Inventor(s) include Suvarna P; Shanma E; Prasanna Kumar E; and Anitha J.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "System and Method for Intelligent ICU Monitoring and Alarm Reduction The present disclosure relates to a method and system of physiology-aware, intelligent intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring and alarm governance. The method and system monitor multiple parameters of physiological data through various types of patient monitoring sensors, and evaluate how much each type of sensor is working and where the data came from to determine its reliability. A physiological causality modelling engine executes a function to assess the relationship of physiological events between all of the parameters being measured, as opposed to just the ones that exceed a certain threshold. The model also evaluates clinical and treatment context (temporal persistence) and recovery trajectories in order to compute an alarm confidence score. Based upon this alarm confidence score generated, a controller dynamically controls how alarms are generated, suppressed, escalated, and selected (modality) depending upon that score. Overall, the system and method presented in this document decrease the amount of non-actionable alarms due to artefactual or expected changes in clinical behaviour while still allowing timely detection of meaningful patient deterioration. The reduction in false alarms generated by clinicians in ICUs allows for better reliability of alarms, faster response time by clinicians, and increased patient safety. Thus, the integrated nature of this alarm control system has significant benefits for intensive care environments."
