关于客户
科克大学 (UCC) 的爱尔兰胎儿和新生儿转化研究中心 (INFANT) 是世界领先的围产期研究中心，由爱尔兰科学基金会资助，并由科克大学妇产医院主办。其主要目的是开发围产期医疗保健方面的创新和技术，旨在改善孕妇和新生儿的治疗和护理。INFANT 正在开发一种称为“Babylink”的重症监护神经监测系统 - 一种用于新生儿脑电图分析的实时流式决策支持平台。支持 Babylink 的平台是 IBM® InfoSphere® Streams 软件以及 IBM 业务合作伙伴 Moberg Research, Inc. 的支持网络的组件神经监测系统 (CNS) 监测设备。
挑战
新生儿，尤其是早产儿、难产儿或中风儿，可能会出现难以察觉的神经问题。癫痫发作可能是神经功能障碍的一种症状，如果不及时治疗，可能会对婴儿的大脑造成进一步的损害。脑电图 (EEG) 可以帮助检测这些问题，但世界上只有有限数量的神经生理学家拥有专业知识，可以可靠地解释新生儿脑电图数据并用它来监测大脑活动。这对有神经问题的新生儿来说是一个特殊的问题，这在早产儿、难产儿或中风的婴儿中比较常见。癫痫发作可能是神经功能障碍的一种症状，如果不及时治疗，可能会对婴儿的大脑造成进一步的损害。
解决方案
爱尔兰胎儿和新生儿转化研究中心 (INFANT) 正在开发一种名为“Babylink”的重症监护神经监测系统，这是一个用于新生儿脑电图分析的实时流式决策支持平台。Babylink 从放置在婴儿身上的传感器捕获流式脑电图波形和生命体征数据，并应用 INFANT 中心开发的算法实时检测神经系统问题。这些机器学习算法可自动预处理脑电图和其他波形，并使用来自已知事件历史数据库的数据检测、分析和分类癫痫等事件。支持 Babylink 的平台是 IBM® InfoSphere® Streams 软件以及 IBM 业务合作伙伴 Moberg Research, Inc. 的支持网络的组件神经监测系统 (CNS) 监测设备。

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
