Prognosys Medical Systems is a leading provider of high
quality solutions and services in Healthcare. Prognosys
develops solutions of international standard and quality
for hospitals, medical clinics, medical device

the needs of their customers and developing customized
solutions to suit them best.
Prognosys’ products include the “REM –
ICU Monitoring” a complete remote ICU monitoring
solution, allowing intensivists and critical care
specialists to improve patient care significantly by
overcoming geographic barriers. REM - ICU provides the
communication bridge between ICU’s at remote
locations and the professional medical teams located in
specialty care hospitals around the globe.
The REM-ICU transmits the critical vital signs in real
time using any available network communication means
including wireless, broadband, LAN/WAN and other
communication technologies. The REM-ICU can be deployed
over various network types including the web, medical
intranets and others.
Prognosys chose to use the WinDriver USB based driver as
the foundation for controlling the ICUs through the
custom software application provided with the REM –
ICU.
The application includes advanced data presentation
formats, computerized decision support and alarms. These
features enhance efficiency, increase effectiveness, and
standardize the clinical and operating processes.
Prognosys used the WinDriver USB development toolkit at
they needed a quick and reliable solution to interface
standard medical equipment over USB. “We were able
to get the USB Data along with the sample program in
place within thirty Minutes” said Suresh Vedagiri,
Technical Director at Prognosys Medical Systems.
“
We were thrilled that it worked the first time without
any problems and were delighted that we did not take the
DDK approach that would have probably required more time and resources.
Our requirements from the driver were to retrieve the data from the ICU
Monitors or the Multiplexers via the USB, analyze the
data and forward to the central data center.”
The use of Rem-ICU technology allows health care
professionals to remotely monitor the patient’s
vital signs, observe the patient’s monitoring
sensors, set and monitor alert thresholds and initiate
actions proactively. The patient monitoring devices are
connected via the USB bus to a central data station.
Multiplexers allow the connection of multiple ICU
monitors of up to 16 patient beds to a single central
data center. Using this centralized architecture allows
the medical team to control and monitor the system from a
single station.
