Healthcare Technology and Patient Monitoring

Healthcare Technology and Patient Monitoring is a research topic within Surgery. Science Explorer counts 15k research works in it since 1950. 19.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the phenomenon of alarm fatigue within clinical monitoring systems, particularly in intensive care units. It explores issues related to excessive and non-actionable alarms, the impact on nurse responsiveness, strategies to reduce false alarms, and the role of medical device interoperability in improving patient monitoring. The cluster also addresses the challenges and potential solutions associated with alarm management, aiming to enhance the effectiveness and reliability of healthcare technology.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
