A Proof-of-Concept Model for Implementing a "Smart-NICU" to Improve Infant Mortality.
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine 2024 April 19
Low- and middle-income countries face limited critical care capacity due to constraints in staffing, resources, and technology. "Smart ICUs" that integrate telehealth to augment care delivery, communication, and data integration have the potential to bridge these gaps and reduce preventable morbidity and mortality. While their efficacy has been well validated in adult populations, applications of Smart-ICU services in the neonatal population have not been studied. Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in India using a common Smart-NICU platform, developed by CloudPhysician, utilize a hub-and-spokes framework along with locally designed technology to facilitate remote patient care in collaboration with local health systems. In this article, we investigate the operational characteristics and performance outcomes for Smart-NICU deployment from the 18 NICUs and 214 beds deployed to date. These findings highlight the potential impact of Smart-NICUs and establish generalizable principles for implementation in low-resource settings.
