Marengo CIMS Hospital AI monitoring system helps prevent 115 cardiac emergencies

Ahmedabad: An AI-powered patient monitoring system deployed at Marengo CIMS Hospital has reportedly helped prevent 115 cardiac Code Blue emergencies and identify 836 instances of patient deterioration over the past two and a half years, according to the hospital. 

The system uses wearable biosensors to continuously monitor vital parameters, such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation. When the technology detects an abnormal reading or an increase in clinical risk, alerts are simultaneously sent to the patient's smartphone, the treating doctor and a dedicated 24x7 central monitoring command centre.

According to the hospital, more than 6,551 high-risk patients have been monitored through the platform since its deployment. The system has also reportedly helped prevent 81 ICU transfers and facilitated three CPR interventions during the period.

The technology is designed to identify early physiological changes that could indicate a developing medical emergency. Speaking about the system, Mayur Dave, Facility Director at Marengo CIMS Hospital, said serious cardiac emergencies may be preceded by subtle changes in a patient's physiological condition hours or even days before a critical event.

According to Health Care Asia, "Marengo CIMS Hospitals has been using this AI-enabled biosensor technology for more than two and a half years for patients at high risk of cardiac and other life-threatening conditions," said Dr. Dhiren Shah, director of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery and Heart Transplant Programme at Marengo CIMS Hospital.

Unlike conventional in-hospital monitoring, the platform follows patients through discharge and home recovery, allowing doctors to remotely track high-risk individuals with heart failure, weakened heart function, stroke risk, asthma, and other chronic conditions. The system continuously analyses patient data to generate early warning scores, risk insights, and real-time clinical summaries for treating physicians. A dedicated clinical team at the command centre verifies alerts and coordinates with doctors when intervention is required.

Dr Raajiv Singhal, Managing Director and CEO of Marengo Asia Healthcare, said the system combines continuous monitoring, risk stratification, AI-assisted documentation and coordinated escalation protocols to support clinical decision-making.

According to the hospital, the technology has also contributed to reducing ICU stays and treatment costs by enabling earlier identification of patients at risk of deterioration and allowing timely clinical intervention.
