About

Monitor is a macOS Automated Anaesthetic Record Keeping system. It allows you to plot data downloaded from anaesthetic monitors at full resolution, as well as enter data for drugs, fluids, procedures, urine output, blood loss, positioning, cardiac rhythm and other events.

Unlike most other AARKs, Monitor stores all transmitted data at full resolution, which is usually between 2 and 10 seconds.

Monitor has been in clinical use since 1993, and I use it personally in my everyday practice.

It is not available for other platforms. You can get somewhat similar apps for Windows and Android here.
