Connex Clinical Surveillance is a patient monitoring system that

allows clinicians to proactively monitor health of several

patients' comprehensive respiratory (etCO2, SpO2, RRa, EarlySense

Motion) and vital signs status (NIBP, Temp) simultaneously,

helping clinicians to quickly recognize respiratory distress and

respond earlier to signs of patient deterioration. The patient

health data is measured from continuous monitoring devices or

episodic measurements taken from devices connected to the patient.

Connex Central Station is a WPF based windows application that

interfaces with Welch Allyn devices and tracks near-real-time

device readings and directs staff to respond to abnormal

situations. The continuous and sport patient records can be sent

to the hospital EMR, to provide easy access to timely, accurate

data. Alarms can be annunciated at the bedside on device, the

Central Station, and/or be sent to the clinician's phone or pager,

as hospital workflow dictates.
