Ambient Clinical Analytics

Ambient Clinical Analytics is a healthcare technology company that develops software solutions designed to improve patient care and outcomes in critical care settings. The company's flagship product, AWARE, is a clinical decision support system that utilizes analytics and data visualization to provide real-time, actionable information to healthcare providers. By aggregating and organizing patient data into a single, easy-to-read interface, AWARE aims to reduce information overload and enhance decision-making processes.

One of the key features of AWARE is its built-in tools for error prevention, practice surveillance, and decision support. These tools leverage Mayo Clinic's licensed technologies, including over 1,000 rules and algorithms, to identify potential issues and provide guidance to clinicians. For example, the Sepsis DART module uses sepsis detection and monitoring rules to alert caregivers to the presence or development of sepsis, aiding in early intervention and treatment.

Research has shown that the implementation of AWARE can lead to significant improvements in patient outcomes and cost savings. In one study, the use of AWARE was associated with a 7% decrease in overall in-hospital and ICU mortality, a 50% reduction in ICU length of stay, and a 30% reduction in total hospital stay charges (as of March 2018).

In addition to AWARE, Ambient Clinical Analytics offers other solutions like the Mayo Clinic YES Board, a multi-patient management tool that provides real-time situational awareness for Emergency Departments and hospital Pediatric departments.

Ambient Clinical Analytics has received FDA Class II Clearance for its AWARE and Sepsis DART software platform (as of April 2017). The company has also achieved ISO 13485:2016 certification, an internationally recognized quality standard for medical device manufacturers (as of May 2019).
