On the other hand, Kellogg also mentioned their patient monitoring platform called Vitalsight.

"Vitalsight is our patient monitoring platform, our patient monitoring solution for the U.S. It's designed specifically for the U.S. because of the way healthcare is delivered here," said OMRON's president.

Now, Kellogg also explained how Vitalsight works. He said that they use Vitalsight to provide a kit that has a blood pressure monitor and a cellular hub.

Patients can receive this kit through their physicians. Ranndy also said that a cellular hub is essential since it allows consumers to efficiently use their kits because many U.S. residents don't have WiFi.

OMRON Exploration AI's Potential

Aside from Vitalsight, Kellogg also mentioned that OMRON is trying to explore the use of AI in its healthcare technologies.

He confirmed that they recently entered a partnership with Kyoto University, which is quite easy since this school is just in their "backyard."

OMRON's CEO further stated that they are now looking at all the data around various health factors affecting people's hearts. These include weight, physical activity, smoking habits, eating habits, and more.

He added that they could use these medical details together with an AI platform. If you want to see more about the latest exclusive interview of Tech Times with CEO Ranndy Kellogg, you can watch the video below.
