Real-Time COVID+ ICU Bed Availability Monitoring

Hi HN, I wanted to share with you a project we've been working on intensely over the last couple weeks to respond to the COVID crisis in France: https://icubam.net. It is a simple SMS-distributed form to collect ICU availability information directly from doctors as the standard reporting routes were too complex and becoming stale. We are currently collecting near real-time bed availability information from over 250 doctors, 115 ICUs and helping manage >2000 ICU beds. Our experience is that this type of software can be a life-saver for quickly finding beds to transfer patients to…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, I wanted to share with you a project we've been working on intensely over the last couple weeks to respond to the COVID crisis in France: https://icubam.net. It is a simple SMS-distributed form to collect ICU availability information directly from doctors as the standard reporting routes were too complex and becoming stale. We are currently collecting near real-time bed availability information from over 250 doctors, 115 ICUs and helping manage >2000 ICU beds. Our experience is that this type of software can be a life-saver for quickly finding beds to transfer patients to when an ICU ward gets full. I'm advertising this here in case you think that your local healthcare system could take advantage of it, it is all open-source, has an easy back-office so that doctors can add each other (which helped us grow from 0 to more than 1/2 of France in two weeks), and can easily be deployed as a docker instance (still a bit patchy, the 'official' deployment is by hand, but the docker image seems to work well). Please get in touch at [email protected] if you have any questions.

    We've created an engineering group to help in the event of a severe COVID-19 crisis. Right now we have engineers, PhDs, and the owner of a manufacturing company, with a supply chain and offices in New York, Florida, and Taiwan. The idea behind the group is that a COVID-19 outbreak might be something our medical system hasn't seen before. There may be shortages or special needs of medical equipment and other resources. We think we can help by building certain devices. We probably can't build ICUs, but we could provide real help to a burdened medical front-line in a crisis. We're doing this in…
