WE ARE
VITA INNOVATIONS
A Cornell based startup creating a smart mask to address emergency room overcrowding.
Learn MoreAbout Us
We're a group of Cornell University students and alumni focused on addressing the issues surrounding emergency department overcrowding. With limited personnel and space, patients wait for several hours unmonitored in waiting rooms before receiving care, if at all. Unfortunately, ED overcrowding can often lead to increased walkouts, progression of illness, and fatalities.
VIEW MOREThe Problem
Over 90% of EDs experience overcrowding and 92% of the physicians we reached out to (n=115) are concerned of ED overcrowding and its symptoms.
Our Solution
We are creating a device, VitalMask, that will provide continuous monitoring for patients in waiting rooms and alert medical personnel of any emergencies.
Hardware
Our device fits under a traditional surgical mask and is equipped with sensors that measure heart rate, SpO2 levels, temperature, and respiratory rate.
Software
Our desktop application can connect to multiple devices through bluetooth. The application displays all recorded vitals and allows for custom alarm thresholds.
