WATCH NOW: Situation Awareness in the OR

Special guest, Dr David Tscholl, University of Zurich and the University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, presents the keynote at the 2025 CRIKEY Symposium presented by Philips.

Situation Awareness with Visual Patient Avatar: A new way to see your patient's vitals take shape.

Visual Patient Avatar translates the wealth of information from Philips IntelliVue patient monitors into visual patient data using an avatar that displays colour, shape and animation. This innovative approach to monitoring aims to improve the growing concern of errors related to situational awareness, responsible for up to 80% of anesthesia incidents. Information overload from multiple displays makes it difficult to get a quick situation overview of the patient.

Visual Patient Avatar offers a simple, functional design that has been shown to help users recall vital sign information significantly faster.
