GE, AirStrip align on patient monitoring

GE Healthcare and AirStrip Technologies have launched AirStrip Patient Monitoring, which delivers patient monitoring information to critical-care physicians’ iPhones and iPads.

AirStrip allows physicians to interact with, manipulate and zoom in on more than 100 clinical measurements and access physiologic data and monitor waveforms remotely, according to the companies. The technology adds to GE and AirStrip’s initial joint offering, AirStrip Cardiology, which provides cardiologists with digitally enhanced and comparative cardiac ECG data that can be accessed on iPads and iPhones.

AirStrip Patient Monitoring links with GE Healthcare’s portfolio of patient monitoring platforms, such as the Carescape Monitor B850, CarescapeMonitor B650, Solar and Dash monitors, to give physicians access to patient waveforms, vital signs and other clinical measurements on interactive iPad and iPhone displays. This connectivity is powered via Carescape Gateway, which interfaces biomedical devices with hospital information systems.

In 2010, AirStrip received FDA clearance of the platform behind AirStrip Patient Monitoring, and obtained the CE Mark in January. 

U.S. hospitals can now purchase AirStrip Patient Monitoring through GE Healthcare.
