CalmWave, creator of the Calm ICU and a leader in eliminating non-actionable alarms through healthcare data science and transparent AI, announced a collaboration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to help improve the endemic issue of alarm fatigue in healthcare. CalmWave plans to leverage OCI to accelerate AI pipelines and enable seamless scalability for big data ecosystems to deliver CalmWave’s innovative Hospital Operations platform to hospital networks worldwide.
“Our platform delivers a first-of-its-kind, data-driven approach to improving hospital operations. Solving alarm fatigue and enhancing safety in ICUs requires the ability to process vast amounts of data with advanced technology. After migrating to OCI and Oracle Autonomous Database, we achieved a 12x increase in processing speed and reduced per-query costs by an astonishing 1171x—enabling us to run our Transparent AI algorithms with unprecedented efficiency,” said Ophir Ronen, founder and CEO of CalmWave. “Oracle has proven a world-class partner, accelerating our growth as we scale our Calm ICU platform globally. This deepening collaboration is a testament to Oracle’s commitment to transforming healthcare technology through rapid innovation.”

“CalmWave is bringing an innovative and focused approach to addressing the long-standing challenge of alarm fatigue in ICUs. CalmWave is leveraging OCI’s purpose-built AI capabilities to run its most mission-critical AI workloads faster and more reliably,” said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “By leveraging OCI’s rapidly growing number of cloud regions globally and expansive footprint in healthcare, CalmWave can accelerate the delivery of this solution to hospitals worldwide.”
Non-actionable alarms make up 80-99% of alarms in ICUs, contributing to a well-recognized and widespread issue known as alarm fatigue. Alarm fatigue occurs when the constant flood of alarms overwhelms both clinicians and patients. This situation can lead to missed or delayed responses by nurses and contributes to excessive noise in ICUs, hindering patient recovery and increasing risks such as ICU delirium.
