Ongoing Health Monitoring
Across Senior Care
The Vital Buddy wearable monitors vitals across all levels of senior care, giving staff, families, and physicians timely visibility into resident health data.
Eligible for reimbursement under Medicare RPM codes
Vital Buddy works across every level of care.
Comfortable, Ongoing Monitoring
Residents can wear the Vital Buddy either a few hours each day or around the clock. No interruptions during meals, activities, or sleep, just ongoing visibility into each resident's wellbeing.
Give Staff Their Time Back
Reduce manual vital checks and paper logs. When your team spends less time gathering data, they spend more time with residents, building the human connections that truly define great care.
Keep Care Teams Informed of Vital Changes
Threshold-based notifications share notable vital sign changes with your team, supporting timely review and follow-up with physicians.
Stand Out with VitalFriend Certified
Earn a credential that families actively look for. VitalFriend Certified signals that your facility goes above and beyond, with a genuine differentiator when families are comparing options.
Compliance on Autopilot
Automated documentation, one-click regulatory submissions, and custom reports keep your facility audit-ready every day. No scrambling, no gaps, just clean, accurate records.
May Be Insurance Eligible
Both the Vital Buddy device and the VitalFriend monitoring service may be eligible for reimbursement through Medicare RPM and certain private insurance plans, subject to plan requirements.
“My husband's in IT, so he's always pushing digital. We started with Vital Buddy last July, and it was a game-changer. No more manual blood pressure readings before and after every med because when you're doing it solo, that time really adds up.”
• Cindy, Assisted Living Facility Owner in Florida

Real words from the people
who use it every day
My mom has been wearing her Vital Buddy for almost a year now. It takes her blood pressure every 4 hours every day. She tracks her BP and records her stats. If her BP is high, she tells me and then she initiates her relaxation techniques. We retake her blood pressure in 15 mins and it is always much lower.

I'm extremely happy with my Vital Buddy! I have it set to take my blood pressure every 4 hours and track my daily steps. It's a really convenient way for me to ensure I hit my health goals.

My Vital Buddy has been very helpful for me every day. I check my blood pressure and other metrics, and really like that I have accurate time/date for every reading. Vital Buddy has made me more confident about my health.
