CalmWave

Hospitals aren’t just asking for quieter ICUs. They’re demanding operational clarity that scales. This month at CalmWave: — We launched Alarm Insights, giving Clinical Engineering teams real-time visibility into technical alarms and device degradation. — We heard firsthand from CIOs at CHIME: alarm fatigue, system silos, and data trust are urgent priorities. — We were named one of CB Insights’ Future Tech Hotshots 2025, spotlighting emerging tech reshaping major industries. Each of these reflects a simple truth: when hospitals can see clearly, they act faster, smarter, and safer. Read the full CalmWave newsletter now!

If you step back from the bedside and look at the ICU through a hospital operations lens, a different picture comes into focus. Every alarm, every parameter, every data point generated by pumps, monitors, and ventilators is a signal. But in most hospitals, those signals do not form a system. They form fragments. Different vendors. Different data models. Different alarm strategies. No shared language. For frontline clinicians, this fragmentation shows up as cognitive overload. For patients and families, it becomes emotional overload. But for hospital leaders — CNOs, CMIOs, CISOs, risk and quality teams — it creates something more dangerous: a systemic blind spot. When pumps, monitors, ventilators, and hemodynamic systems operate in silos: You cannot see real-time operational risk You cannot quantify alarm burden at the unit level You cannot detect technical degradation early You cannot understand how device fragmentation affects safety You cannot deliver consistent care across vendors And critically: no one is structurally accountable for the risk that emerges between systems. This is why Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) is not a convenience. It is not a feature. It is not a “nice to have.” SDC is an enterprise safety standard. It enables bedside devices to speak a shared language, making real-time, cross-vendor insight possible at the scale hospital leaders are responsible for governing. This is also why CalmWave exists. CalmWave is already doing today what SDC aims to standardize — unifying multi-vendor signals into a coherent, real-time operational foundation that exposes patterns, risk, and opportunity that were previously invisible. For hospital operations, that means: 🔹 Measurable reductions in non-actionable alarms 🔹 More predictable staffing demand and reduced burnout 🔹 Earlier detection of device and signal degradation 🔹 Stronger alignment with NPSG alarm safety goals 🔹 Real-time visibility into patient acuity trends 🔹 A calmer, more controlled ICU environment More data is inevitable. Unstructured data is the risk. Hospitals need data that is understandable, interoperable, and accountable — data that can support safer workflows, stronger staffing models, and defensible operational decisions. So a simple question for hospital and medtech leaders: If a serious safety event occurred tonight, could you reconstruct — in minutes, not weeks — how alarms, devices, and staffing interacted across vendors? When ICUs become interoperable, safety stops being aspirational. It becomes foundational. #HospitalOperations #PatientSafety #RiskManagement #HealthcareLeadership #Interoperability #SDC #IEEE11073 #AlarmFatigue #MedTech #TransparentAI

Two tensions came through loud and clear from a recent CIO focus group we hosted at CHIME. 1. Fragmentation is blocking coordination. Nursing, IT, and operations are working from different dashboards and definitions. When teams don’t share the same data or workflows, alignment breaks down and silos collide. 2. AI talk is cheap. Proof = trust. CIOs want specifics: model behavior, clinical guardrails, auditability, drift prevention. If you can’t explain how it works or how you’ll keep it safe, you’re not ready. Transparency isn’t optional. It’s foundational. These insights are sharpening our roadmap — and reinforcing why CalmWave focuses on operational clarity, not just AI features. Thank you to the leaders who joined us and shared with such candor.

We’re glad this came through — it’s intentional. Our goal is simple: make clinicians feel seen, heard, and supported. Thanks for taking the time to connect with our team ❤️

Alarm Insights is designed to give clinical engineering teams the actionable insights they need to address issues and patterns that have historically remained invisible. The result? Improved operational efficiency and enhanced patient safety across hospital systems.
