Systems and methods for capturing data from a medical device

Abstract:

A method for transferring data from a medical device to a server comprises receiving a video stream from the medical device, capturing an image from the video stream, transmitting the image to the server via a data network, and extracting the data from the image. The image may illustrate and/or represent data over a period of time. The method may also comprise transmitting, from a data module receiving the video stream from the medical device, a signal to a router that indicates that the data module is connected to the network. The method may also comprise transmitting a command to the data module to start capturing the image, transferring the image to the router, broadcasting a signal indicating that the data module has captured the image, receiving the broadcasted signal at the server, and storing the image at the server.
