Cosinuss cooperates in this year's Oktoberfest with the Aicher Ambulance Union. The startup equips all stretchers and inpatient areas with its technology – consisting of an in-ear sensor and the Cosinuss Health app. This allows paramedics to continuously monitor patients both during transport in the stretchers and in the treatment area of the first aid station.
The C-med-Alpha is a small, 6.5 g wearable sensor that continuously measures core body temperature, oxygen saturation, perfusion, and pulse rate. The Cosinuss Health app records these vital parameters and presents them clearly. Thanks to its location, constant blood flow, and positioning, the ear canal offers decisive advantages over other measurement sites for optical measurements. Furthermore, its proximity to the brain can be relevant for the interpretation of the measured values.
In recent years, Cosinuss' in-ear sensors have been used in various pilot projects. For example, COVID-19 and oncology patients were remotely monitored. Accompanying studies They particularly noted the reliability and accuracy of the measurements, the small and lightweight design of the sensor and its ease of use.
Scientific support for the project is also provided at the Oktoberfest. The Institute for Emergency Medicine and Medical Management at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich is conducting a study on the use of the technology provided by Cosinuss during the Oktoberfest.
