Meet Open Call 1 Winner EMMA – Emergency Clinical Support
EMMA minimises physicians’ burnout in Emergency Departments by providing optimised patients’ triage and monitoring.
The Problem:
The overcrowding of the Emergency Department (ED) (which was amplified during the Covid-19 pandemic) is directly responsible for patient harm and health system dysfunction.
The Solution:
The wearable device, EMMA, enables real-time recording of blood oxygen saturation, respiration and heart rate and body temperature, utilising the advantages of edge computing, ensuring data privacy, security while minimising latency. Combined with Vidavo’s Vida24© web and mobile applications, which are CE class II.a certified chronic disease management solution, EMMA assists ED personnel to triage incoming patients more effectively. It informs clinicians on the prediction estimates (in the form of probabilities) of a patient´s need for hospitalisation and being admitted to the ICU, creating a critical stratification of patients. It is a support algorithm that, simply put, saves lives. In addition, the system estimates the duration of hospitalisation needed per patient (based on patients’ demographics if available, using ML algorithms), which allows for more efficient hospital resource management.
End-user:
EMMA mobile application is used by healthcare personnel to register and monitor patients’ medical condition or connect with the hospital’s EHR systems, whereas the web application offers insights and statistics about patients’ medical data and analytics regarding patients’ waiting time, hospitalizations, and ICU admissions.
