Sr. Software Engineer
THE CHALLENGE
In many critical care settings such as the
Intensive Care Unit, sampling and testing of
blood is required on a frequent basis in order to
appropriately manage the health of ICU patients.
Unfortunately, due to the large workload and
shortage of intensivists and critical care
nurses, blood sampling and testing are not
performed at the appropriate frequencies in order
to make timely decisions regarding the care of
these patients. For example, several published
studies show that frequent monitoring of blood
glucose in the ICU significantly reduces
mortality and morbidity across many different
disease states, which has led to increasing
advocacy for adoption of Intensive Insulin
Therapy protocols. However, implementation of
these protocols has been very difficult due to
the time required to sample and test blood
glucose using current point of care equipment.
