800: HealthTech - The Wearable Reducing Hospital Readmissions


Listen Later

Current Health (formerly snap40) is the most accurate, all-in-one wireless wearable currently approved in the U.S. and EU. The company’s proprietary algorithms continuously analyze data, along with relevant contextual patient information, to offer actionable and proactive insights into the wearer’s health.

Current’s FDA-cleared wearable monitors the human body with ICU-level accuracy across more vital signs than any other all-in-one device on the market. Headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, with an office in New York, Current is venture backed by investors ADV, MMC Ventures and others.

Faced with an aging population and strained healthcare systems worldwide, U.S. and U.K. healthcare providers are deploying Current to change their patient delivery models from reactive to proactive care to produce better patient outcomes.

Current’s approach will help health organizations reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions for patients whose conditions deteriorate after treatment — an expensive and cumbersome clinical burden that costs U.S. hospitals more than $40 billion annually.

Built using the world’s largest real-time physiological data set, Current is the most accurate, all-in-one wireless wearable currently approved for use in the EU and U.S. The company’s proprietary algorithms continuously analyze data, along with relevant contextual patient information, to offer actionable and proactive insights into the wearer’s health.

“At Current, we’re a small team of individuals committed to changing the world through proactive healthcare,” said Christopher McCann, CEO of Current. “Our team worked hard to get here, and it’s just the first step toward monitoring the health of every human being to identify sickness earlier with the goal of saving lives. Today, we’re in the hospital, tomorrow the home, and in the near future, we’ll be everywhere. We are just getting started.”

Current Health CEO Christopher McCann has been on the podcast before, but I invited him back on the show to discuss the advancements in healthcare AI and IoT, and how they are already helping improve patient care.
