Healthtech Leader Using Transparent AI to
Eliminate Non-Actionable Alarms in ICUs Also Received GeekWire “UX
Design of the Year” in 2023
CalmWave, the leader in eliminating non-actionable alarms
through data science and Transparent AI, today announced it has won
the prestigious “Health Innovation of the Year” at the 2024
GeekWire Awards. The “Health Innovation of the Year” award
showcases pioneering health, life science, biotechnology, or
medical breakthroughs that illustrate how technology is
transforming healthcare and that hold great promise for bettering
our lives or improving healthcare. This honor marks CalmWave’s
second consecutive GeekWire Award, following last year's accolade
for UX Design of the Year.
“We are honored to be named Geekwire’s ‘Healthcare Innovation of
the Year.’ Technology has the potential to have a transformative
impact on healthcare, and we are grateful for GeekWire’s commitment
to spotlighting the companies that are doing this work,” said Ophir
Ronen, founder and CEO of CalmWave. “Our vision is for a healthcare
system where technology and human expertise come together
seamlessly for the greater good. We are doing this with our
Operations Health AI platform that captures, analyzes, and
synthesizes real-time data from dozens of different medical devices
in order to empower hospitals with the intelligence critical to
improving patient outcomes, optimizing operations, and retaining
staff.”
Rooted in decades of Enterprise IT expertise, CalmWave is the
world’s first Transparent AI-powered platform for healthcare.
CalmWave uses Transparent AI to analyze hospital data and minimize
alarms in the ICU, objectively reducing alarm fatigue and nurse
burnout. The platform ingests the hospital’s high-frequency data
from diverse sources, including electronic medical record systems,
on-network medical devices, and patient vital signs, and distills
that data into actionable information.
CalmWave reduces non-actionable alarms by as much as 83 percent
when compared to the same number of manual alarm limit adjustments.
Doing so empowers clinicians with the information they need
whenever they need it, supporting mission-critical decision-making
in the ICU and improving nurse retention.
