Intensive care units can now even be supervised via tele or remote ICU systems, providing surveillance and support to a large number of ICUs in distant or remote sites by a centralized multidisciplinary critical care team. In Egypt, modern technologies are in progress and development in the field of critical care management, especially in keeping records and databases for the patients. Egypt develop a technology solution and enterprise model that organizes the time slots for baby incubators and/or ICUs and keeps track of the vacant time slots.
