Ophir on Tech Scenes with Jeff James Martin: Sharing why the data to fix ICU alarm chaos has been there all along

That constant barrage can lead to what experts call alarm fatigue, causing stress and exhaustion for doctors and nurses who must distinguish between routine signals and those indicating a patient is in urgent distress. Patients, too, often struggle to rest amid the cacophony, even though sleep is critical to recovery.

How CalmWave solved ICU alarm chaos with AI

Why is ICU alarm chaos still unsolved — 50 years after the first papers on alarm fatigue?

I sat down with Jeff James Martin on Tech Scenes to unpack it:

–The data to solve the problem already exists, but it’s siloed.
–CalmWave is the first to fuse vitals, alarms, and EMR data in real time.
–Transparent AI means clinicians see why — safety and trust first, automation second.

And the results speak for themselves:

✔️ 50%+ reduction in non-actionable ICU alarms
✔️ 10 fewer hours of alarm exposure per average patient stay
✔️ All in just 6 weeks (Wellstar Catalyst case study)

What we’re doing isn’t just about alarms. It’s about building the signal foundation for the next era of hospital operations.
