WARD 24/7 CSS App

What is WARD?

Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and circulatory Distress (WARD) is an innovative clinical support system founded in 2016. The WARD project integrates inputs from patient monitoring devices with intelligent algorithms to yield high-quality patient observation with real-time alarms triggered by patient vital sign deterioration.

Intended for use in several patient settings where the advantages and benefits of continuous monitoring may be fundamental. The WARD system has been used for monitoring in postoperative high-risk patients, in patients hospitalized with COPD, and in patients admitted with COVID-19 infection. 

WARD allows doctors and nurses to follow patients’ acute medical disease progression or postoperative course. The generation of real-time alarms will immediately alert relevant health care staff to allow initiation of treatment much earlier. Our well-designed, easy-to-use, and simple user interface offers health care professionals a valuable tool for overviewing current and historical vital signs. 

Daily routines of manual patient monitoring can be fundamentally changed to 24/7 observation of saturation, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, etc. with alarms of important deviations. This may allow more efficient use of resources and the ability to give attention to the patients in special needs while at the same time keeping an eye on the remaining patients.

The WARD project will define, develop and implement the next generation monitoring system for high-risk patients, proving that it reduces complications and health care expenses. 

WARD Clinical Support System increase the quality of patient observation through continious and wireless monitoring of patient vital signs. Combining innovative technology with evidence-based algorithms, we allow earlier and more frequent detection of patient deteoriation through predictive AI-algorithms delivered in a user-friendly App.

Randomized Clinical Trial is taking place in 2020-2022 to test the efficiency of continious wireless monitoring of patient deteroriation and WARD App in all of the Danish Regions.

Initiation of the study is planned to take place in late 2020 and will include more than 1000 patients.
