Classification of Methods to Reduce Clinical Alarm Signals for Remote Patient Monitoring: A Critical Review
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is an emerging technology paradigm that helps reduce clinician workload by automated monitoring and raising intelligent alarm signals. High sensitivity and intelligent data-processing algorithms used in RPM devices result in frequent false-positive alarms, resulting in alarm fatigue. This study aims to critically review the existing literature to identify the causes of these false-positive alarms and categorize the various interventions used in the literature to eliminate these causes. That act as a catalog and helps in false alarm reduction algorithm design. A step-by-step approach to building an effective alarm signal generator for clinical use has been proposed in this work. Second, the possible causes of false-positive alarms amongst RPM applications were analyzed from the literature. Third, a critical review has been done of the various interventions used in the literature depending on causes and classification based on four major approaches: clinical knowledge, physiological data, medical sensor devices, and clinical environments. A practical clinical alarm strategy could be developed by following our pentagon approach. The first phase of this approach emphasizes identifying the various causes for the high number of false-positive alarms. Future research will focus on developing a false alarm reduction method using data mining.

A Feature Selection Method Based on Shapley Value to False Alarm Reduction in ICUs, A Genetic-Algorithm Approach
High false alarm rate in intensive care units (ICUs) has been identified as one of the most critical medical challenges in recent years. This often results in overwhelming the clinical staff by numerous false or unurgent…
feature selectionSigmaMedStat: Temporal Signal Modeling for ICU False Alarm Reduction
Alarm fatigue in intensive care units (ICUs) is a well documented patient safety crisis. Clinical monitors generate 350 or more alarms per patient per day, out of which 72-99% are clinically irrelevant. Staff desensitiza…
An Unsupervised Feature Learning Approach to Reduce False Alarm Rate in ICUs
The high rate of false alarms in intensive care units (ICUs) is one of the top challenges of using medical technology in hospitals. These false alarms are often caused by patients' movements, detachment of monitoring sen…
