Patient monitoring has become centralised at the State-run Victoria Hospital’s Trauma and Emergency Care Centre (TECC) that has adopted remote patient monitoring solutions to continuously monitor 144 patients in all the general beds.
These patients, who were earlier monitored manually every couple of hours, are now monitored through contactless sensors powered by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based triaging system.
TECC special officer Deepak S. said this system enables continuous (more than 100 times per hour) and accurate monitoring of a patient’s heart rate, respiratory rate, and other clinical parameters like sleep pattern and myocardial performance metrics ,without coming in contact with the patient.
