Virtual ICU Enabling Round-the-Clock Patient
Monitoring and Support

The
Tele-ICU Revolutionizes Critical Care



Tele-ICU, or virtual intensive care unit, has transformed the way ICU patients
are monitored and treated. By utilizing telehealth technology, ICU patients can
be continuously observed by critical care physicians and nurses even when
in-person staff is not present at the bedside. Through video cameras, medical
devices, and electronic health records, remote providers gain real-time
insights into patients' conditions to provide support 24/7.



This level of around-the-clock monitoring was not possible with traditional
staffing models. Virtual
ICU rely heavily on in-person physicians and nurses working shifts to
care for patients. However, there are often gaps when shifts change or
providers are not instantly reachable. Tele-ICU fills these gaps by giving
remote experts virtual "eyes and ears" at the bedside so they can
address issues anytime they arise.



How Virtual ICU Systems Work



A typical Tele-ICU setup involves installing video cameras in each ICU room
that can stream live footage to remote monitors. The cameras are mounted
discreetly and focus only on medical equipment and patient conditions, not
identifiable features. Vital sign monitors, ventilator readings, and electronic
charts are also digitally accessible for tele-providers to view.
