In the last decade tremendous progress has been made toward integrating the various information systems found in most large hospitals. Unfortunately, the patient remains an information island. Patient data from bedside instruments is still captured and entered manually - a tedious, time consuming and error prone process.

The MedICAN technology solves this problem. The technology gathers critical data from bedside medical instruments and, for the first time, makes this data available to the hospital’s various information systems, databases, etc. With the technology in place, physicians can view their patient’s bedside instrumentation data anytime, anywhere – in the hospital, in the office, at home, halfway around the world, even on handheld portable devices.

The MedICAN technology successfully integrates biomedical engineering with information technology to eliminate the patient information island.
