Evon­dos acquired Vita­cam, cam­era-based vital signs mon­i­tor­ing to improve home care work­flows

Evon­dos Group announces the suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of an asset deal with NE Device SW Oy, whose flag­ship prod­uct, Vita­cam™, is a soft­ware-as-med­ical device for mea­sur­ing vital phys­i­o­log­i­cal para­me­ters. The deal became effec­tive from August 30th, 2024 and under the terms of the agree­ment, both par­ties agreed not to dis­close fur­ther details. Vita­cam™ will enable Evon­dos to sup­port home care work­flows and fur­ther free up nurs­ing time for care.

Vita­cam mea­sures vital phys­i­o­log­i­cal para­me­ters from a short video clip or stream using advanced com­put­er vision tech­niques and remote pho­to­plethys­mog­ra­phy. As peo­ple are increas­ing­ly cared for at home, these para­me­ters help clin­i­cians get a more com­plete view of changes in health with­out need­ing to be phys­i­cal­ly present. Vita­cam is a class IIa CE-marked med­ical device that can be used for rou­tine patient vital sign checks.

Clin­i­cal col­lab­o­ra­tions with sev­er­al teach­ing hos­pi­tals and uni­ver­si­ties in Fin­land and the Unit­ed King­dom have been cru­cial to the devel­op­ment and val­i­da­tion of Vita­cam and will con­tin­ue to be so. Over the com­ing months, the orga­ni­za­tion will work exclu­sive­ly with cus­tomers to stream­line work­flows for nurs­es and engage senior cit­i­zens in their health.

Evon­dos Group’s auto­mat­ed med­ica­tion dis­pens­ing solu­tions enable a very high lev­el of adher­ence and help care orga­ni­za­tions pro­vide care in an effec­tive and mean­ing­ful way. The com­bi­na­tion of Evon­dos solu­tions and Vita­cam vital signs mon­i­tor­ing will sup­port inde­pen­dent liv­ing at home by stream­lin­ing care work­flows even fur­ther.

“Our team at Evon­dos is very impressed with Vitacam’s cam­era-based vital signs mon­i­tor­ing capa­bil­i­ties, devel­oped for the most demand­ing care envi­ron­ment. Sci­en­tif­ic devel­op­ment in coop­er­a­tion with lead­ing uni­ver­si­ty hos­pi­tals in the UK and Fin­land, com­bined with Class II Med­ical device clas­si­fi­ca­tion, brings good oppor­tu­ni­ties for home care orga­ni­za­tions and care pro­fes­sion­als to deal with the grow­ing demand for elder­ly care amidst the nurs­ing cri­sis across Europe,” says Eetu Kos­ki, CEO Evon­dos Group.

“Vita­cam allows health­care pro­fes­sion­als to mon­i­tor peo­ple at home with­out being there in per­son, enabling less trav­el and pos­si­bil­i­ties for pre­ven­ta­tive action. The broad pres­ence and capa­bil­i­ties of Evon­dos will enable the fur­ther devel­op­ment and adop­tion of this tech­nol­o­gy,” says Moy­een Ahmad, CEO of NE Device SW Oy.
