DeviceConX and VitalsConX
Seven years at iSirona, then NantHealth, then Masimo. Engineer to product lead on the platform that connected 500+ medical devices to hospital EHRs, and a 0-to-1 product for clinical rounding.
I started at iSirona as a software engineer and left Masimo seven years and two acquisitions later as the technical product manager for two product lines. Same company the whole time. The letterhead changed in 2014 (NantHealth) and 2020 (Masimo).
The core product was DeviceConX, middleware that took data off bedside devices (ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps) and delivered it into the hospital’s EHR as clean, attributed, timely observations. Over 500 distinct physical devices, each with its own protocol and quirks, connected through hardware we sold: an escort cable that plugged into a device (later renamed the Shuttle) and the Hbox that aggregated a room or a unit (later the Sentry). I led the primary product development team, ran as many as three scrum teams of five to seven engineers, wrote code, and managed the DevOps infrastructure. The product was FDA-regulated the whole time, so every change carried verification, traceability, and post-market surveillance with it.
VitalsConX was the 0-to-1 product. Clinical rounding, a nurse walking bed to bed taking vitals, was still clipboard-and-transcribe in hospitals that had already automated the ICU. I was the lead engineer, the designer, and the product manager for a product that captured vitals at the bedside and pushed them straight into the chart, which removed the transcription step and the errors that come with it.
