Abstract
Robotic telepresence in the intensive care unit
Highlights
Many information technology (IT) applications and devices are presently in use, including handheld personal digital assistant (PDA) devices with wireless access, internet accessible electronic medical records systems, and digital teleconferencing
PDAs are often used for database access, such as access to a digital drug database or a digital textbook
There were more than 527 Palm-based and 306 Windows CE-based medical programs for PDAs [4], with an estimated 60% of physicians using some type of PDA [5], and this number is expected to grow
Summary
Many IT applications and devices are presently in use, including handheld personal digital assistant (PDA) devices with wireless access, internet accessible electronic medical records systems, and digital teleconferencing. An important need of intensivists is to interact frequently with real-time patient information and with the bedside nurses from a remote location. This model makes use of electronic medical record systems and real-time remote monitoring of patient monitors with proprietary smart alarms, which empower the intensivist to direct patient care.
