Dräger unveils remote-access solution for monitoring cardiopulmonary
status
1 September 2005
Luebeck, Germany. Dräger Medical has developed a new system that enables
physicians to remotely access their patients' cardiopulmonary status in near
real time by using an integrated remote access solution. The company
unveiled the concept at the 9th World Congress of the World Federation of
Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine in Buenos Aires at the end
of August, 2005.
Components of the new remote access system include the Infinity Gateway
Suite, which provides the tools to export vital signs and ventilation data
from Infinity patient monitors and Evita series ventilators to other
systems; Infinity Pocket WinView, a PDA application that enables physicians
to see patient information on a hand-held device; Infinity WebViewer, a
browser application that enables near real-time remote viewing of vital
signs and ventilation data on any networked PC; and Infinity ChartAssist, a
Web-based electronic information system for the intensive care unit. To
protect data security, remote access is provided in accordance with the
existing data security guidelines of the hospital.
Remote access can help hospitals increase the quality of care by enabling
clinicians to serve their patients better by having access to information
faster. High acuity patients may deteriorate rapidly, and time is often of
the essence. It allows consulting physicians to obtain patient information
regardless of where they are. Dräger Medical's solution gives caregivers
access to their patients' cardiopulmonary status wherever and whenever they
want, within the limits of the hospital intranet.
