Description
Intensive Care Units (ICUs) at hospitals utilize cutting
edge technology in order
to acquire the physiological state of inpatients at an
extremely high fidelity.
Such measurements can then be utilized for i) education, ii)
early diagnosis and
iii) for defining early warning systems that identify when a
human life is
jeopardy. A problem with the current setting is that
individual ICUs are limited
to the locally acquired measurements. As a result, the
number of
clinically "interesting" episodes available to doctors is
also very limited.
The ICGrid (Intensive Care Grid), is a platform that will
enable the seamless
integration the physiological parameters acquired at ICUs
scattered around
Europe. Such a task requires huge processing and data
storage capabilities,
which are common attributes of the EGEE GRID infrastructure.
ICGrid is based
on a hybrid architecture that combines i) a heterogenous set
of monitors that
sense the in-patients and ii) EGEE GRID technology that
enables the storage,
processing and information sharing task between Intensive
Care Units.
