AQUARATE

Fluid balance might not sound like something particularly detrimental to a patient’s health, but dehydration costs the NHS over a billion pounds a year within the UK. The current fluid balance monitoring system comprises of nurses verbally asking their patients how much they have had to drink that day and then writing it down. Unsurprisingly, this is highly inaccurate and time-consuming. Working with Nova, the Aquarate co-founding team created a suite of sensor-based products which digitise existing NHS processes and increase the quality of patient care. Aquarate is working with leading hospitals across the UK, including the Liverpool Royal.
