Popis:	Delirium is the most frequent psychiatric syndrome in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This form of acute brain dysfunction predicts higher mortality rates and is associated with longterm cognitive impairment after ICU discharge (Ely et al. 2004, Pandharipande et al. 2013). Therefore, delirium prevention bundles have become an integral part of guideline recommendations. Clinical trials investigating pharmacological strategies to combat ICU delirium have failed to demonstrate results in terms of improved patient outcomes. Hence, the focus has moved towards non-pharmacological approaches. Mission – Innovation: Telematics, eHealth and High-Definition Medicine in Patient-Centered Acute Medicine, p. 171
