Two leading medical software firms have agreed to develop and supply bedside-healthcare integration products for handheld patient-data devices. HEI Inc. (Victoria, MN) and Cerner Corp. (Kansas City, MO) are collaborating on integration products for the latter's CareGuard, a device that combines clinical documentation, error prevention, and bedside-device integration. CareGuard will use HEI's Link-iT technology to enhance real-time data collection in various Cerner Millennium products.

According to HEI, Link-iT enables OEMs and vendors to quickly add both wired and wireless connectivity and distributed-software applications to their products.
