Capture data from multiple patient monitors on your network
Capture patient monitor data from multiple medical devices across a network using MediCollector
Our latest product is available for download!  MediCollector CENTRAL can capture, record and stream data from multiple patient monitors on your network.  

​As shown here, each patient monitor is connected to your network using an Ethernet adapter which allows MediCollector to remotely capture data across your network.  Data can be stored to disk for analysis or streamed out to external systems using HL7 2.3 or HL7 FHIR.

Bulk Export

11/5/2024

PictureNow you can select multiple files for export
Some users record so much data with MediCollector that they end up with lots of datafiles (.medi files).  If you have lots of datafiles, and want to export to TXT/CSV/EDF, it can be a repetitive and manual process.  So we recently released a BULK EXPORT utility that automates the process to make it much easier.  Now you can select multiple files for export, as shown here.  You can download this utility here.  

​Anyone can install this utility for free and export data, but keep in mind that datafiles recorded using the EVALUATION version of MediCollector will be restricted to only 10 seconds of exported data.

Switch to Subscription Pricing

1/3/2024

0 Comments

 
Happy New Year 2024!

We would like to announce that all of our software applications will now be licensed using yearly subscriptions.  And the cost of these subscriptions is lower than the perpetual licenses we sold last year. 

Upon purchase, we will email you an Activation ID and Password which can instantly unlock the software.  Your subscription will remain active for 1 year and can be easily renewed. 

We are certain this switch will be a positive change for both our customers and our company.  It means the entry price is lower, and it also means we don't need to ship you a license dongle.   

Here are some of the details:   

  • As of Jan 1, 2024 (v1.2) all our software products are licensed by subscription.
  • Subscriptions are valid for 1 year and include technical support.
  • Upon purchase, a License ID and Password will be emailed for instant activation over the Internet.
  • Licenses can also be activated manually (without putting computer on the Internet).
  • Computer does NOT need to be online.  Can function in "air gapped" environments.
  • No more dongles!  In previous years, we would ship licenses on a USB dongle.  This is no longer necessary.  
  • Customers can renew their licenses online.
  • Subscriptions can be managed through our License Portal.   
  • Existing licenses will NOT be affected. If you purchased a perpetual license from us, it will remain valid.
  • Existing dongles will NOT be affected. If you have a dongle, you will continue using it.

Changes to our Licensing System ... Coming Soon!

2/7/2023

MediCollector will no longer sell licenses on donglesGood riddance dongles!
You've made it loud and clear to us over the years: shipping our software licenses on USB dongles is not convenient for many reasons:
  1. You want to instantly activate their software, not wait for a shipment
  2. Shipping abroad is especially slow and subject to import duties
  3. Dongles can get broken or lost
  4. Dongles stick out oddly your laptop
  5. Dongles occupy a valuable USB port

For these and many other reasons, MediCollector is in the process of migrating to a new licensing model with these changes:
​
  1. We will sell subscription licenses instead of perpetual licenses. 
  2. Our prices will change.    
  3. Ability to purchase and instantly activate your software.
  4. Ability to renew your licenses online.
  5. Ability to manage your license(s) through an online portal.   
  6. Existing licenses will NOT be affected. If you purchased a perpetual license from us, it will remain valid.
  7. Existing dongles will NOT be affected. If you have a dongle, you will continue using it.  
  8. Until these changes take effect, all licenses will still be perpetual and shipped on dongles.

Please note:  If you have a dongle, you don't need to do anything. It will continue to function indefinitely.  And our software will continue to recognize dongles indefinitely.  These changes will only apply to new licenses and won't take effect until later this year.  

Stay tuned!

As you may know, when you are recording data with MediCollector BEDSIDE you can add annotations to mark events in your data. For example, you might want to mark when a patient is being given medication or when a procedure is being performed.  This can be done by clicking on the ADD ANNOTATION button and typing the annotation into the window below.

Adding an annotation by typing in the text
But what if you want to add lots of annotations without having to type them out every time?  With the release of MediCollector BEDSIDE v1.1.36, you can now configure a collection of buttons associated with your own custom annotation text.  So you can quickly generate annotations at the click of a button, as seen below.

How do I stay up-to-date with your software releases?

2/25/2022

0 Comments

 
MediCollector is constantly monitoring and testing it's interfaces to our supported medical devices. Sometimes manufacturer's will release a new version of their interface which requires a change to our software.  And other times we find a hidden bug in our code, or add a new device driver or some other useful new functionality.  When this happens, will we release a software update through our website. Our updates are not regularly scheduled. If we discover a critical issue, we'll release an update right away.  If we only make minor improvements, we'll delay the update.  As a customer, its a good idea to know when these updates are released. 

Here's what we recommend:

  1. Sign up for our mailing list and we'll inform you when updates are released. 

  2. Enable "check for updates automatically" under the HELP menu (not available in the CLI version of our product). Our software will then occasionally ping our servers to see if a new version is available for download, and you'll get a pop-up notificaiton letting you know.

  3. Keep an eye on our download page to monitor the latest version available.

  4. On our download page, view the changelist file which contains a list of all the changes made in each version of our software.
