Mezoo: The Wonju Wearable Taking Patient Monitoring Beyond the Bedside

Mezoo has turned a credit-card-sized chest patch into a monitoring platform used in more than 700 Korean hospitals and clinics.

The monitoring gap Mezoo set out to close

In most hospitals, continuous cardiac monitoring stops at the door of the intensive care unit. Patients on general wards, in emergency departments, on the move between departments or recovering at home after discharge are checked only periodically, even though many remain at risk. Mezoo estimates that Korea alone has around 600,000 hospital beds, yet only about 3% are covered by digital monitoring.

Mezoo calls its answer ambulatory remote patient monitoring, or aRPM: wearable technology that lets clinicians watch a patient’s vital signs continuously, wherever that patient happens to be.
