About PeraHealth
PeraHealth, now operating as part of Spacelabs Healthcare, specializes in transforming healthcare through the intelligent use of data, primarily leveraging its proprietary Rothman Index. This FDA-cleared, clinically validated patient acuity score synthesizes vast amounts of electronic health record (EHR) data into a single, intuitive measure of a patient’s overall condition, trended over time. For physicians, this means access to real-time, predictive analytics that can identify subtle signs of patient deterioration across any age, disease, or care unit, enabling earlier intervention and potentially reducing adverse events.
The company’s solutions, such as PeraTrend and PeraAnalytics, provide a visual dashboard of patient conditions, helping clinicians prioritize bedside visits, optimize ICU bed utilization, and improve documentation accuracy. These tools are designed to enhance clinical decision-making by alerting care teams to at-risk patients, thereby reducing in-hospital mortality, unplanned transfers to the ICU, and facilitating timely palliative care consults. PeraHealth’s technology integrates seamlessly with major EHR systems, requiring no additional manual data entry, and supports various use cases including sepsis detection, chronic disease management, and remote monitoring.
Given the acquisition by Spacelabs Healthcare in February 2023, PeraHealth’s innovative predictive analytics capabilities are now integrated into Spacelabs’ broader digital health portfolio, aiming to further empower care teams with actionable insights for superior patient outcomes and cost reduction.
