Partners Connected Health will conduct a clinical validation study to evaluate the accuracy
of measurement for each vital sign with the Vital Moto Mod platform, compared to appropriate
reference devices used in the hospital setting. The study will recruit volunteers from the

of measurement for each vital sign with the Vital Moto Mod platform, compared to appropriate
reference devices used in the hospital setting. The study will recruit volunteers from the
Partners Healthcare network of clinics and hospitals and the general public.
To assess the comparative clinical performance of the Vital Moto Mod device in the
measurement of five vital signs (body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen
saturation and blood pressure) in correlation with a reference device used in the hospital
environment for vital sign measurement.
Vital sign measurement is a core process in delivering healthcare. Body temperature,
respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure are some of the most
frequently measured vital signs in inpatient as well as outpatient encounters. Currently,
separate devices exist for measurement of each of these vital signs, each of which may have
to be measured several times in a day. Consequently, measurement of vital signs is a time and
human resource intensive process. Moreover, most of the devices currently used to measure
vital signs cannot transmit data to the electronic medical record of patient, thereby
creating opportunities for human error. VVVital USA has used proprietary sensor technology to
develop Vital Moto Mod - a vital sign measurement platform that can non-invasively measure
body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure from a
person's index finger, and allows this information to be pushed into their electronic
medical/health record from the point of care
The primary market focus use of the Vital Moto Mod is to replace the vital sign cart in
hospitals. Vital sign carts are expensive and cumbersome to move around the hospital. At a
fraction of the cost, the Vital Moto Mod provides the same functionality including bar code
scanning at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, the Vital Moto Mod can also be used at home
without the need for a trained nurse. The Vital Moto Mod App will guide a user through the
workflow of performing the measurements. The Vital Moto Mod is connected to a smartphone for
storage, and has a USB interface for charging, thereby requiring no electrical connections
during use. All measurements are taken by the device independent of the phone.
