This strategic collaboration with BluSim Tech Pte Ltd. marks a significant milestone in Fischer MVL’s journey towards expanding its healthcare portfolio and enhancing its offerings in medical imaging and diagnostics solutions, aiming to redefine healthcare through advanced technologies and unparalleled expertise.
BluSim Tech Pte Ltd. is a pioneering health-tech company based in Singapore, dedicated to transform the elder care industry. Their technology, Ballistocardiography, is a non-invasive method based on the measurement of the body motion generated by the ejection of the blood at each cardiac cycle. Their product, BluSim Mat, powered by advanced algorithms and AI, enables continuous and contactless vital monitoring, including heart rate, respiration rate, sleep pattern, bed position, and presence monitoring, all without wearable devices. By converting micro vibrations into meaningful biomarkers, BluSim Tech’s solution provides real-time monitoring of patient vitals and detect early warning for potential health issues. Unlike traditional monitors that require multiple sensors attached to the body, BluSim Mat is a completely contactless solution, eliminating discomfort and inconvenience. The solutions also integrate external sensors for additional parameters like blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and body temperature.
According to the WHO, the senior population in emerging nations is expected to reach about 1 billion by 2050, resulting in a high demand for elder care services. The global long term elder care market size was accounted at US$1.03 trillion in 2022 and is projected to reach over US$1.92 trillion by 2032 (source: www.precedenceresearch.com).
