Smart-Room

IBM will market and implement "smart room" technology developed by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Created by UPMC three years ago, the high-tech SmartRoom was first deployed at UPMC Shadyside. As part of the set-up, clinicians wear ultrasound tags that identify them and display their names on a wall-mounted monitor visible to patients. At the same time, the SmartRoom infrastructure automatically provides clinicians with real-time patient information pulled from an electronic medical record, including allergies, vital signs, test results and medications that are due.
