Sramana Mitra: This 30 million patient data is all from your customer base or are you using any other kind of data?

Shantanu Nigam: A lot of this data has been owned by our customer base. We’re allowed to use it. We’ve bought some of the data from the industry. Some of it is the census kind of data. It’s a mix of a lot of sources.

Shantanu Nigam: Most of our nurses are in the profession because they care about the patient. When you have a probabilistic system, by design, it will have one patient slip through it and will not be 100% accurate.

When the nurses care about the patients so much and they see that one patient slips through, their confidence in these solutions goes down. Change management becomes even more complex here. We have to get them through that mindshift.

Thought Leaders in Healthcare IT: Matt Johnson, CEO of EarlySense (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: What is the level of penetration of your technology in the healthcare system right now?

Matt Johnson: The answer is very low but very rapidly growing. Let’s say we have a million hospital beds in the US. About 25% of those are already monitored in a really sophisticated and, frankly, complicated way. Picture an ICU bed or a telemetry bed. There are devices surrounding the bed. There are wires and chest straps.
