US-based clinical monitoring software provider AirStrip has unveiled the AirStrip Alarm Management platform, designed to transform the management of clinical alarms in hospitals.
The platform, already approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), routes critical alerts directly to clinicians’ mobile devices.
It is supported by waveform vital sign data, enabling faster response times and reducing alarm fatigue across various care settings.
The platform can be easily integrated with existing hospital systems, offering a vendor-neutral approach to alarm workflows.
AirStrip CEO and practising cardiac electrophysiologist Haris Naseem said: “As someone who experiences alarm fatigue firsthand, I see the immediate clinical value of this solution. It brings clarity to urgent situations and helps us deliver faster, safer care.”
Using the MDI library, hospitals can access data from various devices and systems, enhancing visibility and decision-making capabilities.
AirStrip also allows hospitals to customise alert escalations and notifications to suit their specific needs.
Integration with staff assignment solutions helps prevent over-alerting while supporting unit-specific overrides, ensuring that alerts are clinically actionable.
The centralised dashboard enables users to dispatch alerts, document significant arrhythmias to the electronic health record (EHR).
Also, it helps the users to track the alarms in near-real time, providing automated audit trails for workflow transparency.
Clinicians benefit from alerts enriched with contextual information and waveforms, allowing them to act immediately or escalate when necessary.
The Alert Tracker feature provides hospital leaders with insights into alarm activity across the system, offering near real-time updates and detailed logs.
AirStrip board of directors’ chairman Patrick Soon-Shiong said: “This FDA-approved platform is a meaningful advancement for healthcare systems.
“It simplifies alarm management, eases clinician workload, and contributes to a safer, more sustainable care environment, especially for high-risk, high-cost patient care.”
