On my way back to Boston from this year’s Society of Critical Care Medicine conference, I cannot stop reflecting on the first time I attended this meeting back in 2015. It was in Phoenix, Arizona, a nice break from the cold Boston weather, just two weeks before the Super Bowl was held there. Besides the Patriots winning another Super Bowl, so much has changed between 2015 and 2019.  Back in…

In critical care environments, we are accustomed to seeing vital signs constantly rising and falling but a new study shows why doctors may not be seeing the full picture. Information Loss of Vital Physiologic Data in Critically Ill Patients outlines why the most fragile patients can also be the most susceptible to electronic health record errors. The study compared the information captured in the vital signs manually recorded in the EHR…

Education, experience, and intuition play a key role in how decisions are made around interventions and treatment selection for patients. But these decisions can only be as good as the data that was used to draw the assessment of the patient.  With more than 40 vital signs simultaneously reporting new measurements every second, critical care clinicians are drenched in data. For example, the 42-bed critical care unit at SickKids in…

There are more than 32,000 babies diagnosed with congenital heart defects each year in the United States alone. A quarter of these newborns will undergo some type of invasive procedure, surgery, or catheterization in the first year of life.  The tremendous advancements of pediatric cardiology in the last 30 years means that today more than 99% of these patients are expected to survive, with the prospect that with each coming year…

At Etiometry, we believe that biomedical device data should not be difficult to obtain. That’s why the new waveform capabilities available as an add-on to our T3 Data Aggregation & Visualization software allows hospitals to easily capture and store high-frequency physiology data such as ECG information. This advancement allows medical researchers to access high-frequency biomedical device data to gain further insight into different physiological processes. Hospitals can now capture high-resolution…

As we wind down another year I find it helpful to look back at the past 12 months as a method of looking forward into what to expect over the next year. This has been a tremendous year for Etiometry, and I’m grateful for all the experiences we’ve had deploying the Etiometry Platform and helping customers reduce costs and improve care in pediatric ICUs. We began the year by announcing…

There has been a longstanding vision in the digital health industry of what it means to be an analytics platform, and it goes like this: get as much of the data as possible and give it to applications that can transform it to clinical insights. In this single-focus philosophy, anyone who can get to the data claims to have a platform as long as they enable other applications to provide…

I recently had the privilege of touring the Airbus final assembly line in Toulouse, France and had the opportunity to remind myself how complex, fascinating, and impressive it is to build an aircraft. There is nothing more exciting for an aerospace engineer than to see the product of millions of hours of development and manufacturing split between dozens of countries and see tens-of-thousands of parts come together into a marvel…

In 2016, Etiometry received U.S. Food & Drug (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the first of our Risk Analytics Algorithms. The Inadequate Oxygen Delivery (IDO2) Index is the first of many Etiometry algorithms that we are bringing to market. With our IDO2 algorithm embedded within the Etiometry platform, doctors and nurses can quickly assess the risk of inadequate oxygen delivery alongside traditional measures of the patient’s status in a manner that clearly visualizes…
