Patient monitor on iPhone
POD'S turns an iPhone into a compact patient monitor: NIBP, SpO₂, SpCO, lab values and simplified AED, all controlled remotely by the trainer. Ideal for mobile training, first aid and quick demos.
What it is
The VitalX POD'S housing holds the monitor iPhone and its accessories — blood-pressure cuff, SpO₂/SpCO cable, AED pad — to recreate a realistic workstation in a format that fits in a pouch. The trainer controls the vital signs and the case progression from an iPad, an iPhone or the web trainer mode.
Real-time synchronisation over Wi-Fi or tethering, with a session code: several POD'S units can follow the same scenario.
On screen
Heart rate, SpO₂, SpCO and NIBP, with the mean arterial pressure calculated.
Blood glucose, ketones, lactate and haemoglobin, displayed as on a field meter.
Dynamic plethysmography, normal or degraded trace depending on the scenario.
Inflation sound, result displayed at the end of the measurement, just like on a real blood pressure monitor.
Analysis, simulated shock and CPR metronome, right on the iPhone.
Wi-Fi or 4G/5G tethering, session code, several monitors on the same case.
What’s included
The Pro pack adds an 11" iPad dedicated to trainer control. In both cases, the lifetime POD'S licence is included.
The monitor on its own — you control it from your own device or the web.
The complete setup, ready to come out of the pouch.
Hardware
High-strength 3D printing, designed for the iPhone and cable routing.

Finger sensor, SpO₂ and SpCO displayed on the monitor side.
