Universal has developed patented technology that represents a significant
advancement for effective, low cost, remote monitoring (tele-monitoring & wireless) of a wide variety of patients who have both chronic and non-chronic disease.
| Remote Auscultation Tele-Monitoring |
Hands-Free Operation |
Universal is the only company to offer its patented, hands-free
auscultation technology as either a stand-along monitor system, an upgrade to an existing system, or a plug in-module. Our technology is completely portable and can be used on a wide variety of existing monitors, wireless equipment, and tele-medicine systems.
For the first time a physician can perform
a hands-free auscultation assessment of a patient in an effective
and cost effective manner from a remote location. Everything
a physician can do in the office with a stethoscope can now
be done using our system with the patient being in
a remote location. The system uses advanced electronics to capture,
amplify, and transmit bio-acoustic signals from remote patients
who have a wide variety of disease states including:
| Cardiac Disease: |
Valvular disease, murmurs,
regurgitation, Prolapse, Stenosis, CHF |
| Pulmonary Disease: |
Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis,
Lung cancer, COPD |
| Digestive Tract: |
Bowel blockages, bowel
aneurisms |
| Peripheral
Vascular: |
Carotid
Stenosis, Bruits, vascular aneurisms |
| Unique BioAcoustic Sensors |
|
Our patented
BioPad™ 100 BioAcoustic sensors offer advanced acoustic
and dynamic response characteristics along with both
active and passive ambient noise cancellation. Our
sensors are light weight, easy to use, compliant to
the body, and reusable. Our sensors offer all the benefits
of traditional Bell and Diaphragm stethoscopes, as
well as Electronic Stethoscopes, plus additional features
and benefits. These additional benefits include peel-and-stick
application that allows for hands free auscultation.

| Windows™ Based Software |
Visual Acoustic Charts |
Universal’s
software (Windows™ compatible) allows healthcare providers
to easily store, retrieve, assess, display, and review both acoustic auscultation signals as well as synchronized,
multi-lead EKG signals (from the same patient). Patient
files can be easily managed, archived, and compared
to prior auscultation assessments in a measurable and
objective manner. Physicians can create and view graphic
representations of bio-acoustic sounds (see figure
1) that facilitate clinical assessment of disease states.

Ambient Noise Cancellation |
Universal has developed patented state-of-the-art electronics that employ both active and passive ambient noise cancellation for remote patient auscultation. This ensures that unwanted background noises, unwanted body noises, and other ambient noise is minimized to ensure that targeted heart and lung sounds (patient auscultation) are clear, accurate, and undistorted.
Our integrated system offers a turnkey solution for both the healthcare provider and patient. Our simple to use home monitor allows patients to conveniently affix our BioPad sensors, capture quality signals, and send the signals over the Internet or telephone line.
