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

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.

Client Types

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Being a technology agnostic service provider, we partner with technology providers to fulfill the clients documentation requirements. Often this is directly into the EHR of the system, other times in the platform the client chooses for Virtual Sitting, or option for a home grown option that can be shared with the client.

Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • Longest standing service provider in the market
  • Ability to leverage industry leading technologies
  • Flexible, customizable solutions and service plans with in-depth documentation and reporting capabilities
  • Evidence-based at our core with solutions designed alongside frontline care teams
  • Primary virtual care services include Telesitting, Virtual Nursing, and consultative services
  • Drastic improvements in annual savings per unit, patient fall reduction, employee retention and length of stay & admissions where deployed
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
