Medical Device Integration: Essential Infrastructure
I’m pleased to report that our ventilated patient surveillance solution is now supporting front line clinicians treating COVID-19 patients in a number of U.S. hospitals.

The strategies that healthcare providers have previously used to retain nurses are no longer enough to offset the challenges healthcare currently faces in terms of improving nurse retention and driving value-based care.
As both a clinician and a data scientist for a health technology company, it is clear to me that this unfortunate pandemic has made it no longer an option for hospitals to ignore technology that help and protect overwhelmed clinicians manage the strain of the impossible caseloads caused by COVID-19.
Hospitals are grappling with having enough equipment and staff to treat respiratory distress. Capsule has been working with several hospital clients to help monitor ventilated patients remotely with a Ventilated Patient Surveillance Workstation.
Recognizing the intense strain that is being put on hospitals and health systems in this crisis, Capsule is providing software licenses for Ventilated Patient Surveillance free of charge for up to 6 months.
By increasing the use of – and reliance on – medical device information, healthcare providers will gain more insights into patient health to possibly reduce medical errors and reduce the overall cost of care.
