DDS securely shares patient and device data to build smarter clinical information systems. It connects devices in hospital rooms, integrates whole-hospital systems, and connects to the cloud and mobile technologies. The proliferation of smart medical devices creates new integration challenges for networks of devices. DDS provides a proven solution for the secure transfer of real-time data between medical devices and other information systems in a clinical environment.
The Medical Device “Plug-and Play” (MD PnP) Interoperability Program is using DDS in the reference implementation for their Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) to enable the integration of devices and the sharing of real-time patient data between devices and other clinical information systems.
