Vital Metrix has developed and tested a patented technology for performing non-invasive measurements of cardiac output for patient monitoring. Our method has accuracy that is comparable to the current "gold standard" invasive measurement that utilizes a Swan-Ganz catheter.The Vital Metrix measurement is based on pulse oximeter technology, which is a mature measurement that is widely used in hospital settings and be first responders. Vital Metrix utilizes information contained in the pulse oximeter wave form to extract the cardiac output as a readily measured vital sign that can be used for patient assessment and diagnosis.Vital Metrix technology is at the intersection of two markets. The US invasive cardiac output measurement market is about $5B annually, and the US pulse oximetry market is about $1B annually.

Vital Metrix has developed a patented technology for applying digital signal processing techniques to analyze the waveform generated by a pulse oximeter to measure the cardiac output of a patient. This will provide clinicians with a continuous measurement of cardiac output to improve patient care. The current gold standard for measuring cardiac output is an invasive procedure with significant risk of complications.
