@UCLAHealthThat's a wrap. Thank you@UCLAHealth#drmartin#drhu,@Excel_Medical, and all the great tweeters who joined us.#IBMDataChat
And please summarize: How will this research help patients with traumatic brain injuries?@UCLAHealth@Excel_Medical#IBMDataChat
Q for@UCLAHealth&@Excel_MedicalCan this tech be used to detect encroaching dementia in people not suffering brain trauma?#IBMDataChat
We have 8 minutes left on this#IBMDataChat. I'm learning a lot. Just one more question.
@UCLAHealthInteresting. Can this same technology monitor/predict if out-patients show signs of onset of epileptic seizures?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthIs this solution accessible, securely, to wireless/mobile devices carried by caregivers in ICU setting?#IBMDataChat
@Excel_Medical@UCLAHealthAre there any regulatory imperatives that are mandating or encouraging adoption of this tech?#IBMDataChat
@Excel_Medical@Partha_BopI will have that rollup/recap blog ready in a few days. Don't worry. I've tooled my head to do such tasks
@UCLAHealthSo the predictive alarming solution is collaboration btwn subject-matter experts (doctors etc.) & informatics pros#IBMDataChat
Another Q for@UCLAHealth&@Excel_MedicalWhat sorts of data scientists are involved in bulding this predictive alarming tool?#IBMDataChat
@Excel_MedicalIs BedMaster a teaching tool, or is it an operational informatics tool for a broader range of hospitals?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthWhat consortium are you referring to?#ibmdatachat.
Next Q to@UCLAHealthWhat plans to expand your medical research into#bigdataanalytics for real-time monitor/alarm?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthIs BedMaster an app developed only for UCLA medical center operational use, or is it available more widely?#IBMDataChat
Next Q for@UCLAHealth&@Excel_MedicalHow much data involved in this ICU predictive monitor/alarming? Terabytes? Petabytes?#IBMDataChat
@Excel_MedicalWhen you say most clinical data in hospitals is "relatively unstudied," do U mean "discarded" & "not analyzed"?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthIs that "great leap forward" of clinical+quality+efficiency+cost data in your plans?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthHow far in minutes, days, months does history of alarms go back for a given patient?#IBMDataChatSimply for current ICU stay?
@UCLAHealthHow do you use predictive analytics in the alarm & monitoring, now & going forward, in ICU?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthDoes the solution visualize alarms from patient monitors in unified dashboard o correlated signals? What do U show?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthTell us more about the kind of data you are getting from bedside monitors?#IBMDataChatDo you correlate streams in real-time?
@UCLAHealthDo you do analytics directly on analog waveforms or do you convert them to a digital representation for processing?#IBMDataChat
Now for@Excel_Medical. Please describe your role in providing informatics for real-time treatment of brain trauma patients?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthHow much early warning (#seconds) does the streaming data provide you of serious issues that you can address?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthIs this adv signal processing & mach learning tech solely for brain trauma? Is it used in other biomedical areas?#ibmdatachat
@UCLAHealthAre these real-time decis suppt informatics tools only for UCLA, or is the tech available to other institutions?#IBMDataChat
@UCLAHealthInteresting#drhu. What sorts of decision do you seek to drive in a real-time patient care setting? Decisions by who about what?
@Excel_MedicalThanks Lance. I'll get back to you in a jif.
