Description |
A desktop application with a rich graphical interface that runs on a Windows computer. Connects directly to (only) 1 device using cables. Records and/or streams data. |
Runs in the background as a Windows Service. Connects directly to (only) 1 device using cables. Records and/or streams data. Intended for continuous long-term operation or embedding into 3rd Party systems. |
Runs from a command line on Windows computers. Connects directly to (only) 1 medical device using cables. No user interface. Returns the current values of all numeric signals to a text file. Is intended for embedding into 3rd party applications that want to poll data. |
A server-based application which captures data from multiple medical devices across a network. Records and/or streams live data out to external system. Intended for continuous long-term operation. |
Benefits |
• Portable • Easy to install. No training or professional services required. • Can begin acquiring data quickly • Does not touch LAN network • De-identified data |
• Can run invisibly in background • Continuously record/stream data • Does not touch LAN network • De-identified data • Easy to install. No training or professional services required. |
• Low-cost • Can run invisibly in background • Very easy to deploy and embed into 3rd party systems • Able to quickly poll for latest values • Does not touch LAN network • De-identified data • Easy to update/maintain |
• Low-cost • Continuously record/stream data • Captures data across a network • De-identified data • Easy to install. No training or professional services required. |
Use Cases |
• Researchers who want to record vital signs for a clinical study • Medical device companies who want to validation test their device • AI/Analytics companies who want to gather data for building/testing algorithms |
• Medical device manufacturers that want to retrieve waveforms into their own device/system • Research group who wants to continuously record data multiple beds • Hospital who wants to continuously stream vital signs into an EMR/HIS system using HL7 |
• Integator who wants to retrieve vital signs into an EMR/HIS system at click of a mouse • CDS developer who wants to occasionally poll vital signs to run an algorithm |
• Hospital who wants to continuously stream live vital signs data from multiple medical devices into an EMR/HIS system • Large scale research group who wants to continuously record data from multiple beds simultaneously across a network |

Automation |
Auto-launch capability can be enabled using a configuration file. Because it runs as a Windows application (with a GUI), a user must be logged in to Windows to use it. |
Auto-launches when the computer starts up. No login necessary. |
Runs on-demand. Executes when the command line is executed, and then stops. Useful for polling values. |
Auto-launches when the computer starts up. No login necessary. |
Signals |
Waveforms and numerics. (Except for certain medical devices which can only export numerics) |
