THE BIG IDEA​, ​and where Metix stands out, is our unique capability to digitize high acuity monitoring and seamlessly combine clinical, operational and demographic data with administrative requirements and processes. We use proven monitoring practices, sensors and techniques to capture the relevant monitoring and patient data. Using our secure real time telemetry, Metix compiles and transmits patient data and reports to streamline/automate administrative tasks cutting administrative time for patients transfers and ward monitoring related tasks by up to 60%. Coremed is a high acuity monitor that continuously transmits location, ECG, Capnography, BP, Pulse Oximetry, Heart Rate and Temp at ICU specitivity creating a living and detailed clinical picture. This picture, along with Metix’s communication tools, creates an opportunity for physicians to be involved throughout the patient journey, providing improved clinical support to clinical teams and significant assurance to patients.

Metix has developed a high acuity monitor capable of delivering real time local and remote monitoring capabilities, continuous vital signs capture and storage, together with supporting analysis of triage and assessment scores. Metix unlocked this capability by partnering with the world’s leading OEMs such as Medtronic, Masimo and SunTech where we have combined all sensing modules into a single handheld form factor. The Coremed provides exceptional portability, prioritizing it for use in ambulances, helicopters, field hospitals and confined spaces. In addition, Metix has partnered with the University of Glasgow utilizing their ECG library to assist users in the diagnostic interpretation of ECGs collected on the Coremed. Lastly, the Metix service is much bigger than the sum of its parts. Coremed and its ability to collect clinical, demographic and operational data goes beyond reducing administrative overhead. Through wide-scale aggregation of clinical and operational data, Metix can enable a better understanding of health patterns in geographical locations, effectiveness of institutional policy, company wide operational savings, and improve clinical guidance to the clinical staff. This will position Metix to be a global leader in providing significant ongoing patient value both financially and clinically.
