Who Can Help a California Medtech Company Send Device Data Into Clinical Workflows?

This guide helps California medtech teams compare partners that connect medical devices, patient applications, and clinical systems so healthcare professionals can use device data in their daily work.

Your device captures the reading. The companion app displays it. But what happens when a clinician needs to see that information alongside the patient’s chart?

For a medtech company, the last part of the journey can be the hardest to plan. The reading may need to move through a phone, gateway, or cloud platform before it reaches a hospital’s systems. Along the way, someone must associate it with the right patient, check its units and timestamp, and decide whether it belongs in the chart, a review queue, or a separate dashboard.

California teams looking for help have several options. Folio3 Digital Health, TATEEDA, Taction Software, and OSP Labs provide custom development and integration services. BrightInsight offers a connected health platform, while Masimo provides device connectivity products for hospital environments. The right choice depends on where your product is today and where the care team needs the data to appear.

First, follow one reading

Imagine a patient uses a connected blood pressure monitor at home. The measurement reaches the device company’s app, but the care team wants to review it in its existing system. Before discussing vendors, it helps to trace what must happen to that single reading.

Moment in the journey	Decision to make	What can go wrong
The device captures a reading	Which value, units, timestamp, device identifier, and quality indicators are available?	A reading arrives without enough context to interpret it.
The app or gateway sends it	Does the device connect through Bluetooth, a cellular network, a local gateway, or a device cloud?	Connectivity drops and readings arrive late or more than once.
The platform associates it	How is the reading linked to the correct patient and, where needed, encounter?	A device is reassigned, but the old association remains.
The clinical system receives it	Should the information appear as an individual observation, a reviewed summary, or a task?	The interface accepts data that staff cannot find or use.
Someone reviews it	Which clinician or care coordinator sees it, and what is the expected response?	An alert reaches an inbox without a clear owner.

That final decision shapes the project. A home monitoring company may need a care coordinator to review a daily summary. A diagnostic device manufacturer may need a result associated with a specific encounter. A hospital equipment provider may need bedside measurements available for documentation. Those are different integrations, even if all three involve an EHR.

Folio3 Digital Health

Best fit: A connected-device product that needs coordinated work across hardware connectivity, applications, and clinical systems. Consider: Ask for the EHR interface and the device-side work to be estimated separately if you already have a functioning device platform.

Folio3 Digital Health works across several layers of connected medical products. Its IoMT services cover device connectivity, firmware and cloud components, wearable data processing, and integration with clinical systems. That breadth makes it relevant when the product team needs help beyond the final EHR interface, such as managing data from a device through a mobile app and into a cloud platform.

Folio3 also works with healthcare interoperability standards and EHR environments including Epic, Oracle Health/Cerner, athenahealth, and Allscripts. A useful discussion is where the company’s work would begin: at the device, at an existing cloud API, or at the point where an established product hands data to a healthcare organization.

TATEEDA

Best fit: A medtech team that wants to prove one device-to-clinical workflow and then extend it. Consider: Confirm the device API, the provider’s available interface, and whether the desired EHR destination supports write-back before estimating the build.

TATEEDA works with healthcare and medtech teams that need software around an existing product or clinical workflow. From its San Diego base, the company provides custom development and integration support for EHR systems, patient applications, medical data platforms, and AI-enabled workflows. Its EHR and EMR development services cover Epic, Oracle Health/Cerner, athenahealth, and Allscripts/Veradigm.

For a device company, the conversation can begin with a narrow path: receive an authorized reading, associate it with a patient, and make the information available to the appropriate care team. TATEEDA’s work with FHIR, HL7 v2, APIs, and clinical applications can support that kind of integration, subject to the device and provider environment. Its engineers also work on the surrounding application when the care team needs a dashboard or staff workflow alongside the EHR connection.

Taction Software

Best fit: A team managing multiple device feeds or a more involved interface environment. Consider: Agree on whether the initial project covers data delivery, clinical alerting, or both; they may carry different design and regulatory responsibilities.

Taction Software offers device integration hub development as well as remote patient monitoring software. Its work covers the movement of measurements from devices into clinical systems, with attention to association, validation, interface delivery, and monitoring. This is a useful angle for a product that must handle several device types or work with existing hospital interfaces.

For remote monitoring, Taction describes support for devices from iHealth, Omron, Withings, Biobeat, and BioIntelliSense. Its EHR integration work includes Epic, Oracle Health, Allscripts, and athenahealth. Treat the device and EHR lists as starting points for discussion: your particular models, endpoints, and provider workflow still need to be confirmed.

OSP Labs

Best fit: A device company developing the application and clinical connection together. Consider: If your application is already working, ask for a proposal focused on the remaining interface and deployment work.

OSP Labs develops medical device software, connected applications, and healthcare integrations. It can be worth considering when the device company needs a companion application or clinician-facing product as well as a way to bring data into an EHR. Its medical device offering includes device data capture, cloud connectivity, dashboards, QA, and EHR integration readiness.

OSP also offers integration work for healthcare systems, including Oracle Health/Cerner. For a medtech team, the useful distinction is between building the product experience and preparing it to exchange information with a particular provider. Both can belong in the same program, but each needs its own acceptance criteria.

BrightInsight

Best fit: A medtech or biopharma team that wants to evaluate a platform for connected products and clinical integration. Consider: Review platform ownership, configuration, provider onboarding, and ongoing fees alongside the implementation scope.

