Thank you for this valuable insight.

Do you think relying on something like a hospital-provided tablet would have worked? Was this considered?

I mean, having that many screens may be a bit redundant, if you can have a single high-quality one. That said, I understand it introduces some complexity due to wireless protocols, paring with the right ventilator, etc.



You're welcome.

In our initial requirement list, it was designed to be used in temporary hospitals (any public hall for example).

Screen convergence is not for now in hospitals. Behind one sensor, there is one company that sells its monitor with the sensor. Some old well known sensors now converge to one monitor (philips, edwards life science...), but there is a still one screen for every other functions.

Gathering data (when the constructor made it available) is a mess... look at HL7 specs! To build a medical datalogger, you sometimes must interface to an analog output (it is part of my job).

By the way, most monitors runs windows CE behind. Which is also a problem now: https://www.integrasources.com/blog/windows-ce-end-of-life-m...
