Caretaker Medical

Caretaker Medical manufactures VitalStream ART, a dual-modality continuous hemodynamic monitoring platform for ICU, operating room, and high-acuity care settings. The device delivers beat-by-beat hemodynamic data through both invasive arterial line connectivity and non-invasive wearable sensors, enabling clinicians to monitor patients from pre-operative assessment through discharge. VitalStream operates as a unified platform compatible with standard arterial lines (no proprietary transducers required) and integrates with GE Carescape and Philips Intellivue monitors. The wearable sensor provides up to 10 days of continuous monitoring without cabling, supporting patient mobility across care phases. Clinical validation includes 20 peer-reviewed studies documenting accuracy in surgical, ICU, and critical care populations. The company reports deployment in 150+ clinical customers across 20+ hospitals. VitalStream is FDA-cleared and CE-marked. Key clinical benefits include early detection of hemodynamic decompensation (cardiac output decline, missed hypotensive events), reduced acute kidney injury and myocardial injury post-surgery, and cost savings up to $300k annually per ICU room versus competing invasive systems. Operational setup requires under 90 seconds with no complex configuration.
