Abstract

Riyoour Koulo

Intensive Care Units (ICUs) play a vital role in the care and treatment of critically ill patients, often involving continuous monitoring of their vital signs and conditions. With the advancement of technology, there has been a growing interest in avatar-based patient monitoring, where digital representations of patients are created to enhance real-time data visualization and clinical decision-making. This article presents an international investigation into user views of avatar-based sequential mixed-methods patient monitoring in ICUs, exploring the potential benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations associated with this innovative approach.
