🔔 Alarms vs. Alerts: What’s the Difference? In healthcare, understanding the distinction between alarms and alerts is critical. Alarms originate from medical devices, software, and systems, signaling that something may be going wrong. On the other hand, alerts are the notifications that reach the right people when immediate action is needed. In this sense, alarms are the raw signals, while alerts are the calls to action for the team to respond. The noise can be overwhelming when hundreds of alarms go off each shift—leading to what’s known as #AlarmFatigue. When clinicians are bombarded with alarms, it’s easy to miss the truly urgent ones, which can compromise patient safety. Additionally, patients can be detrimentally affected by the constant noise to the point where outcomes are seriously harmed. At #CalmWave, we have finally solved the endemic issue of alarm fatigue by streamlining alarms and ensuring that only the most critical notifications turn into actionable alerts. Our AI-driven platform reduces noise, minimizes false alarms, and helps clinical teams respond to what's truly important—keeping both patients and providers safe. #HealthcareInnovation #PatientSafety #HealthcareAI #NurseBurnout #HospitalManagement

Our deep data analysis of ICU patient bedside monitor alarms reveals that nurses do change bedside alarm settings from the default alarm limits. Unfortunately, they must estimate the appropriate alarm limits to make these changes. At CalmWave, we provide bedside nurses with the necessary rationale and supporting data to enable them to make safe, data-driven adjustments to their patient’s monitors.

Nurses are facing burnout, and alarm fatigue is one of the biggest contributors. In this video, a former nurse recruiter shares his powerful story about how the overwhelming, constant noise of the hospital floor is pushing nurses to their limits. These alarms, while necessary, can desensitize healthcare workers and lead to missed signals—and, in some cases, life-altering outcomes. It’s time to acknowledge the impact of alarm fatigue and take action to reduce burnout in our nursing teams. Watch this video to hear more about how we can support our nurses. #NurseBurnout #AlertFatigue #HealthcareLeadership #NurseWellbeing #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare
