Israel Develops a Better System for Monitoring Unstable Blood Pressure
(Israel21c) Brian Blum - VitalMiner, a new software system to measure unstable blood pressure in intensive-care patients, is hailed as a potential lifesaver by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center where it is being piloted. The system was developed by Prof. Mark Last from Ben-Gurion University in collaboration with the Cincinnati hospital and pediatric surgeon Prof. Raphael Udassin at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. Preliminary findings from three hospitals suggest that VitalMiner may predict instability several hours before current state-of-the-art monitors, catching problems even before symptoms appear.
