FDA approval granted to Aevice Health for their wearable pediatric stethoscope gadget
Aevice Health's AeviceMD Cleared for Pediatric Use, Advancing Home-Based Respiratory Care
Aevice Health's flagship medical device, AeviceMD, has received FDA 510(k) clearance for use in pediatric patients aged 3 years and above, marking a significant step forward in home-based respiratory disease management.
The AeviceMD, a smart wearable stethoscope designed for remote monitoring of lung sounds, is currently deployed across leading hospitals in the U.S. and Singapore. As a hospital-at-home tool, it supports earlier interventions, reduces readmissions, and extends care beyond traditional clinical settings.
The device's all-in-one sensor design integrates sensors capable of capturing detailed lung sounds suitable for clinical-grade respiratory monitoring. Its remote monitoring capability allows continuous or on-demand collection of lung sound data outside the hospital setting, enabling early detection and management of respiratory conditions in children.
The AeviceMD provides clinicians with hospital-quality insights at home, enhancing telemedicine and reducing the need for frequent hospital visits. By tailoring specifically to pediatric patients, it helps in managing chronic respiratory diseases or acute respiratory events remotely, potentially improving patient outcomes through timely intervention.
Adrian Ang, CEO of Aevice Health, stated that this clearance extends their reach to young children and is a major step forward in their commitment to reshape home-based respiratory disease management. The benefits of soft skin adhesives using silicone elastomer technology, a key feature of the AeviceMD, have been highlighted in "Medical Plastics Insights".
Aevice Health plans to accelerate its commercialization efforts following this pediatric clearance, with a focus on expanding enterprise partnerships and home care programs. The company recently closed its Seed Plus round, led by Coronet Ventures, the U.S. venture arm of Cedars-Sinai Intellectual Property.
In other news, AccurKardia has received FDA breakthrough device designation for its AI-powered hyperkalemia detection solution. This designation is featured in "Digital Health & AI News". Additionally, electronRx is set to launch a smartphone app for remote lung function monitoring.
