Why Clinical Device Connectors?

Clinical Device Connectors bridge medical devices and professional peripherals with Mediloop using local, network and vendor-specific interfaces while preserving safety, provenance and workflow context.

Capture measurements, observations and waveforms from bedside or outpatient devices.
Support professional peripherals such as dictation microphones, barcode scanners and card readers.
Route raw device outputs through validation, unit normalization and FHIR mapping.
Keep device identity, timestamps and source provenance explicit for traceability.
Use Workstation Agent when browser-only access is insufficient for local hardware.
Design principle
A connector should expose the device safely, not hide the device’s clinical and operational constraints.

Dictation & speech peripherals

Microphones, headsets, foot pedals and speech-recognition bridges. Transcripts, commands and workflow events.

Identification peripherals

Barcode scanners, label printers, smart-card readers and wristband scanners. Patient/medication identification and workflow actions.

Point-of-care & diagnostics

POC analyzers, glucometers, spirometers and specialty devices. Diagnostic results and derived observations.

Therapy & procedural devices

Infusion pumps, ventilators and intervention devices where supported. Commands, statuses and safety-scoped telemetry.

Typical device data flow
1
Capture
Device emits data or event
2
Validate
Schema, ranges, identity and permissions
3
Normalize
Units, codes and timestamps
4
Map
FHIR Observation / Device / DiagnosticReport
5
Route
Store, trigger workflows and share
6
Audit
Provenance, logs and monitoring
What teams usually need
Device inventory and supported model list
A decision on local Agent vs network/cloud integration
Clinical and operational field mapping
Pairing, certificate and permission model
Test plan with real devices and failure scenarios
Go-live monitoring and support procedures
Important
Some devices only support read-only capture, while others allow safe command/control. Document that boundary explicitly.
