When ThoughtWire <\/a>was founded in 2009, CEO Mike Monteith endeavoured to reduce the burden on healthcare providers. He knew through first-hand experience that the overload of information and on-the-job realities compromised the ability of practitioners to deliver the best possible care to patients. In the 10 years since its founding, ThoughtWire has worked to deliver on this promise, developing an advanced suite of operations performance management software that uses AI and machine learning to enable the frontlines of healthcare to act fast. The ThoughtWire smart hospital solutions work as intelligent assistants in support of the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n ThoughtWire\u2019s EarlyWarning solution takes advantage of electronic medical record (EMR) data to assess patients who might be at risk of cardiac arrest. Early detection leads to better outcomes for patients\u2014statistics show that once a patient deteriorates to cardiac or respiratory arrest, the chances of survival drop to approximately 20 percent<\/a>. The EarlyWarning app analyzes the data for trends to make educated predictions about a patient\u2019s trajectory. By connecting with a hospital or healthcare center\u2019s staff directory and real time location systems (RTLS), the ThoughtWire solution alerts the right people with critical patient information when they need it. In this way, not only is the platform supporting a more proactive approach to healthcare, it is also facilitating a smoother flow of information that gets the right data into the right hands before it is too late.<\/p>\n
