Stel passively and securely connects the device data to their care team’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) or preferred platform without risking Protected Health Information (PHI) or complicated workflows. 

Product Description:
Sickbay is an FDA-cleared clinical platform providing hospitals with the only vendor-neutral, integrated patient monitoring solution in healthcare. Sickbay consolidates disparate sourced, time-sequenced patient monitoring data with an average of 25 milliseconds per patient. Sickbay drives cost-effective patient monitoring and powers analytics by providing instantaneous and persisted physiological data to clinicians, researchers, and algorithm developers. Viewing data consolidated in Sickbay on any laptop or mobile device, on wallboards, and in on-prem or remote command centers enables clinicians to deliver the best possible care to patients throughout the hospital.
About Medical Informatics Corp:

Medical Informatics Corp.’s (MIC) mission is to deliver next-generation technologies to unify patient monitoring workflows for healthcare systems. MIC’s decade of innovation with its clinical platform, Sickbay, integrates over 30,000 vendor-neutral signals on two percent of hospital beds with over 10,000 clinical users in the United States. Most hospital systems lack native resolution data aggregated through a single source, instead deploying a multi-device strategy that silos data and data access time frames. The Sickbay Clinical Platform stands alone as the only FDA-cleared platform to aggregate time-series waveform data across disparate devices at native resolution. Current bedside devices delete data on average after 72 hours, while Sickbay saves the data indefinitely. Sickbay provides a portal through which care providers can review aggregated, time-synchronized data, annotate it, and collaborate to create algorithms (including ML & AI) and evaluate post-event care. Those algorithms and care models can then be reintroduced into the platform to advance care and innovation. Simply put, Sickbay provides the hospital teams their data from anywhere, anytime, to optimize workflows, analysis, and risk stratification across the patient care spectrum. The diverse team at MIC is fundamentally unlocking a blue ocean of new patient monitoring capabilities for ourselves, our partners, and our clients. MIC’s Sickbay saves lives, improves outcomes, streamlines strategy and technologies, and reduces the overall caring cost for hospital patients nationwide.

Product Capabilities

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Center for Telehealth team partnered with Stel Life, Inc. to present the results of their innovative “Not Home Alone: A COVID-19 Post-Discharge Remote Patient Monitoring Pilot” program at the October 2022 American Academy of Nursing Health Policy Conference in Washington, D.C.

Stel’s patented “Passive and Secure Heath Device Connectivity” allows patients to connect with their care team without requiring wifi, smartphones, or tech-literacy. Patients simply take their vitals within 100-ft of any smart IoT Hub (Stel, Amazon Echos, Routers), and Stel will securely transmit the measurement to the patient’s EHR and/or care team’s preferred digital health platform. Stel is a push only system and takes no-PHI or customer data in this process. Throughout the pandemic, Stel’s Cellular and Bluetooth Hub base model supported vulnerable patients experiencing the digital divide or challenging social determinants of health. This base Vitals Hub has no buttons, switches, or extra pairing steps. The Vitals Hub has a growing device ecosystem and can connect with hundreds of specialty and general devices for remote care. Stel is working to expand their Operating System to support Internet Modems, Routers, Smart HomeSpeakers, and other internet gateways to enable safe and accessible connectivity needed for all patients to connect with their care-teams. Stel’s patents include: US Pat. 11,165,866 + Pat. 11,246,026

As we move forward, who do we risk leaving behind? The pandemic has exposed the current reality of the digital divide. 43% of lower income americans lack broadband + 60% of medical facilities (outside of metropolitan areas lack broadband) 41% of Medicare beneficiaries lack smartphones Even if they do have access, there’s a question about passwords and security - last year, Knightscope revealed 100% of top 30 Health Apps were hacked. As Health System and Care team are being pushed to formalize equitable digital health strategies, it’s no wonder that we’re seeing headlines stating: “75% of Health System Leaders aren’t happy with their digital health strategy” As Patients and Care Teams evolve the standard of care to the home, common barriers that emerge are: 1) Complexity for Patients (especially those that lack wifi, smartphones, and/or comfort with tech), 2) Care Team burnt out, especially with new systems and non-standardized processes outside the EHR, 3) Varying and non-standard Privacy and Security practices by Device Manufacturers. Motivated by sensor experts being forced to master separate PHI, App Development, and EHR flows in order to commercialize their products. Stel’s proprietary technology is designed to simplify these complexities in a safe and secure way, so Patients and Care Teams have confidence to adopt the new normal of care. Health Systems can use multiple companies as patients navigate Hospital at Home, Transition of Care, Chronic Condition Management, and Wellness - that patient will only need 1 Stel Hub to interact with those various programs.

