Auto-discovered waveforms
ECG, plethysmograph, respiration, and any other waveform module exported by the monitor.
VSCC / VitalSignsCapture + Charts
Patient-monitor data.
Live and recorded.
VSCC turns live data from a Philips IntelliVue MP50 into synchronized browser waveforms, numeric vitals, research sessions, and time-series stored in TimescaleDB.

01 / VSCC
From patient monitor to research-ready charts.
An open-source client–server system for capturing, recording, replaying, exporting, and visualizing monitor data.
A monitor on the LAN becomes a live and replayable research data source—with synchronized charts in the browser and a durable record behind them.
VSCapture reads the monitor feed. A Python worker publishes every signal to MQTT and batch-inserts it into TimescaleDB. WebSocket and REST services deliver the data to VSCC Studio.

Every numeric
SpO₂, pulse, heart rate, NIBP, respiration rate, and the other numeric values the monitor sends.
Research sessions
Automatic recordings with labels, subject codes, notes, and a browser-based session library.
Timestamped annotations
Mark interventions and events while capture runs, then see them in the recorded timeline.
Quality + export
Track expected versus actual samples and gaps; export CSV, Parquet, EDF, or a de-identified package.
Local browser visualization
WebGL charts render at 60 FPS with synchronized zoom and pan across live and replayed signals.
02 / Interface
VSCC Studio keeps every signal in sync.
React 19, TypeScript, and SciChart.js render live patient-monitor waveforms and vitals at 60 FPS, with synchronized zoom and pan.
03 / Research workflow
Record the case. Mark the moment. Export the evidence.
VSCC treats acquisition as a research record, not just a live screen.
Sessions + annotations
Automatic sessions create a navigable record around every capture.
- Labels, subject codes, and notes
- Timestamped event annotations
- Browser replay, download, and deletion
- Live MQTT, URL polling, or drag-in file replay
Quality + portable data
Capture quality stays visible, and the data leaves in formats research tools understand.
- Expected-versus-actual sample counts
- Per-waveform gaps and data-loss statistics
- CSV, Parquet, and EDF exports
- De-identified, share-safe package
04 / Compatibility
Product support matrix.
VSCapture supports many device interfaces. VSCC has been validated end to end only with the Philips IntelliVue MP50.
Upstream support is not VSCC validation
The VSCapture Supported Devices workbook is the source for the brand, model, driver, interface, and data-support claims below. It does not mean that VSCC’s Docker pipeline, database mapping, or dashboard has been integrated or tested with that device. Only the MP50 is VSCC-validated.
