Oxford University spin-off Oxehealth has been granted accreditation for its digital video camera sensor, which can remotely monitor and accurately measure a patient's pulse and breathing rate. The accreditation as a Class IIa medical device in Global Digital Exemplars is believed to be the first of its kind in the world. The sensor could now be used in care scenarios involving the elderly and vulnerable. The sensor will be launched as part of Oxehealth’s Digital Care Assistant solution, which includes an optical sensor to monitor patients. It is currently in use in the UK and Sweden.
