Company at a Glance
SPO Medical Systems Is a medical company that develops and manufactures monitoring devices that capture
vital signs using patented reflective technology.
SPO Medical Systems has developed a unique Reflectance Pulse Oximetry (RPO) technology for noninvasively
monitoring blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. The sensors are affixed to a single side of a
body part, use low-power batteries, and incorporate wireless functionality. Partners are sought to distribute
and provide technical support for current product lines within four key markets: Medical care; Home and
remote-care; Sports and wellness; and Safety and security.
Our non-invasive reflective technology provides cutting edge, rapid and reliable mobile response, using this
features we developed a new sophisticated product to preventing suicides among prisoners and mentally
ills.
The product is used by the Israel Prison Service.

Technology & Product(s)
There are two methods to measure pulse oximetry: by transmission through a body part or by reflection. In
general, the transmission method can only be used on limited areas of the body, such as fingers, earlobes,
etc. Furthermore, in some instances when the transmission method is used, physiological conditions such as
stress and temperature can affect the accuracy of pulse oximetry readings.
SPO Medical Systems has developed patented sensors that work accurately during physical activity. This
technique uses a reflective method whereby a very small sensor placed on the body at various locations has
the ability to measure oxygen saturation and heart pulse rate.
Innovative aspects and main advantages:
• The sensor technology very precisely captures vital cardiovascular parameters such as pulse rate, pulse
rhythm and pulse pressure.
• It consumes very little power, so it is useful for continuous monitoring of people in non-clinical
environments.
• It does not require tight skin contact. Therefore, it does not cause occlusion or discomfort and can be
worn comfortably around the clock for long periods of time. It is small and lightweight enough to be
easily embedded in wristwatch-type devices.
