A disclaimer from our Sponsor, Philips: Sentry Score is a predictive algorithm for the adult intensive care unit (ICU) that shows a patient’s probability of receiving an intervention within 60 minutes. Sentry Score patient risk predictions are continuously updated as new vital sign data are received providing deeper insights into the patients’ trajectory, which can potentially provide the opportunity for earlier intervention. Sentry Score is a proprietary, locked, algorithm developed as a regression Machine Learning model using patterns of vital sign data from Philips eICU Research Institute (eRI) associated with clinical interventions. References to AI within this podcast are related to the application of Machine Learning in the algorithm development; Sentry Score is not actively changing.
