Company description

We bring data-driven, AI-powered Operations Health, established and evolved in Enterprise IT, to Healthcare. The CalmWave team has decades of experience using empirical evidence, data science, and hard-won best practices to improve employee retention and overall operational efficiency for organizations. Our goal is to empower nurses and administrators to build more equitable, less stressful, efficient work environments resulting in improved retention and patient outcomes.

Who solve this problem?

Alarms in ICUs are a scourge affecting clinicians, patients, and caregivers. Nurses go home after a hard twelve-hour shift and have their PTSD triggered by the beeping of their microwaves. Patients recovering from major surgery and trying to sleep are kept from doing so by beeping next to their heads every few minutes. Add in the fact that 80-99% of these alarms are false positives, and you can understand the gravity of the situation.
