PODCAST: Masimo CEO Bets Smart Glasses Are The Future Of Patient Monitoring

When Masimo chairman and CEO Joe Kiani saw Atheer's smart glasses and virtual reality platform, he thought the possibilities for patient monitoring were endless. Now the two companies have joined forces and are moving quickly to turn virtual reality into a clinical reality with a prototype interactive display and novel patient monitoring system that they say has the power to transform health care and the market for patient monitoring, which is estimated at more than $2 billion in the US alone according to an upcoming report from Medtech Insight.

Irvine, CA-based Masimo Corp., a market leader in pulse oximetry and other non-invasive patient monitoring technologies, and augmented-interactive reality company Atheer Labs unveiled a prototype app and information display at the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) annual conference in San Diego in October that uses virtual reality, see-through smart glasses and touch-free controls to allow clinicians to see and interact with critical patient data all while visualizing and caring for the patient. In an exclusive podcast interview with Medtech Insight, Masimo chairman and CEO Joe Kiani and Atheer founder and chief technology officer Soulaiman Itani discuss these technologies, why they decided to combine patient monitoring with virtual reality and what's next for these devices.
