Life-saving
Health Care
In A Box
ABOUT
WHAT IS RXBOX
A real quality life
experience all-in a box.
The RxBox is a multi-component device that captures real-time health data from the patients. It composes of medical sensors such Blood Pressure Monitor, Pulse Oximeter, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Fetal Heart Monitor, Maternal Tocometer and Temperature Sensor connected to a touch-screen tablet. The touch-screen tablet is programmed to collect patient's health data from the built-in medical sensors attached to the device. The health data appears real-time on the tablet screen once a patient is being examined through the sensors, hence the real quality life experience in a box.
FEATURES
1
Blood Pressure Monitor
Measures the patient’s blood pressure to detect cardiovascular problems especially hypertension, a disease which can also worsen other chronic lifestyle disease conditions.
2
Pulse Oximeter
Measures the level of oxygen in the patient’s blood and can help detect lung and cardiovascular problems – leading causes of death among Filipinos.
3
Electro-cardiogram (ECG)
Monitors the heart’s movement to pump blood throughout the body, helpful for those with acute and chronic heart problems, including pregnant mothers with cardiovascular problems.
4
Fetal Heart Monitor
Measures the baby’s heart rate while in the womb, helping detect fetal distress at critical times of the pregnancy and delivery.
5
Maternal Tocometer
Measures the strength of a mother’s uterine contractions during labor and delivery, enabling early detection of distress to the mother and/or the baby.
6
Temperature Sensor
Measures a patient’s body temperature. It can help detect fever, a common medical sign of infection and other disease conditions.
