Seeing more is one thing.
Acting sooner is the question that matters.
We know that the Visual Patient Avatar helps clinicians perceive more vital sign information faster than conventional monitoring.
But does this also translate into earlier clinical reactions during everyday care in the operating room?
That is what we are currently studying at University Hospital Zurich and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, with statistical support from ETH Zurich.
Our BMJ Open study protocol is now online, and the first results will be coming in soon.
The image from the paper below shows the Visual Patient Avatar where it belongs: in the real clinical environment.
For colleagues attending ANESTHESIOLOGY 2026 in San Diego: Zachary A. Turnbull, MD, MBA, MS and I will also present the Visual Patient Avatar during a lunch symposium on Saturday, October 17, from 12:00–1:00 pm Pacific time.
I would be very happy to see many of you there. 🌱
