Visual Patient Avatar

Philips Visual Patient Avatar translates numerical vital signs data into an avatar using color, shape and animation and helps you distinguish between stable and dynamically changing conditions, so you can act before parameter alarming sets in. Visual Patient Avatar features a simple, functional, innovative design, for one-glance holistic recognition of significant changes in patient status.

Flying a plane and caring for a patient involve continuous evaluation of critical data. Inspired by synthetic vision in aviation, the Visual Patient Avatar was originally developed by a team of licensed pilots and anesthesiologists who saw the similarities of the cockpit and the OR and sought to bring these concepts into the fast-paced operating room.

ICU clinicians must continuously monitor multiple patients in a fast-paced environment where attention is divided across competing priorities. Visual Patient helps support rapid patient assessment by making it easier to recognize patient status and detect important changes at a glance. This enhanced situational awareness may help clinicians prioritize care more effectively and focus their attention where it is needed most.
