Vitalthings Guardian M10
The patient monitor of the future for complex challenges
Contactless multiparameter
patient monitor
Guardian M10 offers continuous and precise monitoring of vital parameters. The system monitors respiratory rate and breathing patterns contactlessly, without the need for physical sensors. Additionally, pulse and oxygen saturation can be monitored wirelessly using the Nonin WristOx pulse oximeter. In addition, we are planning an upgrade to enable contactless pulse monitoring as well.
The product is CE-marked in accordance with EU MDR (2017/745) risk class IIb. Vitalthings Guardian M10 is designed with an intuitive user interface, making it easy to use even for healthcare personnel with minimal experience with monitoring equipment.
Improved Patient Safety with Vitalthings Guardian M10
Real-Time Status Overview
Contactless and continuous monitoring ensures that staff always have an overview of the status, development, and trends of their patients. The system also monitors presence and levels of movement/restlessness.
Direct Mobile Alarms
Traditional monitoring systems primarily alarm next to the patient. Vitalthings Guardian M10 can send alarms directly to the nurse's phone, allowing them to handle the alarm before it activates in the traditional manner.
Contactless and Cable-Free
The system is entirely contactless, and monitoring begins when the patient is within the measuring area. For healthcare proffssionals, this means time saved on setup, and for patients, it means less discomfort from cumbersome equipment.
Developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals and patients
Vitalthings Guardian M10 is the result of the Autoskår project, an innovative collaboration between Vitalthings, St. Olavs Hospital, and DNV Imatis. The goal was to develop a monitoring solution that enhances patient safety, streamlines treatment processes, and optimizes the use of personnel resources.
Through close collaboration with users, we have successfully developed a solution that is carefully tailored to clinical needs. The result is a patient monitor that provides precise, continuous monitoring of the patient's vital parameters, with a user interface that is intuitive and easy to integrate into existing workflows.

Designed to
Avoid Alarm Fatigue
False alarms, errors, and irrelevant clinical and technical alarms can lead to alarm fatigue for those working with continuous monitoring. Vitalthings Guardian M10 is designed with evidence-based measures to minimize the number of alarms. This also reduces noise in the environment.
The alarm system is designed to be easily adaptable to the departments in which it operates—rather than the other way around. With over 500,000 days of sensor data and several thousand hours of comparative data measured against the gold standard, we are uniquely positioned to understand how different settings impact this important issue.
Would you like to know more about how hospitals can utilize the technology?
Mobile and Flexible
Can be moved to where the need arises or to areas that are not permanently adapted for patient care (corridors, isolation rooms, halls, disaster areas, etc.).
Has its own battery with over 14 hours of operation before a replacement is needed. The battery can be easily replaced with a 'hot-swap,' ensuring continuous operation and monitoring, even for several days if necessary.
Wall-Mounted
Suited for fixed bed positions. You can customize and adjust the sensor system's measurement range from the bed, chair, or parts of the patient's room.
Additional Advantages
Hardware built for the future
Vitalthings Guardian M10 is constructed with advanced sensor and alarm systems, empowered by substantial processing capabilities.
In addition to being a standalone, fully functional alarm system with built-in sound and LED alerts, Vitalthings Guardian M10 has a backup battery, storage, and its own sensors to detect any changes in position during patient monitoring. The system also includes significant processing power, allowing us to run advanced algorithms for accurate and robust measurements, as well as new features currently under development.
Customized user interface
Our system is designed so that healthcare professionals unfamiliar with patient monitoring can intuitively understand it.
The screen of the Vitalthings Guardian M10 is custom-built by the esteemed company Advantech. In practical terms, it serves as the interface that healthcare professionals rely on for initiating measurements, managing alarms and events, as well as reviewing crucial data. The development process has been dedicated to building intuitive and uncluttered menus, with a deliberate avoidance of unnecessary complexity.
The screen also provides convenient access to a user-friendly quick guide and user manual. The user interface is thoughtfully designed with a strong emphasis on safeguarding privacy, incorporating a host of contemporary solutions to ensure the confidentiality of information in demanding healthcare environments.
Accurate measurements achieved with wideband radar technology
This implies that the system can non-invasively and consistently capture every subtle movement within the measurement area, irrespective of the patient's position—whether they are lying on their stomach, side, back, sitting, under covers, or fully clothed.
Through advanced signal processing and our proprietary algorithms, the signals from the wideband radar are transformed into information about respiratory movements and pulse (coming The system can measure how fast or slow the patient is breathing and also how the patient is breathing, for example, shallow, obstructed (COPD/asthma exacerbations), or restricted airways, etc. This is a functionality we plan to add to the system after the initial approval round.
Engineered with the latest IT security standards
Through our collaboration with Advantech, we have access to a secure and verified platform for "over the air" software updates.
Over-the-air updates offer an efficient and swift method to maintain equipment consistently updated, a pivotal requirement for robust security. Furthermore, this approach circumvents any disruption to hospital personnel during logistical operations.
The system can function autonomously or seamlessly integrate into a broader system, enabling alarm transmission through an API. Data can be stored in the patient's health record. We are working with several integration partners (DNV Imatis, Ascom, and Bestgroup In our collaborative effort with Autoskår, we've successfully developed an integration with health record provider, Epic.
Possible addition: Wireless pulse oximetry
If you in addition to contactless monitoring wish to add wireless monitoring of pulse oximetry, you can easily connect the sensor to the system.
Cost-Efficient Solutions with Environmental Benefits
Vitalthings Guardian M10 has no wear and tear parts that need to be replaced, and no consumables. Additionally, the system can be installed in a way that eliminates the need for cleaning, as opposed to close-to-body equipment that requires cleaning between each patient.
This accumulates significant cost and environmental savings over time. Furthermore, we employ sustainable packaging and produce the devices in Norway to minimize unnecessary transportation and assembly in multiple stages.
Our Development Partners
Vitalthings Guardian M10 is the result of an innovation partnership with Helse Midt-Norge, the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN), and cooperating municipalities, represented by Malvik municipality.
Vitalthings was selected to develop and implement the solution in collaboration with DNV Imatis, a recognized and established international leader in healthcare software and technological infrastructure.
