Ausculto

AUSCULTO produces a patent-pending medical device for monitoring arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) in patients beginning in hemodialysis treatment. The medical patch monitors the sound produced by bloodflow in the AVF and automatically notify the patient and healthcare personnel at the hospital in case of dysfunction of the AVF. The medical patch can ease the already heavily burdened patients from the responsibility of monitoring own health, a task many feel uneasy about performing themselves. The solution will potentially result in significantly fewer chronic damages for about patients a year with end-stage renal disease in Europe and USA.
