Hoana Medical, Inc. was founded in 2001 as a high tech spin-off of Oceanit Laboratories, a Hawaii-based engineering, science, and research company established in 1985. Today, Hoana is a privately held medical device company with products that passively collect patient vital signs in a bold new way. The company's revolutionary, patented LifeBed™ patient vigilance systems provide non-contact measurement of patient vital signs using sensors embedded in a hospital mattress coverlet, eliminating the need to attach sensors, electrodes, cuffs or other devices directly to the patient.
Hoana’s technology sprang from early development work at Oceanit, funded by grants from the US military to develop a Medevac ambulatory monitoring platform. The LifeBed system proved itself in Medevac helicopters where it was able to accurately detect patients’ heart and respiratory rates through full body armor in spite of the extreme background noise and vibration.«Less

| Description: | The Hoana LifeBed patient vigilance system provides a simple but highly effective solution for continuous observation of patient conditions. Unlike conventional monitoring systems that require attaching electrodes, cuffs, or sensors to the patient, no physical contact or connections are needed with the Hoana LifeBed system. To use the system, the patient simply lies on the bed. Within seconds, sensors embedded under a mattress coverlet start capturing signals generated by the patient—even through bed linens and multiple layers of patient clothing. By tracking these signals, the system provides continuous vigilance, observing the patient when the nurse is away from the room. If the patient’s heart or respiratory rate strays outside of normal limits, the system will immediately alert the nurse via the hospital’s call system. |
