What is ICU Delirium?
ICU Delirium is a type of acute brain failure experienced by many ICU patients. Current screening tools require specialist expertise and/or training. Some are time-consuming to administer, and reliability in routine clinical practice is questionable.
The Critical Care Research Group has developed an innovative app designed to enable efficient and sensitive screening for delirium without specialist training.

The Critical Care Research Group has developed an innovative app designed to enable efficient and sensitive screening for delirium without specialist training. Delirium, a common complication of an intensive care unit (ICU) admission, is inconsistently diagnosed by clinicians. Current screening tools require specialist expertise and/or training. Some are time-consuming to administer, and reliability in routine clinical practice is questionable.
