ReSCUE-ME (Realtime Streaming Clinical Use Engine for Medical Escalation) is an innovative pragmatic clinical trial designed to evaluate whether machine learning algorithms can be used to predict clinical deterioration. A sophisticated computer algorithm will monitor laboratory, vital signs, nursing notes and other data and generate an alert to your nurse and doctor should the computer suspect you are at risk of getting sicker while in the hospital.
The ReSCUE-ME study was ended on March 19, 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. Thank you to all patients who participated.
Update March 2024
The results of the study have been published in the journal Critical Care Medicine:
