Background

Thousands of patients in European intensive care units (ICUs) develop high glucose levels due to shock and trauma and have a much higher risk of dying or developing complications as a result.

Recent studies have brought evidence that the normalisation of blood glucose levels using intensive insulin therapy, i.e. tight glycaemic control, reduces morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients.

Our Mission

To help improve metabolic control in critically ill patients in order to enhance survival chances in intensive care and to increase efficiency in clinical practice.

Our Goal

Developing a low-risk monitoring and control system (CLINICIP system) which helps ICU staff to maintain metabolic control in critically ill patients.
