Nurses cannot reliably distinguish alarm severity from sounds alone, leading to alarm fatigue and family distress, with no standardized design across devices.
Current medical device alarms lack standardized, intuitive sound design, causing nurses to ignore or misprioritize them, and no software solution exists to help coordinate, differentiate, or manage alarms across multiple devices.
Alarm Harmony
Alarm Harmony is a device-agnostic software layer that standardizes and prioritizes medical equipment alarms. It consolidates alerts from multiple machines into a single, intuitive interface that uses distinct sounds, visuals, and haptics to convey severity and type. Machine learning filters non-actionable alarms, reducing alarm fatigue and improving response times.
- Central alarm dashboard aggregating alerts from all connected devices
- Standardized alarm sound library mapped to severity (e.g., critical, warning, advisory)
- Smart filtering and prioritization to suppress nuisance alarms
- Escalation protocols that notify the right clinician via mobile or wearable
