Medical devices—ventilators, infusion pumps, and cardiac monitors—generate a wealth of real-time and historical data that goes far beyond the "snapshot" stored in a patient’s chart. When we move beyond simple documentation, connectivity becomes a tool for clinical transformation. By moving beyond the EMR, we aren't just filing data away—we’re putting it to work to save lives.

Three standards dominate point-of-care medical device interoperability discussions: HL7v2, FHIR, and SDC. Device designers need to decide which way to go to enable rapid deployment in the market and at the same time remain viable as the market evolves. So, many device designers are trying to guess “which one wins”. The better approach might be “which one fits” the clinical and technical reality of my use case. HL7v2 Still Dominates at the Bedside HL7v2 remains the protocol

We brought our PCIM (point of care identity management) software to an Interoperability Showcase at HIMSS25

Imagine being able to connect a new anesthesia machine, ventilator or patient monitor to the EMR of your choice in less than 5 minutes.

Cloud integration enables serverless, easy to install, flexible connection of medical devices in the hospital setting.

Many medical devices still use proprietary RS-232 based protocols. Medical devices that use IHE DEV and ITI profiles offer an alternative.
