Mashlom.Me
A software system for managing critical procedures performed in the emergency room, and in particular resuscitation (CPR).
The Vision
mashlom.me aims to improve medicine in Israel by providing everyday tools and aids that improve the doctor's experience, reduce cognitive load, create uniform care within the hospital and, in the end, uniform care between hospitals.
Challenges:
The shock room (or resuscitation bay) in an emergency department is one of the most intense and high-stakes environments in a hospital. Doctors and interns working in this space face numerous challenges, including:
-
High-Stress Environment: Time-sensitive decisions, emotional toll, and decision fatigue.
-
Team Coordination: Multi-disciplinary teamwork challenges, hierarchy issues, and communication breakdowns.
-
Clinical Uncertainty: Atypical presentations, limited patient information, and managing multiple critical patients.
-
Resource Management: Equipment malfunctions, supply shortages, and medication errors.
-
Legal & Ethical Issues: End-of-life decisions and consent dilemmas.
-
Learning Curve: Intern inexperience, confidence issues, and physical/mental fatigue.
-
Safety Concerns: Infection control and potential for violence/aggression.
