Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Capsule With Global Technology Leadership Award For DataCaptor(TM) Connectivity Suite
February 19, 2008 – 7:37 am | posted in Medical DevicesCapsule, the leading independent medical device connectivity solution used by hundreds of healthcare institutions worldwide, announced it received the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Global Technology Leadership Award.
DataCaptor™ Connectivity Suite features one of the largest device interface libraries in the world with over 370 different types of medical devices, such as patient monitors, ventilators and infusion pumps, supported. It automatically converts the medical device data to HL7 or XML format and integrates it with any Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Clinical Information System (CIS), or Alarm and Event Management system saving valuable nursing time, enhancing clinical workflow automation, and contributing to improved healthcare quality.
“The biggest challenge in the medical device connectivity market today is the widespread use of proprietary technology, challenging vendors to design products that can transfer information between devices and other vendors’ information systems. This is a major cause of concern for hospitals and other health service providers as they are compelled to invest heavily in procuring information gateways for different equipment from different companies,” notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst C.R. Hema Varshika.
“Capsule has identified these industry challenges and devised intelligent data connectivity solutions that cater to such needs - seamlessly bridging the information gap between medical devices and clinical information systems.”
The DataCaptor™ Connectivity Suite provides a full suite of integration tools, optional modules and supported hardware and has the largest devices library in the world, making it the preferred tool in the marketplace for medical device data integration. Hundreds of healthcare institutions and hospitals as well as the leading EMR vendors have partnered with Capsule because it offers the best way to convert data collected from any bedside device into any EMR or CIS.
“We are extremely honored to receive this award from Frost & Sullivan for the second consecutive year,” says Arnaud Houette, President and CEO of Capsule. “Our DataCaptor Connectivity Suite has gained significant momentum this last year as more and more healthcare organizations and hospitals recognize the need to streamline the flow of patient data between a multitude of devices and information systems. The result for these organizations is more accurate patient information and more time spent on patient care, two priorities in our industry. It is exciting to gain further recognition in the industry for the valuable benefits DataCaptor is providing.”
