Capsule rides medical device connectivity wave (podcast)

[audio http://healthbb.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/capsuletech3.mp3]
Capsule is a leader in medical device connectivity (MDC) --the integration of medical devices with information systems. Hospitalized patients are often hooked to several devices, each of which is generating a large volume of data. At the same time hospitals are increasing adoption of electronic medical record systems and striving to better incorporate --and eventually analyze and act on-- clinical data of all kinds.In this podcast interview, Capsule's president of North America Stuart Long and I discuss the market for medical device connectivity, how it's changing with the advent of meaningful use, data security challenges and differences among US and international markets.
