IBM, has partnered with healthcare technology vendor, VISICU to wire a telemedicine network to provide remote critical care support to military hospitals along the Pacific Rim. The system includes IBM BladeCenter servers and a VISICU product, which enables remote monitoring of intensive care units. Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu will manage the remote monitoring and support system using VISICU’s eICU technology on IBM BladeCenter servers in collaboration with the University of Hawaii. The eICU center in collaboration with remote military hospitals will provide an enhanced care to active duty military personnel and their families. VISICU’s eICU solution electronically connects military hospital throughout the Pacific Rim with the remote eICU centre in Hawaii.
