In collaboration with cloud physicians, Siu-ka-Pha Hospital in Assam has brought advanced treatment to its patients through the Smart ICU. The hospital is at the forefront of innovative critical care, offering a modern approach that integrates advanced technology to enhance patient care and management. With the use of cloud physicians, doctors can remotely monitor patients and provide real-time consultation and advice to on-site medical staff. This includes reviewing patient data and medical records, making recommendations on treatments, and, in some cases, providing a remote diagnosis. Smart ICU also features individual monitoring cameras that provide 24-hour surveillance of patients, allowing medical staff to monitor vital signs and detect changes in condition. This technology enables remote communication between medical staff, patients, and their families, providing updates and reassurance. Moreover, advanced data analytics and AI-powered tools are integrated into Smart ICU to predict patient outcomes and improve care management. Medical staff can make informed decisions on patient care and treatment, leading to better patient outcomes.
