This achievement enables the platform to monitor patients across all age groups, including infants and those pregnant, and seamlessly integrates with various external devices such as heart rate and blood sugar monitors, and smart inhalers. Beyond facilitating disease self-management for patients, the platform is equipped to aid clinicians in managing critical and serious conditions, including heart failure, COPD, asthma, cancer, rare diseases, pre-/post-op monitoring and more. Additionally, the platform has the ability to host advanced machine learning algorithms, enhancing its capabilities in risk prediction, diagnosis, and disease progression.?
