Innovations in technology have been a cornerstone in the advancement of anesthesiology and its contributions toward improving patient safety and outcomes. Burgeoning consumer technologies have expectedly moved into the health care space as both technology industry and health care delivery systems enthusiastically explore how new innovations improve patient care, workflow efficiencies, and reduce cost. Perioperative care generates a wealth of data matched by few other domains in medicine. Anesthesiologists are tasked with consuming a multitude of data quickly to avoid risk and keep patients safe. The development of tools to help clinicians collect and process information is rapidly increasing and central to the innovation moving through perioperative medicine, including telemedicine.1,2 Over the next decade, data tasks will be increasingly performed by computer-based systems, offering new, exciting pathways to improved care – if challenges that inevitably accompany such innovation can be overcome. Changes in how data are consumed and acted...
