally in the mobile phone notification bar. The message push on the bracelet is completed by reading the message from the mobile phone notification bar; the bracelet will not receive the push if there is no message in the mobile phone notification bar (you need to find notification settings in the mobile phone settings, turn on the notification switch of WhatsApp, Facebook, SMS and mobile phone client)

Why does my heart rate measure fail?

Note to keep the user in a quiet status in measuring heart rate, and keep the bottom of bracelet losely attached to the arm without obvious gap. Don't wave arms during measurement.

Why do blood pressure values deviate from blood pressure monitor?

The deviation between the measured values of the bracelet and the blood pressure monitor is determined by many factors. The blood pressure monitor is located in the brachial artery and the bracelet is located in the two main branches of the arterioles.

Under normal circumstances, there will be a difference between the aortic and arterioles blood pressure measurements, about 3 to 40; if you use a bracelet and a blood pressure monitor to measure at the same time, because blood flows in the artery in a centrifugal direction, the bandage of the blood pressure monitor keeps the part right below the middle of your elbow under pressure and temporarily prevents the blood from flowing smoothly down the lower branch of the artery; and increases vascular tension, which will cause greater deviation between the upper and lower blood pressure measurements.

Why can't you wear the bracelet to take a hot bath?

Bath water temperature is relatively high, there will be a lot of vapor, and vapor is in the gas phase, with small molecular radius, it is easy to infiltrate from the shell gap of the bracelet; when the temperature drops down, it will condensate into liquid droplets, which will easily cause short circuit inside the bracelet, damage the ring circuit board, and then damage the bracelet.

Warning!

Please consult your doctor before you take part in a new sport.
