nursing shortages are here to stay. we're here to help
Healthcare systems are no longer navigating a temporary staffing disruption. They are operating within a sustained structural constraint defined by chronic nursing shortages, rising labor costs, and increasing accountability for outcomes across inpatient and outpatient environments. Clinical teams are being asked to manage higher acuity patients with fewer available hours, while financial leaders face mounting pressure to control cost without compromising safety, quality, or access to care.
At the center of this challenge is a workflow that hasn't changed significantly in decades. Manual vital sign collection remains one of the most labor-intensive and structurally embedded responsibilities in healthcare delivery. Nurses spend up to and sometimes in excess of 20% of their shifts measuring and documenting vitals, often on fixed schedules that provide only intermittent insight into patients' conditions. This model consumes scarce clinical capacity while still leaving gaps in visibility that can delay intervention when deterioration begins.
Senphonix was created to address this challenge directly. The SleeveSense platform automates vital sign collection and enables continuous physiological monitoring without adding tasks, devices to manage, or workflows to supervise. Heart rate, respiration, temperature, motion, and in the future, other biosignals, are captured passively, allowing clinicians to maintain visibility into patient status without relying on manual rounds. Monitoring continues seamlessly across inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting safer transitions and extending insight beyond the hospital stay. The result is not simply more data, but more usable time and earlier awareness.
Independent research conducted by MarketWise reinforces the urgency of this model. In a nationwide study of 402 nurses, 98% indicated they saw clear value in automated continuous monitoring and would support adoption of SleeveSense within their healthcare organization. Respondents consistently emphasized that automation, rather than incremental efficiency, is what makes adoption viable in already overextended care environments. Recovered time was viewed as the most meaningful outcome, enabling nurses to focus on assessment, intervention, and patient engagement.
