VQm®

The VQm® System is a non-invasive cardio-pulmonary monitor for invasively mechanically ventilated patients.

Personalized management of invasively mechanically ventilated patients.

Continuous monitoring of dynamic heart and lung function trends.

What we are solving

The invasive nature of mechanical ventilation and the difficulty to personalize treatment may result in further injury, prolonging length of hospital stay, increasing mortality and costs of care [1].

The VQm® is a cardio-pulmonary monitoring device that facilitates personalized management for mechanically ventilated patients.

Personalized ventilator settings for better outcomes

Optimal ventilator settings that are patient-specific are needed and can benefit patients with both ARDS and Shock[2][3].
