Company at a Glance<br />

EarlySense Ltd. is bringing to market the EverOn system, an automatic, continuous, contact-free patient<br />

monitoring system that accurately identifies high-risk patient conditions. Alerting caregivers immediately<br />

upon detecting such events enables earlier interventions, leading to reduced complications and costs.<br />

EarlySense is headquartered in Ramat Gan, <strong>Israel</strong> and employs a multi-disciplinary team of 25 engineers,<br />

physicists, physicians, nurses and marketing professionals working closely with clinical sites worldwide. The<br />

Company’s vision is that within 10 years, all acute, chronic and geriatric patients will be continuously<br />

safeguarded with such continuous monitoring solutions in home and hospital settings.<br />

EarlySense's EverOn system bridges the critical time gap between patient deterioration and clinician<br />

intervention. In light of the Joint Commission’s 2009 Patient Safety Goals for healthcare organizations,<br />

EarlySense's technology offers a timely solution for detecting changes in a patient’s condition, while also<br />

helping nurses focus on the patients who need their immediate attention.<br />

Technology<br />

EarlySense's technology is based on advanced signal-processing algorithms developed and refined over<br />

years of extensive in-vivo testing. The patented systems include ultra-sensitive components that monitor<br />

patients without direct contact or the need for patient compliance. The algorithms enable clinically accurate<br />

tracking and measurement of respiration and heart rates, as well as patient movement, including bed<br />

entry/exit and patient turn verification as indicated by a nurse interface.<br />

Automatic System Operation<br />

EarlySense’s technology has three main components: 1) a unique single plate sensing unit; 2) a bedside unit<br />

that processes and displays the measured data; and 3) a central station display that enables complete<br />

coverage of a unit wide set of monitors at a single point and enables an interface to the nurses’ mobile<br />

devices. Once placed under a bed mattress, the sensing unit immediately self-activates whenever the patient<br />

is in bed. The continuously filtered, sampled and analyzed data can be stored, and if desired can be printed<br />

for documentation and clinician analysis. The system is FDA and CE cleared and has been shown to improve<br />

clinical outcomes in general care units.<br />
