Wireless activity monitor Vyntus™ WALK

wristwith GPS

Vyntus™ WALK allows patients to perform an untethered six-minute walk test (6MWT) by wearing wireless sensors that communicate data to a technician-held tablet PC. The system is both patient- and technician-friendly and because we know a single sensor does not fit all clinical needs, comes with an array of easy-to-wear sensors. Because standardizing the complete testing process is critical to meaningful data for patient trending, Jaeger Medical has integrated the complete ATS testing standards in the workflow-driven tablet software application.

The information provided in this site is intended for healthcare professionals. It is likely that multiple technicians will be asked to perform 6MWTs on patients. Without a strict, standardized protocol, each technician could slightly vary how they run the test, what commands they give the patient, and the parameters they record, all of which can lead to variable data that delivers less accurate data trends. Vyntus™ WALK is standardized to run the recommended American Thoracic Society (ATS) 6MWT protocol, because accurate comparison requires consistent testing that yields consistent data. One of the cardinal rules of a good 6MWT is to have the patient walk of their own volition. But if the patient is tethered to the technician by a pulse oximeter cable, and the technician is walking just behind the patient, the patient's performance can be directly influenced or affected.
