Voice alerting as a medical alarm modality for next-generation patient monitoring: a randomised international multicentre trial

Tadzio R. Roche et al.

Summary: Voice alerts were found to be more effective in helping healthcare professionals to identify vital sign alarms compared to auditory icons. This study demonstrated the potential benefits of using voice alerts in patient monitoring systems, showing that they are superior to current state-of-the-art alarms.

Intelligent checklists improve checklist compliance in the intensive care unit: a prospective before-and-after mixed-method study

Ashley J. R. De Bie et al.

Summary: The study showed that a digital checklist improved compliance with best clinical practice compared to a paper checklist during ICU ward rounds, reducing the number of unchecked critical items and shorter ICU stay. However, clinicians noted that further improvement in the usability of digital checklists was necessary.

Avatar-based patient monitoring in critical anaesthesia events: a randomised high-fidelity simulation study

Tadzio R. Roche et al.

Summary: The study found that split-screen monitoring was non-inferior to conventional monitoring in performing critical tasks during anesthesia crisis situations. Avatar-based patient monitoring improved verbalization of the correct cause of emergencies but was associated with lower perceived usability compared to conventional monitoring.

Reducing medical device alarms by an order of magnitude: A human factors approach

Erik Koomen et al.

Summary: The current approach to medical device design has drawbacks such as noise pollution, information overload, and alarm fatigue, and a new approach involving the networked-device paradigm, comprehensive alarms, and humaniform information displays is proposed to improve patient safety and quality of care.
