Abstract

In order for new and emerging physiologic sensors to play increasingly larger roles in the monitoring and management of ill and injured patients, the information they generate must be standardized in an XML format so that it can be integrated with the developing patient care record. To satisfy this need, we have built a prototype sensor gateway that communicates sensor data via HL7v3 messaging using SOAP transport and XML encoded data. We have connected the sensor gateway to a working sensor network called CodeBlue
