The Israeli medical equipment company created a pulmonary edema monitor (non-invasive) device. Pulmonary effusion is the main cause of decompensation and hospitalization of heart failure. The determination of pulmonary effusion in the first stage is crucial. Otherwise, the treatment effect is poor. Since the lung is a chest organ, it is difficult to measure the amount of pulmonary effusion in the first stage. The new device based on the new patented technology can distinguish the fluid of the whole chest from the fluid of the lungs. Compared with the existing device, this method improves the sensitivity of measuring lung fluid by 25 times. The device has high predictive sensitivity for hospitalization of heart failure (98%), can determine very small changes in lung fluid and start preventive treatment early in the decompensation of heart failure. Some studies using the device have found that the use of the device in the hospital can greatly shorten the length of hospital stay and improve the mortality in the hospital and after discharge. Home care using the device showed a 65% reduction in the number of hospitalizations and a 60% reduction in mortality. At present, the company seeks investment.
