Stores all patient and device data in a single data pool and provides them for the use of healthcare professionals.
AKGUN iVital Intensive Care Unit Automation System
Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are the units where patients with critical condition receive treatment. ICUs have complex processes with high cost and they require expertise. Applications and treatments performed in these units are shaped according to the high volume data coming from related units and systems.
With AKGUN iVital Health Information Communication Platform, physiological data produced by various devices in Intensive Care Units can be stored in a single repository, virtualized according to certain criteria, instantly examined by responsible doctors and/or nurses, and based on these vital signs various score calculations can be performed for each patient. Furthermore, it is provided to calculate the vital data trends of the patient with the determined periods on the stored data, and to transmit the early alarms and warnings to the responsible doctors and nurses on the basis of previously defined criteria.
