Chennai: Apollo hospitals group launched an indigenously developed automated, rapid-response patient monitoring system. The system is designed to monitor and will proactively alert a team of experts if it anticipates an unexpected deterioration in patient health. The new continuous monitoring platform will help to improve timely intervention with the right experts thus ensuring significant improvement in patient’s condition management and health outcome.

Apollo’s technology enabler HealthNet Global has developed this custom designed state-of-the-art remote and continuous monitoring platform integrated with advanced medical devices and wearables that transmits patient health data and provides easy access to the care providers at three different levels to ensure no critical event is missed and patient safety is ensured.

“Its AI enabled early warning score and alert system help the timely intervention of clinicians thus providing enhanced care to patients. The monitoring system platform has been trained on hospitals’ vast and comprehensive remote-health program and has been on field trials across Hyderabad and Chennai. Within two months of the trial, both centres have seen the system provide efficiency in nursing care and a reduction in unexpected complications. The system is a combination of hardware, and advanced software directly integrated into the patient’s monitoring systems coupled with highly trained healthcare experts working in tandem to provide the most sophisticated monitoring system, backed up by rapid clinical response, in the country. Apollo is now expanding this system across its network of hospitals and will invest over 12 million USD in the next three years,” a statement added.

The platform access enables nurses, the PreMET team as well as doctors to monitor patient health from nurse stations, their mobiles and also from a regional command centre.
