The Japanese-based enterprise also unveiled at the Las Vegas event its NK-HiQ Wireless Patient Monitoring System and aireeg WEE-1200 wireless electroencephalogram (EEG) system.
Utilizing a suite of fully central station, bedside, transport and wearable patient monitors, NI-HiQ leverages Wi-Fi technology to continually monitor patients in hospital settings with its central station running on Microsoft's Windows 10 secure operating system.

Monitors capture and manage patient data from admission to discharge with wearable devices using a proprietary algorithm to detect falls and wandering.
The solution also supports diverse Wi-Fi requirements such as bandwidth-preserving deployment on a shared SSID; has a data backfill function and intelligent local monitoring mode switch to protect patients and data when Wi-Fi is down; adheres to 802.1X and WPA2 Enterprise with AES encryption and EAP authentication; and requires authorized access to the Nihon Kohden network as another form of data protection.
The aireeg WEE-1200 wireless EEG system offers patient comfort and simple access to real-time patient information during long-term monitoring for epilepsy, intensive care and routine EEG practices.
Using Wi-Fi technology to provide patients with greater mobility, the platform provides clinicians with quality data to quickly identify medical issues, as well as the ability to montage, filter and annotate information to speed up care delivery and improve workflow efficiencies.

Like NK-HiQ, it is equipped with back-fill capabilities for when Wi-Fi is disconnected. It also uses proprietary Smart Camera switching technology to auto-detect patient location, and switches cameras when a patient is transported between rooms.
“These smart, secure systems allow hospitals to leverage their existing Wi-Fi infrastructure investment to provide continuous patient monitoring in a safe way,” Thompson said.
The Dimensions AR app was recently awarded the 2018 Platinum award for mobile app at the AVA Digital Awards, and is now available for sale.
The NK-HiQ Wireless Patient Monitoring System is also commercialized now, while sales for aireeg are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2018.
