N2 - Monitoring and treatment of severely ill COVID-19 patients in the ICU poses many chal-lenges. The effort to understand the pathophysiology and progress of the disease requires high-quality annotated multi-parameter databases. We present CoCross, a platform that enables the monitoring and fusion of clinical information from in-ICU COVID-19 patients into an annotated database. CoCross consists of three components: (1) The CoCross4Pros native android application, a modular application, managing the interaction with portable medical devices, (2) the cloud-based data management services built-upon HL7 FHIR and ontologies, (3) the web-based application for intensivists, providing real-time review and analytics of the acquired measurements and ausculta-tions. The platform has been successfully deployed since June 2020 in two ICUs in Greece resulting in a dynamic unified annotated database integrating clinical information with chest sounds and diagnostic imaging. Until today multisource data from 176 ICU patients were acquired and im-ported in the CoCross database, corresponding to a five-day average monitoring period including a dataset with 3477 distinct auscultations. The platform is well accepted and positively rated by the users regarding the overall experience.
