Our goal is to keep heart failure patients out of the hospital.

 

The Challenge

Despite various barriers we all know exist, one of the largest contributors to this problem is that healthcare systems are designed to focus on treatment after decompensation occurs, rather than proactive monitoring and prevention.

That’s a problem because heart failure is a complex disease and most patients are ill equipped to manage their changing condition or identify the need for treatment.

The Truth

We all know that heart failure patients are often unwilling or unable to adequately monitor the progression of their disease. Heart failure patients often fail to recognize the subtle signs and symptoms of possible instability, and take appropriate action before reaching a crisis state that requires hospitalization.

The Change

That’s why, to achieve the goal of reduced hospitalization, we need to utilize a simple, low-cost method of automatically identifying heart failure decompensation so that doctors can intervene before hospitalization is required.

And the best method to do that is by providing the patient with a simple, trustworthy wearable device that continuously monitors peripheral edema and notifies the doctor, patient or caregiver of pending decompensation.

Not only does that achieve the goal, it also reduces the staff required to identify patients in need, and eliminates the cost of non-reimbursable HF readmissions.

Our Vision and Mission

BodiGuide’s vision is to facilitate higher levels of trust and understanding between healthcare providers and their patients, by providing monitoring tools that are simple, helpful and trustworthy.

BodiGuide’s mission is to accelerate the transformation of the healthcare industry by enabling a lower cost model of care based on monitoring and improved self-care.

 

Simple, Helpful and Trustworthy

BodiGuide develops biosensors, monitoring systems and wearable measurement devices that are designed to transform the effectiveness of healthcare providers by enabling access to vital physiological information.

BodiGuide’s founders have personal or family experience with heart failure and bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges associated with heart-failure caregiving, patient self-care and cardiology.

The genesis of the BodiGuide Edema Monitor is in the founder’s 30 years of proven medical device market expertise – R&D, product development, and commercialization of healthcare solutions that improve population health and reduce the cost of care.

BodiGuide transforms the access and use of essential physiological data by providing minimal, non-invasive products and tools for continuous patient monitoring.
