VapCare: Automated Secretion Management and Oral Hygiene System for Ventilated Patients
Startup
Implementing Organization
Project Overview
VapCare is an automated secretion management and oral hygiene system for ICU patients on mechanical ventilation. VAPCare provides a completely closed system for intelligent and accurate removal of saliva and secretions in a ventilated patient- without any risk of exposure of the nurse to these secretions. VAPCare also significantly reduces the nursing burden by automating a key nursing step in the management of ventilated patients- which will also be critical in the impending shortages of nursing staff with increased ICU admissions for COVID.
