Revolutionizing Patient Safety at The Ottawa Hospital: The Impact of Breakthrough Ambient Perceptual AI Technology

Attendees will learn about the Artificially Intelligent Monitoring System (AIMS), a cutting-edge ambient perceptual intelligence platform designed to address critical challenges in healthcare data, safety and quality. Attendees will gain insights into staff perspectives of and experiences with the technology. Further, the presentation will showcase how AIMS:

  1. Utilizes cutting-edge 3D perceptual sensors and AI to anonymously perceive and analyze clinical environments 30 times per second, providing continuous monitoring without compromising privacy.
  2. Perceives and analyzes 1.5 Terabytes of unique ambient data per AIMS Node daily, generating data, predictions and insights previously unobtainable about the physical care environment.
  3. Employs predictive analytics to identify potential risks and promote compliance with standard practice for anyone in a healthcare environment (staff, patients, visitors), as demonstrated by a 42% sustained relative increase in hand hygiene events during a recent quality improvement clinical evaluation.
  4. Integrates with existing healthcare infrastructure to support the Quadruple Aim: improving patient outcomes, enhancing provider experience, reducing costs, and advancing population health.
