MySignals is the most complete Plataforma de desarrollo de la sanidad electrónica able to measure the most important body parameters (ECG, glucose, airflow, pulse, oxygen in blood, blood pressure…) thanks to sensors that can be easily connected. The device works as a hospital monitoring room but fits in a small suitcase and costs one hundred times lower than an Emergency Observation Unit.
David Gascón, Libelium CTO, received the award and explained why the company launched MySignals: “We want to cover one of the main global challenges: enhancing the universal accessibility to a healthcare system for more than 2 billion people worldwide”. Half of world’s population lives in rural areas with hardly access to clinics or hospitals. MySignals could help to solve this gap because is portable and easy to be deployed anywhere.
