Navigator™

Navigator™ is a clinical decision support system that enables a systematic approach to hemodynamic management. Navigator™ is Applied Physiology’s flagship product and is due for release early next year pending regulatory approval.

Navigator™ connects to conventional monitors and uses a series of mathematical algorithms draw a map of the patient’s position in relation to a target area. The target area is drawn based on patient specific pressure and flow targets set by the clinician. An arrow represents the patient position and its trajectory indicates the direction of therapy that will move the patient toward to target area. This self-adaptive protocol enhances teamwork and standardizes care by unifying the goals of the clinicians.

This implementation of targeted therapy is expected to improve patient outcomes in critical care units.

Navigator is designed for use in critical care units where resuscitation, stabilization and optimization of hemodynamic and oxygen metabolism is required. It is recommended for use on a broad range of patients including those undergoing or suffering from:

  • Pre and post open heart surgery
  • Pre and post major surgery
  • Hypo/Hypervolemic shock
  • Septic shock
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Drug overdose
  • Sedated patients
  • Renal failure
  • Major burns
  • Major trauma

This device is not available for sale or distribution. Regulatory applications have been lodged.

“Any device that can instantaneously represent the state of the patient and help you control that patient while [you’re] doing all the other aspects of your job is so potentially beneficial it’s incredible. That’s what the Navigator can do.”
