Core clinical engineering and protocols for Alarm Fatigue Mitigation.
ICU environments generate hundreds of alarms per bed each day, with up to 90% representing false positives or clinically insignificant transient events. This sensory overload leads to desensitization, missed genuine crises, and clinician burnout.
SmartIoMT suppresses false alarms by correlating multiple independent sensors: if a pulse oximeter indicates a sudden oxygen drop but the ECG waveform shows a stable, rhythmic heartbeat and the accelerometer detects vigorous patient brushing, the system recognizes a motion artifact rather than cardiac arrest.
