Incremed Guard warning surgical personnel when sterility is at risk in the OR
More than 25% of all hospital related infections are Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) which endanger the lives of millions of surgical patients each year. SSIs worsen clinical outcomes, extend hospital stays, lead to re-surgeries and increase drug intake. All these facts increase healthcare costs dramatically and could be prevented by taking appropriate measures.
Human errors leading to potential infections and complications can be prevented – even before they happen. Constant monitoring during surgeries distracts from focusing on the patient and results in additional cognitive load for the personnel. Allowing medical staff to fully focus on the patient improve outcomes and safety.
Incremed Guard is a monitoring and warning system. It helps to prevent SSIs by supporting medical personnel to protect the sterile field in the operating room (OR). The system is constantly monitoring and tracking the position of everyone present in the OR. Whenever someone unauthorized gets too close to the sterile field, Incremed Guard warns that the sterility of the protected area is at risk.
Incremed Guard is the first system protecting the sterile field in the OR using visual computing and advanced sensor technology for patient safety. Leveraging the computational power, the tracking AI brings cognitive computing to the OR.
