Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, has won the prestigious CIO 100 Award. The Company was recognized for its groundbreaking efforts to develop a tool to predict intradialytic hypotension (IDH) before it occurs in hemodialysis patients. IDH is a frequent complication of long-term hemodialysis that can lead to serious clinical outcomes including death and is difficult to predict.
The Renal Research Institute (RRI), a division of Fresenius Medical Care, and the Company's Digital Technology & Innovation (DTI) team, developed a secure data pipeline that collects real time data from dialysis machines and medical sensors throughout the United States at a high frequency.
The increased data flow allows machine learning and cloud computing to develop a real-time IDH prediction for patients. Clinic teams use the information to specially tailor treatment plans and proactively intervene at the point of care preventing IDH, potentially improving patients’ morbidity and mortality.
“This is a true example of partnership, collaboration, and teamwork, and we are proud that our commitment to bring it to the next level of these exciting technologies will result in a better care experience for our patients, and most importantly, improve quality of life and patient outcomes,” said Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Global Chief Medical Officer and Member of the Board of Fresenius Medical Care.
The CIO 100 Awards celebrates 100 organizations and the teams within them that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver business value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimizing business processes, enabling growth, or improving relationships with customers. Because it is given to companies and not individuals, it is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence.
