A partnership between Medtronic and BioIntelliSense is shining a spotlight on the wearables space. The collaboration calls for Dublin-based Medtronic to distribute BioIntelliSense’s BioButton multi-parameter wearable, that is used for continuous, connected monitoring.

BioIntelliSense, a startup with backers including UCHealth and Royal Philips, recently raised $45 million. The company began marketing its sticker-like device to monitor patients’ vitals last year after getting FDA clearance at the end of 2019.
