SASICU: Improving patient outcomes and reducing cognitive load of clinical staff in intensive care through medical device interoperability and an open and secure IT ecosystem

European project improving ICU clinical outcomes through medical device interoperability and integration of data within an open and secure digital ecosystem. It addresses challenges such as alarm fatigue and information overload by leveraging connectivity standards and smart technologies to optimise patient monitoring. The approach enables reduction of unnecessary alarms and enhances clinical efficiency, contributing to safer care environments and more patient-centred intensive care delivery.

To develop and validate interoperability-based solutions and algorithms that reduce clinicians’ cognitive load and improve early detection of clinical risks. The project aims to optimise alarm management, support decision-making and enhance care quality in ICU settings through real-world studies. It also promotes the adoption of open standards to enable scalability and seamless integration of medical technologies across healthcare environments.

• Improvement of patient outcomes and reduction of cognitive load through device interoperability.
• Creation of a secure and connected digital environment for efficient data management in intensive care.
• Design of tools to free up clinical time and improve decision-making in the ICU.
