Digitising Healthcare | New iPad-based Early Warning System for Hospital Patient Monitoring

Описание: Handwritten medical observation charts could become a thing of the past in hospitals with the development of a pioneering patient monitoring system developed in Oxford hospitals.

Since 2011 the vital signs of thousands of patients from Oxford and Banbury are now routinely recorded using paper based track and trigger charts which help identify when #medical care needs to be escalated. These charts have already improved #patient outcomes as problems are spotted more quickly.

The paper based system is by no means perfect though, and so a research team led by Professor Lionel Tarrasenko at the University of Oxford's institute of #Biomedical #Engineering has come up with an electronic version of the track and trigger system. With funding from the EPSRC the team set out to design a simple computer driven system that could record more accurately a patient's vital signs, while at the same time easing the pressure on nurses.
