Proprietary predictive algorithm enhances Centralized Virtual
Clinical Operations to provide decision support and intervention
for ICU patients
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced the launch of Sentry Score, the newest addition to the
suite of Clinical Performance Applications in the Philips
eCareManager enterprise telehealth software platform. Sentry Score
is a predictive algorithm for the adult intensive care unit (ICU)
that shows a patient’s probability of receiving an intervention
within 60 minutes [1]. Sentry Score patient risk predictions are
continuously updated as new vital sign data are received, providing
deeper insights into the patient’s trajectory, which can provide
the opportunity for earlier intervention.
In acute care settings, communication continues to be a problem
due to the influx of patients, data, device alarms and handoffs
between clinicians. In fact, communication breakdown is a major
contributing factor in nearly 70% of adverse medical events, with
75% of adverse events leading to patient death [2]. With patient
safety being a top concern for health systems worldwide, providers
are looking to improve clinician communication through clinical
decision support and predictive solutions that can positively
affect workflows and patient outcomes.
“With so many hands involved in the delivery of patient care, it
can be incredibly challenging for clinicians to provide proactive
care and spot patient deterioration before issues arise across
various care settings,” said Carla Kriwet, Chief Business Leader of
Connected Care at Royal Philips. “This specifically holds true in
the ICU, where care teams are getting larger, patient acuity is
rising, and communication is more difficult. Solutions with
predictive algorithms like Sentry Score provide clinicians with a
more comprehensive view of the patient’s status. This allows for
timely intervention from clinicians on the floor, as well as
tele-ICU clinicians to directly communicate with the bedside
clinical team ahead of time, to ultimately intervene earlier.”
Philips patent-pending technologyPhilips is
among the top three companies in the world in terms of AI-related
patent applications in healthcare. With its predictive
capabilities, Sentry Score is the latest example, enhancing
Philips’ eCareManager acute care telehealth platform by
prioritizing active patient deterioration and providing the
probability of a cardiopulmonary intervention over time. This
proprietary algorithm was developed as a regression machine
learning model using patterns of vital sign data from the Philips
eICU Research Institute associated with clinical interventions.
Sentry Score has been co-developed in collaboration with current
Philips eICU Program care customers who are part of the largest
Tele-Critical Care network of leading academic medical centers and
integrated delivery networks (IDNs) across the US.
Adding Sentry Score to the Philips Suite of Acute Care
performance applications builds upon currently available algorithms
that target early deterioration detection, patient discharge
readiness scoring, clinician workflow productivity and acuity-based
population health prioritization. This addition further
demonstrates Philips’ commitment to developing solutions with
predictive analytics and artificial intelligence that aim to help
health systems achieve the quadruple aim of value-based
healthcare: an improved experience for patients and staff,
better health outcomes and a lower cost of care. Through these risk
scores, Philips’ comprehensive solutions, like eCareManager,
provide clinicians in the tele-ICU with a more comprehensive view
of the patient, allowing them to coordinate assessments and
recommended actions with the bedside care team in an efficient,
less disruptive way.
Philips eCareManager, including Sentry Score, is currently
available in the U.S., the UK, Japan, Australia and the Middle
East. The solution is also being deployed across U.S.-based IDNs,
showing momentum and adoption of the benefits this telehealth
solution delivers. Additional information on Philips’ telehealth
solutions is available here.
