Elevator Pitch: For the active hospital staff, who has too many separate systems, monitors and wires, The One Goal Console, is a medical console that will allows for secure wireless integration from several different medical equipment types into one system that can also securely transfer information into patient’s electronic medical records. Unlike other systems which either have their own separate monitors, or centralized monitors that only display vital signs, The One Goal Console, can accept wireless information from other systems (in addition to just vitals) over an encrypted channel with compatible software and store/display in a safe place that can be accessed across the hospital by authorized users as it is recorded.
