Welch Allyn's New Vital Signs Monitor

 Welch Allyn, in an attempt to improve patient monitoring and record keeping, has unveiled the Connex Electronic Vitals Documentation System. The system revolves around the Connex Vital Signs Monitor 6000 designed in collaboration with frog design, a San Francisco-based product development firm. The Connex system automatically records data coming from various patient monitors and sends it to the Electronic Medical Record for long term storage. Additionally, it displays relevant information and can raise an alarm if trigger parameters are met. To give you a taste of how this system came to be, frog design has an overview on the company's blog outlining the design process.
