HealthWatch

HealthWatch Technologies is a medical device company based in Kfar Saba, Israel, that specializes in sensor and analytics technology. The company develops and markets a technology platform based on textile medical sensors for healthcare institutions. Their core product is the Master Caution® platform, which features the first and only 12-lead ECG smart digital garment to receive both CE and FDA clearance.

The company was established in response to the understanding that delays in medical response can be critical. The management team includes individuals with extensive experience in the medical device and technology sectors. Co-founder Amos Shattner has over 30 years of managerial experience in global industries. Other key personnel include Noam Band, who has a background in managing software companies, and Prof. David Hasdai, the Director of the Coronary Care Unit at the Rabin Medical Center in Israel.

HealthWatch operates with both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) models. The company partners with traditional healthcare providers like hospitals and nursing homes to improve patient management, prevent readmissions, and enable real-time responses to acute patient events. The technology allows for continuous remote monitoring of various vital signs, including 12-lead ECG, heart rate, skin temperature, and respiration. This data is transmitted to a cloud-based or on-premises server, notifying patients and medical professionals of emergencies. The smart garments are designed to be comfortable, non-intrusive, and machine washable.