Rapid Device Integrations: Requested device integrations are completed in record time. Throughout the supply chain hassles, Clinicians were able to switch and offer alternative devices sourced from their local pharmacies. All worked with Stel without any issues. Stel's record was 4 devices integrated over night (before the start of the next work day). Specialty Device Integrations: Stel's supported devices include lab quality home-blood tests to implantable devices. EHR and Digital Health Integrations: Because of Stel's No-PHI flows, Health Systems were able to streamline IT and legal review to complete EHR integration within days (with limited resources).

Check out our customer reviews. We strongly believe in supporting and eliminating burden, hassle, and extra time for care teams boldly evolving care to the home.

Sickbay collects, integrates, & displays time-aligned medical device data for over 30k signals. Information is displayed to end users in near real-time (~25ms) on local and mobile devices.

Sickbay's Patient Monitor (PatMon) displays per patient waveform and EHR data alerting clinical end users based on parameters defined by the hospital. Sickbay's Multiple Patient Monitor (MultiMon) displays that same information for up to 100 patients on a single screen to support virtual monitoring at scale. Sickbay's Risk Stratification module displays risk score data customized per hospital to improve awareness of patient risk in higher acuity beds. Sickbay's Alert Queue module displays alerts for telemetry patients that have been newly admitted, shift changes, dietary requirements, and rhythm validation.

Sickbay integrates EHRs using interfaces for ADT information, staffing assignments, meds, & labs. Sickbay integrates directly into the EHR to automate the capture and storage of ECG strips on the patient's record without additional, time-consuming, error-prone manual steps.

Sickbay simplifies the clinical theater by centralizing patient monitoring data from devices, EHRs, camera-enabled technology, and 3rd party analytics into a single screen. This enhances the readability and interpretation required to reduce the time-to-treat a deteriorating patient. Sickbay's interface is shared between bedside and remote care teams to drive scale and efficiency. This approach reduces the risk associated with new nursing team members on staff and improves the training / onboarding by using a single platform for patient monitoring. Sickbay's analytics workbench directly connects clinical researchers with bedside teams to develop and implement custom algorithms for specific patient cohorts in near real-time.

Sickbay integrates camera-enabled technology into a single interface alongside near real-time physiological data to provide remote care teams with video support to reduce patient risk and improve the time-to-treat for patients that are deteriorating.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Currently, EHR do not routinely provide RPM Workflows. Many clinicians support RPM with external applications and platforms that create duplicative work and increase the likelihood of transcription errors. The Stel solution provides data directly into the EHR where clinicians are working and allows for seamless access to patient generated health data flowsheets. 

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Stel Vitals Hub has a zero-trust architecture that does not ingest any PHI. Stel does not require the patient to have a smartphone, WiFi, or app-literacy. Ideal for patients struggling from the digital divide.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

The EHR is intended to be a point of care reference to support billing. Traditionally, only documenting discreet vitals from patient monitoring devices at single points.

Sickbay Clinical Platform:

  • captures consolidated, persistent, time-series waveform data from networked and non-networked bedside devices at its native resolution
  • re-displays near real-time, time aligned signals at an average latency of <25 mSec
  • integration of risk scores and analytics
Differentiators vs Competitors:

Sickbay is a single, interconnected platform that is designed to support dozens of use cases, therefore competition is dependent upon the use case. In addition to the data agggregation, consolidation, and visualilzation differences referenced under EHR functionality, key differentiators in patient monitoring & virtual care include: 

  • vendor neutral device integration
  • web-based to support monitoring on any PC, tablet, phone or embedded EHR workflow
  • flexible, modular design to enable ability to monitor 50+ patients across units, facilities, and vendors
  • unlimited retrospective data, from one second to one year+, to support building and sharing of trends, CDI documentation support, quality reporting
  • integration, development and deployment of near real-time risk scores and analytics into established workflows
  • automated documentation of vitals, ECG strips, and event trends into the EHR
