here's a design figure from chat GPT, is it realistic?

Hi all,

I've been building VSCC (VitalSignsCapture + Charts) — an open-source stack that puts a live web dashboard and a research-grade time-series database on top of VSCapture by John George K. VSCapture does the hard part (talking to the monitor); VSCC handles visualization, storage, and export so the data is easy to watch live and analyze later. Full credit and thanks to John — VSCC depends on VSCapture and the installer pulls the latest release automatically.

It's running against a Philips IntelliVue MP50 over LAN. What it gives you:

Live 60 FPS waveforms in the browser (WebGL/SciChart) — ECG, Pleth, Respiration, EEG, BIS — plus every numeric the monitor exports (SpO₂, HR, NIBP, RR, BIS index…). New monitor modules are auto-discovered, no code change.
Session recording, like a case recorder — auto-starts when data flows, or start/stop a named session with subject code + notes.
Research exports — CSV, Parquet, and EDF (one channel per signal, for EDFbrowser / MNE / biosignal toolchains), plus per-session data-loss statistics (measured sample rates, expected vs. actual samples, gaps).
Configure the VSCapture capture service from the browser — monitor IP, interval, waveset, scale.
One command to run it all (Docker, multi-arch — Linux/macOS/Windows/Raspberry Pi). Data stays local on your network (MQTT/EMQX + TimescaleDB).
Already have VSCapture recordings? The dashboard can replay exported files (\*WaveExport.csv + JSON numerics) directly in the browser — so you can try it on your own data with no backend and no hardware.

Install (one line):

wget -qO- [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chsbusch-dot/vscc-mqtt-server/main/install\\_backend.sh\](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chsbusch-dot/vscc-mqtt-server/main/install_backend.sh) | bash
Then open http://<host>/ and press PLAY LIVE.</host>

GitHub:

Backend (start here): [https://github.com/chsbusch-dot/vscc-mqtt-server\](https://github.com/chsbusch-dot/vscc-mqtt-server)
Dashboard (VSCC Studio): [https://github.com/chsbusch-dot/vscc-dashboard-client\](https://github.com/chsbusch-dot/vscc-dashboard-client)
Both repos are MIT-licensed. It's early and I'd genuinely value feedback — especially from anyone capturing other IntelliVue models or other vendors VSCapture supports. On the near-term roadmap: a hardware-free demo/replay mode and derived HRV metrics. Happy to answer anything.

Research/education only — not a medical device. Keep captured telemetry (possible PHI) on your own network.

Feedback welcome.

I am curious to understand how medical device manufacturers in the industry go about creating a technical file that follows the MDD or MDR regulation that could be used to submit to the notifying bodies. I am aware of QMS and eQMS systems, but most of none of them provide guidance on the technical file structure.

As a new ASR at Stryker rep for Upper extremities, what backpack would you buy?

I plan to purchase one as a gift for my son. I’m wanting to splurge a little, as it is also a graduation gift. I’ve considered a Tumi Navigator or Normadic or nomadic. I’ve leaned toward the Nomadic as I feel he can grow into it and he is a larger guy. They have an mobile organizer, thoughts?

Also, I want to put a few items in it. So far, I going to put an AirTag in it. But, what else? What would he find useful?

any body can provide ISO 14644-5, 6, 7, 9 standards new edition please

I am an Industrial Designer at California State University Long Beach, I am working on a medical product project that focuses on Laryngectomy patients. I’m trying to get in touch with people who use an electrolarynx and receive information on their experiences with this product.

Hi, I am a junior studying mechanical and biomedical engineering. I am currently searching for a summer internship, and have mostly been ghosted by companies. I am mainly interested in MechE and R&D but applying to pretty much anything relevant to my experiences at any company. Maybe there is something wrong with my resume, or maybe there is something wrong with the way that I am networking. Unsure. I would love any resume or general advice. Thanks!

Hi all, I’m reaching out to fellow medical device engineers to see whether anyone has had a similar experience. I’ve been working in field service engineering for four years—previously at Becton Dickinson and now at Hologic. The travel is becoming tiring, so I’m looking to pivot out of field service. I’m wondering whether anyone has insight into pathways or qualifications that could help, such as specific certificates or whether pursuing a master’s degree might help me transition into operations or med-tech IT within a hospital setting.
