PhysioCloud Kafka Integrations: KafkaOpenTSDB, CarescapeKafka, KafkaADT

Unmet Need
Every day medical institutions are deluged by a veritable tsunami of patient data. Everything from treatment history, to allergies, to real-time physiological/telemetry data can be relevant to helping caregivers the information they need to make the best possible treatment decisions for their patients and organizing that data into a coherent picture is becoming more difficult than ever. In order to deploy best practices such as holistic care and machine learning, there is a tremendous need to be able to store and organize patient data into a coherent, easily interpreted database. This is especially true for physiological data with its low latency and high volume.

Technology Overview
This technology utilizes the Kafka processing platform to take minute-to-minute data from the GE Carescape platform and organize it into time series data that can be combined with other data for analysis. It represents a significant improvement over existing paradigms for the storage and organization of physiological data both in terms of its speed and flexibility. It is a powerful foundation for any analytical platform focused on patient data.

Stage of Development
This technology has been developed to a proof-of-concept stage.
