The wearable, dubbed FloPatch, is an ultra-sound system that manages intravenous fluid therapy earlier for sepsis care pathways, according to a March 14 press release from El Camino Health. 

The patch is placed on a patient’s neck and can continuously assess blood flow within major blood vessels. The patch then wirelessly transmits that data to an iOS mobile application. 

The mobile application provides clinicians with real time data at the bedside.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
