About Zephyr Technology

Zephyr is a world leader in remote physiologic monitoring. For the last decade, patients and clinicians throughout the care continuum have relied on Zephyr's solutions. Our system, called ZephyrLIFE, combines algorithms, wearable sensors, wireless communication and software which reflects the lessons we have learned in the field centered on clinician workflow, data visualization and alert escalation to deliver actionable information to care givers.

Secure and HIPAA compliant, ZephyrLIFE enables the seamless monitoring of patients in the hospital, in transition, and at home. ZephyrLIFE in a facility improves safety by alerting staff to reduce patient falls and prevent pressure ulcers, improves care by documenting both patient deterioration and stabilization sooner, increases hospital revenue by identifying previously undetected comorbidities. In the home, ZephyrLIFE adds cloud solutions to leverage the internet with smartphone and gateway access. Hospital grade vital signs, ECG and accelerometry (posture, position, movement, activity) is collected in the home giving patients security, independence and improved quality of life. Two way communications allows caregivers to make adjustments over the air without interruption of the patient's daily routine. Weighing less than an ounce, the Bluetooth BioPatch vital signs monitor with accelerometer measures multiple parameters, including heart rate, respiration rate and ECG, movement and activity. Store and forward enables the freedom to live life to its fullest without missing a beat.
