Corpison is developing a suite of auditory displays for monitoring patient vital signs in the critical care environment. Developed by researchers at The University of Queensland, Corpison’s technology reduces dependence on visual monitors, supports faster detection of clinically significant events, and helps anaesthetists maintain peripheral awareness of patient status. The system generates rhythmic sounds with changes in the pitch or rate correlated to changes in the patient’s vital signs. The information this system provides can then support continuous diagnosis of the patient, which is a superior alternative to traditional audible alarms.
