Your vital signs, watched over from home.
VitalTrack Health is a low-cost wearable device and app that continuously tracks a patient's vital signs and streams them in real time to their clinic — so care teams can monitor patients remotely and act early.
Chronic disease is the world's biggest killer — and early warning signs show up in vital signs first.
Ageing and lifestyle changes alter the body's signals long before a crisis. Patients can't sit in a clinic all day, but their vital signs can be watched continuously from home.

Five vital signs. One wearable.
VitalTrack Health measures the core signals clinicians rely on to judge how a patient is doing.
Electrocardiogram
The heart's electrical activity, showing rhythm and irregular beats.
Heart rate
Beats per minute, revealing an unusually fast or slow heart.
Blood pressure
Pressure in the arteries — key for hypertension and heart risk.
Body temperature
A simple, early indicator of fever and infection.
Oxygen saturation
How much oxygen the blood carries, flagging breathing problems.
From the patient's wrist to the clinic's screen — in real time.

Built in partnership with clinics.
VitalTrack Health is a service, not just a gadget: the wearable and app connect each patient to the clinic that cares for them.
For patients
- Stay at home while your clinic keeps an eye on you
- Fewer trips just to have readings taken
- Peace of mind for you and your family
- Simple to wear, affordable to own
For clinics
- Follow many patients remotely from one dashboard
- Spot worrying changes between appointments
- Support chronic-disease and post-discharge care
- Nursing-led follow-up built into the service
Tested against a reference patient monitor.
subjects took part in testing the prototype device. Its readings were compared with a standard reference patient monitor and were found to be approximately consistent with it.

Care that follows the patient home.
Chronic patients
People living with heart disease, hypertension or other long-term conditions.
Older adults
Elderly people who want to stay independent at home, safely.
Recovering patients
Patients discharged from hospital who still need close follow-up.
Clinics
Care teams extending their reach beyond the consulting room.
Nurses and health technologists, building care together.
VitalTrack Health was founded in 2024 by a research team combining hands-on patient care with medical device and health technology expertise.
Faculty of Nursing
Defines the patient experience and clinical workflow: which readings matter, how patients are followed up, and how clinics respond.
Faculty of Health & Medical Technologies
Builds the wearable: sensors, microcontroller, IoT connectivity and the monitoring app.
Frequently asked questions
What does VitalTrack Health measure?
Five vital signs: ECG, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂).
Who can use the device?
It is designed to be low-cost and simple enough for anyone to use at home, without medical training.
How does my clinic see my readings?
The device's microcontroller sends readings over the internet to an IoT platform, where the clinic can monitor them in real time.
How accurate is it?
In testing on 10 subjects, the device's readings were compared with a standard reference patient monitor and were approximately consistent with it.
Is it an emergency service?
No. VitalTrack Health supports remote monitoring by your clinic. In an emergency, always contact your local emergency services.
