Idion was initially founded in 2017 by Dr. Pete Costantino with the vision of reimagining the hospital wristband with cutting edge features that would ease hospital workflow, promote comfort, and enable secure identification in and out of the hospital.
With the current options for remote patient monitoring being cumbersome and expensive, IDION’s mission is to provide a lower-cost, easy to use device that will make remote monitoring widely accessible for patients at little or no-cost to the healthcare provider.
As the emerging skin applied technology for healthcare providers, the IDION Shield will start with individual sectors and expand exponentially.
5 million
5 million Americans suffer congestive heart failure annually. For cardiac patients sent home after surgery, current remote patient monitoring solutions are prohibitively expensive.
50 million
50 million Americans suffer post- operative complications each year, and 1.5 million die from complications, many of which could have been mitigated through RPM.
16 million
16 million US adults suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) each year. These patients have a 30 day readmission rate of 22.6%.
IDION’s solution addresses pain points inside & outside of the hospital by offering a post discharge solution at zero cost, while providing hospitals with a new revenue opportunity.
