MediCollector
Device MiddlewareHTMwire assessment
MediCollector provides software for real-time acquisition, recording, and streaming of medical device data, captured directly from bedside devices such as Philips, GE, and Dräger monitors. It captures both waveform and numeric vital-signs data and translates vendor-specific protocols into standardized HL7 messages for HIS, EMR, and integration engines. Classified as a Medical Device Data System (MDDS), it acquires and transports data without altering it. MediCollector was founded in 2017 in Boston out of the Wyss Institute at Harvard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does MediCollector do?
MediCollector is software that acquires, records, and streams real-time waveform and numeric data from bedside medical devices and forwards it to research, analytics, or hospital systems.
What does MediCollector integrate with?
It communicates directly with monitors from Philips, GE, and Dräger, and translates their proprietary protocols into standardized HL7 messages for HIS, EMR, EHR, and integration engines.
Is MediCollector an FDA medical device?
MediCollector is classified as a Medical Device Data System (MDDS): it acquires and transports data without altering it or interfering with device operation, which carries a lighter regulatory burden than a full medical device.
Does MediCollector use AI?
No. As an MDDS, MediCollector focuses on data acquisition and transport; it feeds data into external analytics or research environments rather than running its own machine-learning models.
