Building block

Building block – Datico® Single Device Connector

One device, one interface – connected to your HIS without introducing the whole platform.

Arrange a consultation How the platform works

How the data flows

From the order to the measurement – and the results back

  1. HIS, practice or bookingsends the order
  2. Datico® AgentWindows or Linux, starts the procedure
  3. Your devicemeasures with the right patient data
  4. Results backreport, measurements, curves

No platform needed – the same agent works in the Datico® Life Hub, so you can switch at any time.

The problem

A diagnostic, therapy or training device delivers valuable data, but it stays on the device or the connected computer. Patient data is transferred by hand, reports are filed as PDFs. The interface to the HIS or practice system is missing – and for a single device a complete platform is too big.

The solution

The Datico® Single Device Connector brings the interface right to the device: the Datico® Agent runs on the device’s computer, on Windows or Linux. It receives orders from the HIS, practice management or appointment booking, starts the matching measurement and sends the results back in structured form.

Example

A healthcare provider connects a gait analysis system to its hospital system. The order from the HIS starts the measurement with the right patient data, and the results go straight into the patient record – instead of being filed as a PDF.

How a measurement runs

The HIS, practice management or appointment system sends an order to the Single Device Connector. Depending on the configuration, the Datico® Agent then starts a defined workflow – at Datico® this is called a procedure. Patient data and case number are taken over, nobody types them in again. The device performs the measurement and the agent returns the results to the ordering system: as a report, as structured measurements, as curves – depending on what the device delivers and the target system needs.

Single Device Connector or Device Connector?

Both use the same technology, the Datico® Agent. The Device Connector is part of the Datico® Life Hub: it connects any number of training, therapy and diagnostic devices to one shared database, with progress, dashboards, reports and analyses across all devices. The Single Device Connector is meant for cases where only one device needs to talk to an existing system. The whole platform would be too big – the Single Device Connector connects the device lean and cost-effectively, especially in hospitals.

Interfaces and operating systems

The Datico® Agent speaks the common healthcare standards: HL7 v2, HL7 FHIR, GDT and DICOM. Where a device has a manufacturer-specific interface, we implement that too – as we have already done for many systems. The agent runs on Windows or Linux, directly on the computer at the device. The overview of compatible systems shows which devices are already connected.

Who the Single Device Connector is for

For hospitals, rehabilitation centres, practices and diagnostic centres that want to integrate a single device without a suitable interface into their workflows – such as a gait analysis system, a performance diagnostics station or a therapy device. And for manufacturers who want to make their device HIS-ready with little effort: with the Datico® Device Platform you become compatible once and reach hospitals, practices and the Datico® Life Hub.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Datico® Single Device Connector?

A lean solution for connecting a single diagnostic, therapy or training device to your HIS, practice management or appointment booking – without the complete Datico® Life Hub. The Datico® Agent runs directly on the computer at the device.

How does the connection work?

The source system sends an order, the agent starts the configured procedure with the patient data taken over, the device measures, and the results go back as a report, measurements or curves.

Which standards are supported?

HL7 v2, HL7 FHIR, GDT and DICOM. We also implement manufacturer-specific interfaces.

Which systems does the Datico® Agent run on?

Windows or Linux, directly on the computer that belongs to the device.

What is the difference to the Device Connector?

The technology is the same. The Device Connector is part of the Datico® Life Hub and connects many devices to one shared database. The Single Device Connector connects a single device without the platform. You can move to the platform at any time.

How do I get a quote?

Send us an enquiry with the device, manufacturer and target system. We check the interface and come back with a concrete proposal.

More later?

The Datico® Agent is the same one that works as the Device Connector in the Datico® Life Hub. If your needs grow, you move to the platform without a new interface.
