About

mCare Go

Features
Read full description

mCare Go extends your hospital's mCare fetal monitoring system to mobile. For clinical staff working in obstetric wards, labour rooms and antenatal units, mCare Go provides live and retrospective access to cardiotocograph (CTG) traces from monitored beds across the ward without walking to each bedside to check. WHAT IT DOES - Live trace view: see fetal heart rate and uterine activity as they are recorded, streamed from bedside monitors connected to your hospital's mCare system. - Ward overview: all monitored beds on one screen, so you can see at a glance which traces need attention. - Retrospective review: scroll back through a recording to review earlier segments of a trace. - Notifications: configurable alerts based on your unit's settings, so staff are made aware of events without continuous manual observation. WHO IT IS FOR mCare Go is a companion application for hospitals that have deployed the mCare system. It is intended for use by authorised clinical staff only. Access requires credentials issued by your hospital - the app cannot be used without an existing mCare installation and an account provided by your institution. It is not available for personal or patient use. IMPORTANT mCare Go is a viewing and notification tool. It supports clinical workflow by making existing monitoring data more accessible; it does not interpret traces, does not produce a diagnosis, and does not replace clinical assessment or the bedside monitor. All clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the attending clinician. Data displayed originates from your hospital's own mCare deployment and remains within your institution's infrastructure. ABOUT mCare is developed by NexoPrima Sdn. Bhd. and is deployed across public hospitals in Malaysia. For deployment enquiries, contact NexoPrima.
