Wearables alone will not eliminate failure to rescue

Summary: Surveys suggest that anaesthesiologists believe that continuous monitoring with wearables will lead to improved patient outcomes. However, evidence suggests that several critical factors, including timely recognition of physiological problems, the presence of a trained team to respond to th...

description Summary: Surveys suggest that anaesthesiologists believe that continuous monitoring with wearables will lead to improved patient outcomes. However, evidence suggests that several critical factors, including timely recognition of physiological problems, the presence of a trained team to respond to the alerts, and that the alerts occur far in advance of the deterioration, are required before overall improvement can occur. Wearables alone will not change patients' outcomes, they must be implemented as part of a system change that takes advantage of the higher frequency observations that continuous monitoring provides.