BrightInsight offers a connected health platform for medtech and biopharma products. Its platform supports connected devices and patient applications, while its interoperability work addresses exchange with clinical systems. For a company evaluating an established platform, this can be a different starting point from commissioning each component as custom software.

BrightInsight’s EHR integration work includes environments such as Epic, Oracle Health/Cerner, MEDITECH, Allscripts, and athenahealth through its interoperability network. The company also describes Bluetooth and NFC capabilities for supported device integrations. Ask how the platform would fit your product’s existing device software, data model, and relationships with healthcare providers.

Masimo

Best fit: A hospital-facing product that needs to connect with bedside device infrastructure. Consider: Masimo is a device and platform provider, so confirm the implementation and product-development services your project would require around its technology.

Masimo offers medical device integration products for hospital environments. Its Iris Gateway connects bedside device data with clinical documentation systems and converts device-specific communication into HL7. Its broader Hospital Automation offering also includes the iSirona connectivity hub for bedside devices.

This is a distinct option for a medtech company working with hospitals that already use, or are considering, connectivity infrastructure. The first question is whether the specific device and hospital setup can use that infrastructure. The answer will depend on device interfaces, the receiving system, and how the hospital wants clinicians to associate and review data.

Build, use a platform, or combine both?

The decision is rarely a choice between building everything and buying everything. A medtech company may use an existing connectivity platform for device transport while developing its own application, clinical workflow, or integration layer around it.

Custom development	Your device, data model, or provider workflow needs a specific connection	You gain control over the implementation and take on more responsibility for maintaining it.
Existing platform	A platform supports the device types, destinations, and deployment model you need	Check compatibility, data access, provider onboarding, licensing, and ongoing fees.
Combination	An existing product handles part of the connection, while your workflow needs custom work	Define who owns each interface, monitors failures, and coordinates changes across vendors.

For example, an established gateway might capture a bedside device’s output, while a custom application helps a clinician review the measurement before it is filed. For a home monitoring product, the existing device cloud might provide the data, with a custom service preparing it for a care team’s review queue.

Decide what belongs in the clinical record

More data is not always more useful to a clinician. A device may produce frequent measurements or continuous signals, while the care team needs a smaller set of reviewed observations, a trend, or a report linked to the underlying data.

Work through these questions with your clinical and product teams:

• What is the intended action? Decide whether the reading supports documentation, routine review, follow-up, or another agreed task.
• What is the right level of detail? Separate raw device data from the measurements or summaries the care team needs in its workflow.
• Who checks the information? Define whether data is filed automatically or reviewed before it enters the record.
• How current must it be? A scheduled report and a time-sensitive notification have different delivery requirements.
• What happens when the connection fails? Specify retries, duplicate prevention, monitoring, and who resolves a mismatch.

FHIR can provide a structure for a measurement, but support for a particular write operation and clinical display depends on the receiving EHR and provider environment. Test the proposed destination with the health system rather than assuming that a successful API connection makes the data visible to staff.

For a deeper discussion of wearable devices, EHR data, and clinician-facing analytics, see our guide to integrating wearable data into EHR workflows.

Questions to settle before a device integration pilot

A useful first phase can be small: one device type, one agreed measurement or report, one receiving clinical workflow, and a defined group of users. Before work starts, ask each partner to address the same practical questions.

Ask about	A useful answer should cover
Device access	The available protocol, API or gateway, device identifiers, and who controls access
Patient matching	How a device is assigned, reassigned, and matched to a patient or encounter
Data quality	Units, timestamps, duplicates, missing readings, and invalid or late data
Clinical delivery	Where the reading appears, who can see it, and whether staff review it before filing
Privacy and security	Data access, encryption, audit trails, patient permissions, and business associate agreements where applicable
Operations	Monitoring, retries, incident ownership, support, and changes to either system
Project cost	Development, device or EHR vendor access, platform licenses, testing, deployment, and ongoing support

The intended function also matters for regulatory planning. The FDA distinguishes certain software functions that only transfer, store, convert, or display device data from other functions that may require a different assessment. If the project adds clinical interpretation or alerting, involve the appropriate regulatory and clinical specialists early. The FDA’s medical device data systems guidance is a useful starting point for that discussion.

If you’d like to discuss a first device-to-clinical workflow with TATEEDA, bring the device type, available interface, target clinical system, and the action you want a care team to take.

Frequently asked questions

Can a medical device send data directly to an EHR?

Sometimes. The route depends on the device, its available interfaces, the EHR, and the healthcare organization’s setup. Data may travel through a companion app, device cloud, gateway, or integration platform before reaching the EHR. Confirm the supported path and destination with both the device and provider teams.

How do you associate device data with the right patient?

The integration needs an agreed method for linking a device and its readings to a patient, and sometimes to an encounter. It should also handle reassignment and uncertain matches. Test those situations before allowing data to flow into a clinical workflow.

Should every device reading be stored in the EHR?

Not necessarily. The clinical team may need selected observations, a reviewed summary, or a report rather than every raw measurement. Decide what belongs in the record based on the intended use, the care team’s workflow, and the receiving system’s capabilities.

Can a connectivity platform replace custom development?

It can cover part or all of the connection when its supported devices, clinical destinations, and workflow fit the product. Custom work may still be needed for a companion application, data transformation, patient matching, or a particular provider workflow. Compare the whole path before deciding.

Does medical device integration software require FDA review?

It depends on what the software is intended to do. Some functions limited to transferring, storing, converting, or displaying device data fall outside the device definition. Other functions may need a different assessment. Review the intended use with regulatory specialists and consult applicable FDA guidance.
