Learn about the Visensia Index by OBS Medical at HIMSS08

Provided by OBS Medical

Visensia provides life-saving medical insight by analyzing five patient vital signs – heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure - and fuses this data into a measurable index, the Visensia Index.

Visensia™ is a complex algorithm that analyzes the fluctuating relationships among five patient vital signs. While a minor deviation in one of the vitals may not indicate significant change in patient status, minor variations in two or more vital signs that occur simultaneously may indicate the onset of an impending decline in the patient’s stability.

Visensia continuously monitors the five vital signs and compares relative status among them to generate the Visensia Index, a single, simple index that will provide a visual warning if there is a high likelihood of a sudden change in the patient’s status.

The index is delivered in real time and is updated instantaneously as new vitals are input into the application – either manually or automatically.

The index is measured on a scale from 0 to 5, with 5 being the furthest deviation from normal. Early clinical trials show that when the index reaches 3.0 or above, Visensia is 95% specific to an event happening now or in the very near future where intervention is required.
