Capsule (www.capsuletech.com), the leading provider of medical device connectivity, today announced its official release of the Capsule Neuron™. Following Capsule's recent release of their Enterprise Device Connectivity Solution, the flexible, innovative Capsule Neuron platform allows the solution to be deployed across the hospital in both high and low acuity environments.
Pre-released at the HIMSS 2009 conference, the Capsule Neuron is the first intelligent touch-screen platform dedicated to managing device connectivity at the bedside. Features include connectivity status displayed at the bedside with easy viewing via a touch screen interface, immediate alerting at the bedside for quicker troubleshooting, data caching, and flexible deployment options for a wired or wireless environment. And, the Capsule Neuron offers even more; its design is so innovative that it actually adapts to the environment it operates in and completely integrates with existing technologies and caregiver work processes.
The patient based design of the Capsule Neuron allows hospitals to establish connectivity in all areas of the enterprise by selecting their method of data collection -- from continuous data collection for higher acuity environments such as critical care, to periodic and mobile data collection in medical-surgical environments, or a combination of the two. It also allows the hospital to positively associate a device to the patient through either: location, bar code or auto-sensing using passive RFID (coming in 2010).
