Professor John Fraser discusses the Critical Care Research Group's ICU Delirium app

The Critical Care Research Group has developed an innovative app designed to enable efficient and sensitive screening for delirium without specialist training. Delirium, a common complication of an intensive care unit (ICU) admission, is inconsistently diagnosed by clinicians. Current screening tools require specialist expertise and/or training. Some are time-consuming to administer, and reliability in routine clinical practice is questionable.

The #CriticalCareResearchGroup's innovative app is designed to enable efficient and sensitive screening for delirium without specialist training (eDIS-ICU). The bedside electronic tool has the potential to revolutionise delirium screening.

The Critical Care Research Group is headquartered at #MetroNorth's The Prince Charles Hospital. To learn more about the Group's collaborative research project, please visit ccrg.org.au
