Implantable sensors
Kitea is transforming healthcare for chronic conditions like heart failure and hydrocephalus with its cutting-edge implantable sensor. The device monitors pressure, allowing for early intervention and reducing hospital admissions by enabling at-home and in-hospital monitoring. Heart failure, affecting 26 million people worldwide, carries significant costs and complexities, but Kitea’s technology helps lower hospitalizations and costs. Hydrocephalus, a lifelong condition predominantly affecting children, also benefits from Kitea's proactive care, reducing the high failure rate of traditional shunts. Overall, Kitea improves outcomes for patients, hospitals, and insurers by providing real-time data for better decision-making.
