Casana company profile

Casana is changing the way healthcare does business with a smart toilet seat that enables effortless, integrated, and consistent in-home health monitoring. The Heart Seat™ captures key clinical measurements, including heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygenation, to assist medical teams with monitoring chronic conditions beyond the four walls of the hospital. The Heart Seat will be a FDA-cleared medical device focused on managing chronic conditions. The seat currently has three key sensors: 1. ECG (Electrocardiogram) - A single-lead ECG made up of two electrodes measure the electrical activity of the heart. 2. PPG (Photoplethysmogram)v- Red and infrared LEDs are embedded into the seat and function similar to a standard finger pulse oximeter measuring the local blood volume. 3. BCG (Ballistocardiogram) - Four sensitive weight sensors are embedded in the bumpers of the seat which measure the mechanical activity of the heart.
