Recently, a group of researchers from Rice University developed a novel neonatal temperature monitoring system for use in low-resource settings.  To test and validate their new system, they brought it to a hospital in Malawi, working in collaboration with the University of Malawi, and used MediCollector BEDSIDE to compare data from their device to a standard Philips patient monitor.  Learn more about this interesting work in their publication in BMJ Pediatrics Open.

MediCollector and Boston Children Hospital Receive Funding from NIH to Develop Next-Generation Hospital Information System

10/27/2020

PictureNIH SBIR STTR Seed Funding for MediCollector
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant to MediCollector and Dr. Benjamin Matthews, Division of Medical Critical Care, Department of Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, in order to develop a ground-breaking new hospital information system.

A typical hospital bedside is cluttered with medical devices which continuously generate huge amounts of data. However, most of that data is never recorded or transmitted. This lack of integration leads to roadblocks for medical researchers and can lead to clinical workflow inefficiencies, often requiring nurses to manually enter data into electronics medical records systems. With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) in healthcare, there is also a growing need to access this trove of medical data.  

MediCollector will be collaborating with Dr Benjamin Matthews of Boston Children’s Hospital to develop and test a ground-breaking new Medical Device Data System (MDDS) which will capture and record this trove of data and make it easily accessible through a simplified interface. The new system will utilize the latest HL7 FHIR protocol which is rapidly becoming the globally accepted standard for transmitting data in healthcare. This will allow external systems, such as smartphone apps and AI algorithms, to easily access live data from patients in the hospital.

“With this funding from NIBIB, MediCollector will be able to expand upon its previous work in medical device integration. The new system will allow data to be acquired from numerous medical devices simultaneously and make the data easily accessible to external systems.” states John Osborne, founder of MediCollector. “Previously, researchers and AI developers struggled to get access to live data from the hospital bedside. Our new system will utilize the HL7 FHIR standard to make it easy to capture and stream this data.”

For more information, please see the NIH’s public project summary page:

MediCollector is a middleware for MDI patient monitor EMR integration HL7 (Health Level 7)
Do you need to get data from a patient monitor into your EMR? This is part of a challenge known as Medical Device Integration (MDI) in hospitals. 

Using HL7, MediCollector can now be your MDI solution by functioning as a "middleware" to transfer data from medical devices into hospital information systems (HIS) such as electronic medical records systems (EMR / EHR).
​
Wow, that's a lot of buzzwords!  If you're looking to get data from your patient monitors into your EMR, MediCollector can now do this using HL7.

If you need help with MDI, please see our MDI solutions, or contact us.

MediCollector products for gathering and streaming and recording data from medical devices
MediCollector is pleased to announce the arrival of 2 new products aimed at customers who want to add medical device data integration into their own systems.  Using these products, you can seamlessly and invisibly embed streaming data-acquisition into your own products.

These products are available for download today!

For more information, please see below.

MediCollector SERVICE:  For seamless & continuous streaming

MediCollector SERVICE

View Details
This product is designed for customers who want to continuously stream and/or record medical device data in the background.  By using MediCollector SERVICE, you don't need to worry about the complex communication protocols and cabling requirements for each individual device.  Simply embed MediCollector into your system, and let it run invisibly in the background.  It runs as a Windows Service, so it will launch when the computer starts up, run continuously, and automatically recover from errors for uninterrupted data streaming.

MediCollector CLI:  An API for polling medical device data

MediCollector CLI

View Details
This command line interface is designed for software developers who want to quickly and easily query/poll a medical device for live data.  Data is immediately outputted to a simple text file.  It can be scripted or automated to run frequently (every 10 minutes?) to create a simple database of live data over time.
