Introduction of the Sandman.MD at the Catholic St. Lukas Society in Dortmund

Shortly before the end of this difficult year, we have more good news - our mobile anesthesia documentation system Sandman.MD will soon be used by the doctors and nurses of the Catholic St. Lukas Society in Dortmund.

Thanks to the good cooperation and joint compliance with strict Corona requirements over the past months, we have succeeded in ensuring that the first of the three hospitals - St.-Josefs-Hospital in Dortmund-Hörde - will be able to start work with full use of Sandman.MD at the beginning of next year.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all those involved and to the staff of the Catholic St. Lukas Society in Dortmund!

Grant application won within the scope of Horizon 2020!

We, at app@work, are proud to announce that we, together with the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main and 19 partners from 14 European countries, have won the tender for an EU project funded by H2020.

As part of ENVISION, we will develop an intelligent decision support system for monitoring, predicting and treating COVID-19 patients in intensive care units - called Sandman.ICU - based on our mobile anesthesia documentation Sandman.MD.

In addition to the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main, 13 other university hospitals from other European countries, industry-leading companies such as Löwenstein medical and Intelligent Data Analytics, as well as the European Society for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine are involved in the project.

The project will start on December 1, 2020 and we believe that Sandman.ICU will make a significant difference in intensive care units by enabling intensive care physicians to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of their decisions for the benefit of COVID-19 and other intensive care patients in Europe.

We are looking forward to working together with our partners.

One year of operation at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main

For over a year now, the University Hospital Frankfurt has been successfully operating Sandman.MD, the digital mobile solution for complete anesthesia documentation. After initially equipping the 15 operating theatres in the central operating theatre, Sandman.MD is now in use in all 30 operating theatres, including the emergency rooms.

The values of the vital parameters and gases are transmitted to the iPads via Bluetooth everywhere, almost 150 iPads are equipped with Sandman.MD.

All anesthesiologists are equipped with an iPad, which allows them to enter and retrieve all important information for the treatment of a patient. Manual documentation activities are reduced to a minimum.

Working with paper is a thing of the past in anesthesia at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main.

Hospital Tabea Hamburg: From pilot to group

The hospital Tabea in Hamburg, which belongs to the Artemed clinic group, has been using Sandman.MD successfully for more than half a year now.

In addition to the time savings for the doctors and the significantly higher documentation quality, the evaluation possibilities from the anesthesia data are one of the main advantages for the clinic. For example, the previously time-consuming work of providing the data for the core data set is now taken over by the Sandman.MD system and delivered at the push of a button.

After Sandman.MD has been implemented within four weeks at the end of 2017, it will now be rolled out successively in the group after a successful pilot deployment.

Dr. Stork, Chief Anesthesiologist of the Tabea Hospital and Dr. Behar, Managing Director of the Artemed Clinic Group, comment in the article „Digitales Anästhesieprotokoll in Hamburger Fachklinik“ von „Management & Krankenhaus“ on the particularities of Sandman.MD from their point of view.
