Shaping the ICU together
—Intensive care is one of the most demanding environments in modern medicine—where every second counts, and patients depend on precise, timely decisions. Yet rising patient complexity, staff shortages, and inefficient processes put increasing pressure on clinical teams.
Digitisation and connected medical systems allow hospitals to unlock smarter workflows, reduce manual burden, and support clinicians with therapy assistance in real time. The result is more time for what truly matters—caring for patients—while creating a smarter, calmer, and more efficient ICU environment.
Smarter care in the ICU
—Discover how we enable smarter intensive care through interoperability—for caregivers and patients alike.
Digital solutions for the ICU
—As a solution provider of interoperable products, we deliver new capabilities to streamline your clinical workflows and efficiently manage your medical equipment. Learn more about our strategy for alarm handling, remote care and connected maintenance.
Creating a healing environment
—With up to 350 alarms per patient per day1, ICUs are significantly louder than the WHO guideline of 35 dBA, peaking at 127.9 dBA.2
We support you to create a healing environment for a reduction of alarm related stress factors and cognitive impairment by providing a holistic solution:
- Identify main alarm sources in Alarm History Analytics and track the impact of countermeasures over time
- Reduce alarms based on tailored consultancy from our experts
- Reliably forward alarms to caregivers outside the patient room in a Distributed Alarm System (DAS) using our Targeted Alarm Service
- Simultaneously silence alarms of native SDC devices in the patient room with the Silent Care Package for Evita V600, Evita V800 and Infinity Acute Care System
Systematic alarm management for a silent ICU
Too many alarms in the ICU are causing alarm fatigue and stress. Learn more about our strategy to create a silent ICU in the following infographic.

Smart and Silent ICU research project
—
Imagine an ICU where unnecessary alarms are minimised, clinical decisions are guided by real-time data, and stress is reduced—for both staff and patients.
Funded by the European Union, the Smart and Silent ICU (SASICU) research project explores new intelligent ways to support clinical decision-making and alarm management in intensive care. The SASICU project brings together European clinics, research institutes and medical device manufacturers to generate synergies and develop meaningful solutions. Using the ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC standard for medical device interoperability, the project group aims to evaluate the impact of standardised, open and secure connection between medical devices and artificial intelligence.

Connecting trends and technology
—We shape the foundation for a future-ready healthcare ecosystem that empowers staff in achieving better outcomes and assisting with efficient workflows. Learn more about how we enable smarter care with technologies based on open interoperability standards, high quality data, and robust system security.
Open interoperability standards
We are committed to implement open standards, such as ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC, to drive seamless integration across multi-vendor systems for data sharing and meaningful clinical applications.
Medical-grade data
Trust in interoperability requires accurate, reliable data. Our SDC-based systems provide clinicians with data in medical-grade quality for informed clinical decision-making.
Safe and secure connectivity
As part of the shared responsibility for cybersecurity, we systematically safeguard patient data, protect products and interconnected systems from evolving cyber threats.
