Philips provides Belgian Maria Middelares hospital with innovative monitoring solutions to help improve patient care

By automatically acquiring vital signs data from its specified and network-connected medical devices, Philips IntelliVue Guardian helps caregivers identify subtle signs of patient deterioration early, often hours before an adverse event occurs. The solution also contains intelligent clinical decision support algorithms that allow caregivers to obtain vital signs data and integrate it with the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR). Validated patient data can be sent directly to the EMR, helping to reduce human error and save time. As soon as the system detects a patient deterioration, a notification can automatically be sent to the appropriate caregiver’s smartphone, enabled by Philips’ innovative CareEvent event management mobile app.
