[Case Study] Integration of Medical Devices in the ICU with Core Systems
A leading medical practice in the US
The Context
Access to comprehensive patient information is vital in the clinical decision-making process. In the hospital ICU environment, patient care generates massive amount of data that is recorded through various bedside monitors. A typical ICU patient may be hooked up to six or more bedside devices of different kinds from different vendors running different software. The ability to integrate, aggregate, and analyze this data is therefore a tedious and time-consuming process and can be life critical, where split-second decisions are to be made.
The Need
- A remote patient monitoring system
- Applies automated techniques to aggregate high-resolution diagnostic and therapeutic data from bedside monitors of ICU patients
- Present meaningful data to care givers
