The signature AirStrip Technologies application, AirStrip OB is now in use at hundreds of U.S. hospitals. It delivers vital patient waveform data — including fetal heartbeat and maternal contraction patterns — in virtual real-time directly from the labor and delivery unit to a medical professional's mobile wireless device. Physicians can now closely monitor patients 24/7 when the demands of their day necessitate their periodic absence from L&D. Additional patient information such as nursing notes, vital signs and order results is also accessible. iPhone users can download a free demo version of AirStrip OB can be downloaded for free from the Apple® App Store.

Base AirStrip OB Features

• Virtual Views — Waveform data is displayed, including virtual real-time and historical views of fetal heart tracings and maternal contraction patterns with annotations.
• HIPAA Compliant Authentication Login —The user is required to first enter the correct user ID and password to access the hospital network. If the information is incorrect, access will be denied. VPN support and tokenless, 2-3 factor authentication are also supported.
• Hospital Labor and Delivery Census —The names of patients being monitored in labor and delivery are displayed, as well as their doctor and hospital bed. The census is listed by hospital, allowing the user to choose from multiple hospitals. Once the hospital is selected, the list of current patients is displayed, allowing the user to select a specific patient for more detailed information.
• Strip Charting —AirStrip OB displays the fetal strip and maternal contraction pattern information for an individual patient. This is the primary screen used to review patient information, which also displays the hospital name, room number, date and time.
• Patient Data Display —Patient data can be displayed over the top of the patient's strip chart or as a separate patient data screen. The patient's name, age, fetal gestation, patient gravity, patient parity, last cervical exam information, current nurse and physician are all viewable.
• Strip Zooming and Scrolling —The user can zoom the chart image and scroll forward or backward through the strip chart data. This function does not affect the ability of the real-time data to be downloaded onto the handheld device. Landscape view is also supported.
