Intensive care window: A multi-modal monitoring tool for intensive care research and practice

Abstract

Intensive Care Units are widely considered as the most technologically advanced environments within a hospital. In such environments, physicians are confronted with multiple medical devices that monitor the inpatients. The capability to collect, store, process, and share inpatient monitoring data along with the remarks of the treating physicians can bring tremendous benefits to all aspects of Intensive Care Medicine (practice, research, education). The IC- Window makes it feasible for physicians to extract, view, store, and replay Clinically Interesting Episodes through simple, intuitive user interfaces. © 2007 IEEE.
