- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two wearable devices designed to monitor patient’s vital signs.

The FDA cleared an artificial intelligence-powered wearable device made by Current Health that monitors patient vital signs at the  hospital and at home.  

Current said it has partnered with six of the largest U.S. health systems, including Mount Sinai, and with several U.K. National Health Service trusts, assisting them in delivering healthcare at home to reduce readmissions and deaths.
