Clinomic creates a Bedside AI for Critical Care
Critical care is a vital part of the healthcare industry which deals with life-threatening injuries and illnesses. Patients in critical care units require strict and constant monitoring to ensure a successful recovery. The level of care required may not always be possible, especially when the hospitals are overburdened as is with the COVID-19 pandemic. HealthTech startups offer solutions that utilize AI to automate and personalize critical care.
German startup Clinomic creates a critical care application featuring an intelligent assistant – MONA. The assistant uses an AI chipset from NVIDIA, AI-powered microphones, a 60ghz radar from Infineon, a 180-degree 4K camera, and 5G connectivity. Further, MONA uses natural language processing to keep track of all clinical measurements and verbally communicates any required patient information. MONA reduces the burden on healthcare workers and reduces the overall cost of healthcare in critical care.
Respinor develops a Diaphragm Monitoring Device
Many patients in critical care units require mechanical ventilation, They are often at risk of permanent impairment to lung function due to the disruption of the normal cardiopulmonary physiology. Healthcare practices use treatments to restore normal breathing as soon as possible but lack effective solutions to gauge the optimal time to remove mechanical ventilation support.
Norweigan startup Respinor develops a non-invasive, ultrasound-based medical device for continuous diaphragm monitoring. RESPINOR, the startup’s device, uses ultrasounds to measure liver excursion as a proxy for diaphragm excursion. The startup’s technology eliminates the need for parameter evaluations by trained technicians.
Cohere Med enables Sepsis Detection
Sepsis detection generally requires the analysis of temperature, heart rate, breathing, and blood samples. However, analytical solutions tend to generate false positives due to the limited number of parameters. Healthcare startups are developing more advanced models to create better sepsis detection platforms.
Cohere Med is an Indian startup using advanced analytics for sepsis detection. Unlike traditional systems, the startup’s analytics engine uses a wide range of inputs for models specific to different scenarios. The system also uses clinical data of the patient in real-time to calculate the risk level of sepsis. Their solution reduces the overall time from when a patient is admitted to when they are discharged.
Omnicure creates a Tele-Critical Care solution
In recent years, there has been a growth in the number of telemedicine and remote healthcare startups. The shortage of skilled and specialized experts is none of the driving factors behind the trend. MedTech startups using electronic medical records (EMRs) and remote patient monitoring to offer tele-critical care solutions that reduce the burdens on the healthcare infrastructure.
Omnicure is a US-based startup that creates a tele-critical care solution to help optimize workflows. The startup’s solution enables real-time collaboration among healthcare workers, remote data access, and EMR integration. The solution lowers the burden on intensive care specialists while improving the standard of care for the patients.
Cloudphysican develops a Smart Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Intensivists are a crucial requirement in any critical care unit, however, due to its specialized requirements, there are only a limited number of available intensivists. This problem is compounded in small and medium-scale hospitals that typically lack the necessary finances to compete with larger institutions. Startups are using telemedicine and e-health solutions to solve the manpower challenges in intensive care.
Indian HealthTech startup Cloudphysican develops RADAR, a tele-ICU platform. The platform digitizes and analyzes patient data, allowing intensivists to remotely interact with patients and make clinical decisions. RADAR allows intensivists to treat a large number of patients while maintaining high standards of service. Additionally, the solution also reduces the dependence on personal protection equipment by consulting experts.
