Baxter - wyzwania
The company is keen to create an integrated medical data monitoring and management system, based on modern intelligent medical devices such as hospital beds with built-in sensors and wristbands that monitor patients’ basic vital signs. Data extracted from these devices will feed into the hospital’s information systems (HIS and CIS), enabling advanced analysis and decision-making support.
Key functionalities of the system
1. Real-time monitoring and data collection:
- Use of smart medical devices such as wristbands and sensor beds to continuously measure basic vital signs (e.g. heart rate, blood pressure, saturation, temperature).
- Real-time data collection and transmission to a central HIS/CIS system.
2. Data analysis and early warning system:
- Creation of benchmark health trends for each patient based on the collected data.
- Development of algorithms for Early Warning Scores, signalling deterioration in a patient’s condition.
3. Data integration:
- Building a data collector that integrates information from different devices and systems, such as HIS, CIS, and patient-worn devices.
- Creation of data transfer standards in line with medical interoperability guidelines (e.g. HL7, FHIR).
4. Communication with medical staff:
- Building a dashboard for medical staff, presenting key patient health data in real time.
- Provide a notification system for critical changes in patient status.
5. Supporting early response teams:
- Integration of the system with procedures and tools used by early response teams.
- Automatic transmission of key information and alerts regarding patients in a life-threatening condition.
