Fifth Eye’s AHI-PI Demonstrates Ability to Detect Patient Deterioration Prior to Rapid Response Team Events: New Study Published in PLOS Digital Health
Fifth Eye, Inc., a spin-off of the Max Harry Weil Institute for Critical Care Research and Innovation, announced the publication of a new study in the peer-reviewed journal, PLOS Digital Health, demonstrating the power of the company’s Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability-Predictive Indicator (AHI-PI) in predicting patient deterioration before a Rapid Response Team (RRT) event. An RRT event occurs when a dedicated team of healthcare professionals is mobilized to respond to a patient's critical deterioration. Detecting patient deterioration early is crucial, as it provides clinicians with more time to intervene, potentially preventing crises, improving patient outcomes, and reducing hospital costs.

Across the University of Michigan, members of the Weil Institute (formerly MCIRCC) are transforming critical care through groundbreaking research. Our unique approach uses multidisciplinary team science, big data analytics, specialized funding sources, and tailored commercialization pathway plans to push research from the bench to real applications in patient care.
