New AI camera solution from Siemens Healthineers gives nurses more time and supports patient safety in intensive care units
An advanced camera solution with artificial intelligence has achieved CE-marking and supports nurses’ work and patient safety at the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at Rigshospitalet.
- AI camera solution for intensive care units obtains CE mark.
- The solution has been created through successful collaboration between Siemens Healthineers, the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Treatment at Rigshospitalet and the MedTech company M2Call, which is part of the Zibra Group.
- Great scaling potential in Denmark and internationally.
The intelligent camera solution, Migo, was developed to address the challenges posed by the increased use of single-patient rooms in new hospitals for healthcare staff in intensive care units. In these departments, the requirement to be constantly present with the patient creates challenges for the staff, who often need to briefly leave the room to carry out other relevant tasks. The camera solution, which has recently obtained CE-marking, enables nurses to monitor patients 24/7 through notifications and live video streaming, benefiting patients, relatives, and staff. With Migo, nurses can ‘carry their patient in their pocket,’ potentially freeing up resources in a busy clinical environment. The solution is already in operation at the Neurointensive Care Unit at Rigshospitalet.
Created in collaboration with nurses
The camera solution was developed in close collaboration with clinical staff from the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at Rigshospitalet, Siemens Healthineers, and the MedTech company M2Call. The clinical staff have been actively involved throughout the development process, with their clinical needs and patient safety as focal points. During development, user tests were continuously conducted, and feedback from healthcare staff played a decisive role in optimizing the solution’s functionality and user experience.
“The collaboration with Siemens Healthineers and Rigshospitalet has been essential for the development of Migo, as their insights into user needs, patient safety, and market dynamics have been invaluable in our work to develop the technology. The strong collaboration has also been crucial to our success in developing a product that has obtained the CE mark in just four years and can now benefit both healthcare staff and patients in intensive care units,” says Michael Lange, CEO of M2Call.
Great growth potential at home and abroad
Siemens Healthineers is the exclusive global distributor for intensive care units and is ready to roll out the solution.
“Initially, we are focusing on the Danish market before expanding to the Nordics. This product is unique and a natural extension of our portfolio, where we aim to innovate — including solutions that may not traditionally fit within our core modalities, such as scanners, beam guns, and laboratory equipment. We see Denmark as a key market for developing new technology that addresses specific challenges in the healthcare sector, not only in Denmark but globally” says Ole Nygaard, Head of Digital, Nordic and Baltic countries at Siemens Healthineers.
The patient in the pocket
The AI technology in Migo detects clinically significant, potentially critical movements and sends a notification to staff via an app on a smart device, indicating the detected movement and allowing real-time video access to the patient. This ensures that the patient remains “in the pocket” of healthcare professionals. Health technology and innovation are central to the future of healthcare, and as a result, there are high expectations for the solution’s scalability across Denmark and internationally.
