Calmwave And Oracle Collaborate To Improve The Endemic Healthcare Issue Of Alarm Fatigue

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CalmWave, creator of the Calm ICU and a leader in eliminating non-actionable alarms through healthcare data science and transparent AI, today announced a collaboration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to help improve the endemic issue of alarm fatigue in healthcare. CalmWave plans to leverage OCI to accelerate AI pipelines and enable seamless scalability for big data ecosystems to deliver CalmWave's innovative Hospital Operations platform to hospital networks worldwide.

“Our platform delivers a first-of-its-kind, data-driven approach to improving hospital operations. Solving alarm fatigue and enhancing safety in ICUs requires the ability to process vast amounts of data with advanced technology. After migrating to OCI and Oracle Autonomous Database, we achieved a 12x increase in processing speed and reduced per-query costs by an astonishing 1171x—enabling us to run our Transparent AI algorithms with unprecedented efficiency,” said Ophir Ronen, founder and CEO of CalmWave. “Oracle has proven a world-class partner, accelerating our growth as we scale our Calm ICU platform globally. This deepening collaboration is a testament to Oracle’s commitment to transforming healthcare technology through rapid innovation.”

“CalmWave is bringing an innovative and focused approach to addressing the long-standing challenge of alarm fatigue in ICUs. CalmWave is leveraging OCI’s purpose-built AI capabilities to run its most mission-critical AI workloads faster and more reliably,” said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “By leveraging OCI’s rapidly growing number of cloud regions globally and expansive footprint in healthcare, CalmWave can accelerate the delivery of this solution to hospitals worldwide.”

Non-actionable alarms make up 80-99% of alarms in ICUs, contributing to a well-recognized and widespread issue known as alarm fatigue. Alarm fatigue occurs when the constant flood of alarms overwhelms both clinicians and patients. This situation can lead to missed or delayed responses by nurses and contributes to excessive noise in ICUs, hindering patient recovery and increasing risks such as ICU delirium.

About CalmWave

CalmWave's mission is to objectively improve healthcare, starting with safely eliminating non-actionable alarms. Alarms triggered by bedside monitoring systems that do not require immediate intervention or clinical response comprise 80-99% of all audible alarms in intensive care units (ICUs). They contribute to a well-recognized and widespread issue known as alarm fatigue, endemic to every hospital worldwide. Alarm fatigue, rampant in the modern healthcare system, causes great stress for clinicians and patients, ultimately impacting patient outcomes and staff retention. Using Transparent AI, CalmWave outlines the rationale behind each optimized setting, empowering a hospital’s nursing staff to evaluate and implement optimized alarm limit recommendations in the bedside monitor at the patient’s bedside using the CalmWave Operations Platform, which integrates seamlessly with the hospital’s EMR. Doing so remediates alarm fatigue and can improve staff retention and patient outcomes. Visit CalmWave.ai for more information and follow us on LinkedIn and X.
