TMS is commercializing clinical decision support software applications that provide critical care physicians and staff with remarkable insights into patient status and prognosis. Seamlessly integrating with existing monitors, our software applications continuously analyze patient vital sign variability in order to detect changes in patient health status not otherwise observable using current standard-of-care monitoring in the ICU.
Clinical studies to date strongly indicate that CIMVA holds the promise of significantly improving the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of critically ill patients, enabling more timely and effective critical care decisions and reduced cost of care.
