Medical Device Data Integration
Every device speaks a different language. The chart hears one.
zMed MDDI integrates 200+ devices and models across different manufacturers — monitors, ventilators, anaesthesia workstations, pumps, dialysis and more — streaming vitals and native-rate waveforms into one live record.

How it works
From bedside signal to one live chart.
Fetching data from a single device is one thing. Retrieving and managing real-time data from thousands of devices, simultaneously, is an entirely different engineering problem — and it's the one MDDI was built to solve.
- Connect
- Devices join over the clinical network — LAN or WiFi — and legacy serial-only equipment joins through zMed's IoT adapters (serial-to-WiFi, serial-to-network). Every physical interface converges onto one clinical network.
- Drive
- A per-protocol device driver speaks each manufacturer's native interface — proprietary or HL7-based. One driver covers every device of that manufacturer's protocol in the deployment, so a hundred monitors need one driver, not a hundred integrations.
- Parse & associate
- Device data carries no patient identifier — by design, clinicians can't type names into a monitor. zMed's device registry associates device → bed → patient, and re-routes streams automatically when devices or patients move between units.
- Deliver
- Vitals and waveforms stream into the chart in near real time at very low latency, with store-and-forward buffering through network interruptions — and onward to your HIS/EMR over HL7 and an API for analytics.
A single deployment routinely aggregates hundreds of simultaneous device-and-manufacturer combinations — different physical interfaces, different protocols, one chart. The full pipeline is mapped below.
Supported devices
Coverage across the critical-care bedside.
Waveform traces are supported across the major monitor, ventilator and anaesthesia families.
By device type
By manufacturer
We integrate devices from all leading manufacturers — across patient monitoring, ventilation, anaesthesia, infusion and dialysis — and the portfolio grows with every deployment.
The detailed supported-devices list is shared during evaluation — ask us for it.
Adding new devices
If it has an interface document, it can join the chart.
Interoperability regulation works in the hospital's favour: under the EU's medical-device regulation and US FDA quality-system requirements, manufacturers document their device communication interfaces and must make them available to hospitals and their software integrators — some publicly, some under licence.
zMed obtains protocol documentation directly from manufacturers, through the hospital, or from public sources — and can readily add a new device to the supported portfolio once the manufacturer's interface document is available. One driver then covers every device of that protocol across your deployment.
