Real-Time Clinical Informatics

We have accumulated strong expertise is comprehensive clinical data collection, such as
vital sign data recording (VSDR) system for real-time automatic patient data collection from
pre-hospital (Ambulances, Helicopters) to the bed side (Resuscitation, OR, PACU and ICU’s).

We have developed innovative applications to exploit the real-time data for difference purposes. We developed sophisticated signal processing methods to integrate real-time clinical sensor information (VS, Video, Alarm) for enhance real-time operation and research. One example is based on the live OR patient vital signs, automatic mapping it to the patient In / Out status for OR management. The following are our key expertise areas.

Pre and In Hospital Real-Time Patient Vital Signs and Events Data Collection Systems.
Interfacing technology to auto communicating with patient monitors, measuring devices.
Networking and integrating diverse medical data sources in real-time systems.
Algorithms to process data to support decision making in real time.
Integrated multimedia networks for telemedicine, disaster management and home

Active projects in Real-Time Clinical Informatics are:

  • Real-time patient and key event data acquisition and processing in pre-hospital settings (Vital Signs Data Recorder-VSDR)
  • Automated status display for operating room management (VBS)
  • Signal acquisition and processing to monitor patients with traumatic brain injury
  • Integrated video-audio data acquisition in trauma and surgery( VASNET )
  • Telemedicine testbed (Telecontrol Center).
