The technology developed at the University of Michigan continuously uses data from a single electrocardiogram lead
An artificial intelligence-driven device that works to detect and predict hemodynamic instability may provide a more accurate picture of patient deterioration than traditional vital sign measurements, a Michigan Medicine study suggests.
Researchers captured data from over 5,000 adult patients at University of Michigan Health with the Analytic for Hemodynamic Instability. Developed at the U-M Weil Institute for Critical Care Research and Innovation, AHI is a software as a medical device designed to detect and predict changes in hemodynamic status in real-time using data from a single electrocardiogram lead. The researchers compared the results against gold standard vital sign measurements of continuous heart rate and blood pressure measured by invasive arterial monitoring in several intensive care units to determine if the AHI could indicate hemodynamic instability in real-time.
They found that the AHI detected standard indications of hemodynamic instability, a combination of elevated heart rate and low blood pressure, with nearly 97% sensitivity and 79% specificity. The results are published in Critical Care Explorations (a Society of Critical Care Medicine journal).

“AHI performs extremely well, and it functions in a way that we think may have transformative clinical utility,” Bassin said. “Most vital signs measurements are static, subject to human error, and require validation and interpretation. AHI is the opposite of that. It’s dynamic, produces a binary output of ‘stable’ or ‘unstable,’ and it may enable early martialing of resources to patients who may not have been on a clinician’s radar.”
Traditional vital signs have limitations, including limited accuracy in non-invasive monitoring and the fact that patients who are not at obvious risk for immediate deterioration may only be monitored periodically every 4-6 hours or longer. The AHI, which was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2021 and is licensed to Fifth Eye, Inc. (a U-M spinoff), was designed to address those limitations.
“The vision of AHI was born out of our continued inability to identify unstable patients and to predict when patients would become unstable, especially in settings where they cannot be intensively monitored, said co-author Kevin Ward, M.D., executive director of the Weil Institute and professor of emergency medicine and biomedical engineering at Michigan Medicine.
“AHI is ideally suited to be utilized with wearable monitors such as ECG patches, that could make any hospital bed, waiting room or other setting into a sophisticated monitoring environment. The implication of such a technology is that it has the potential to save lives not only in the hospital, but also at home, in the ambulance and on the battlefield.”
Researchers say future studies are needed to determine if AHI provides clinical and resource allocation benefits in patients undergoing infrequent blood pressure monitoring. The next phase of research will focus on how AHI is used at Michigan Medicine.
