VentiWatch
A Stage II prototype monitoring and guidance device for resuscitation management of patients with respiratory or cardiorespiratory failure or arrest.
Clinical problem
Manual ventilation is critical, time-sensitive, and difficult to standardize.
Bag-valve-mask ventilation is widely used during emergency care and resuscitation. In practice, the delivered rate, volume, inspiratory timing, and consistency can vary substantially, especially in high-pressure prehospital or first-responder settings.
VentiWatch is being developed to support the rescuer with practical monitoring and guidance, helping bring ventilation delivery closer to patient-appropriate targets during respiratory or cardiorespiratory failure or arrest.
- Designed for resuscitation contexts involving respiratory or cardiorespiratory failure or arrest.
- Focused on rate, delivered-volume guidance, inspiratory-expiratory timing, and minute-ventilation awareness.
- Intended to support rescuers using currently available bag-valve-mask resuscitators.
- Public material avoids protected sensor, algorithm, and mechanical implementation details while the product pathway develops.
Public technical position
Non-confidential product description.
Monitoring
Source material positions VentiWatch around ventilation rate, tidal volume, inspiratory-expiratory ratio, and minute ventilation, with public wording kept at functional rather than mechanism level.
Guidance
The intended use includes comparing observed ventilation parameters with patient-appropriate targets, including age and weight considerations, to guide rescuer behavior during resuscitation.
Review
Ventilation-episode data may support post-event review, training, quality improvement, and validation studies, subject to privacy, clinical governance, and regulatory requirements.
Current stage
Seeking the right development partners.
VentiWatch is a Stage II prototype seeking funding, validation partners, commercialization support, and regulatory-pathway development.
