Which medical device(s) is H@H service using to measure patients? “The wearable currently being used by H@H allows the team to monitor six different vital signs (HR, BP, RR, SPO2, Temperature and ECG), along with cardiac algorithms.”

I’m not sure - does anyone here have much to do with the Hospital in the Home program in the Northern region?

I note that Erik McClain (the lead clinician) was a speaker at the Virtual Hospital Symposium run by NZ Telehealth. @Ruth_Large - any chance you can connect him to this?

When approached, Erik kindly shared this:

> The wearable HitH uses is [Biobeat](https://www.bio-beat.com/) and the intermittent devices are [iHealth](https://ihealthlabs.com/). These seem to be working just fine.
