The University of the Philippines (UP) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has developed the RxBox Biomedical Device which is Proudly Philippine made by company Ionics EMS Inc. in Laguna.
These RxBoxes can measure a Patient’s Temperature, Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Oxygen Saturation, Uterine Contractions (if applicable), and Electrocardiogram Readings. These were originally intended to be used in far flung areas of the Country, but has instead been diverted to fight the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak.
106 units were recently delivered to the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) and another 894 units are for distribution to other Healthcare Facilities. I hope more will be produced and the far flung areas of the Country will also be eventually be provided also. Proudly Philippine made!!!
