AXIS Connect · Healthcare Media SDKs & APIs

Your Devices. Your Applications. Our Technology.

You build the healthcare experience. We power the technology behind it.

AXIS Connect is the CogniAxis technology platform for MedTech manufacturers, medical device OEMs, healthcare software developers and hospital IT teams. It is designed to let partners build supported medical media capabilities, such as capture, recording, streaming and collaboration, into their own applications through SDKs, APIs and reusable services, while keeping their own brand, interface and clinical workflows.

Connect. Build. Innovate.

Overview

Problems it addresses

  • Medical devices, disconnected media. Endoscopy, laparoscopy, microscopy and ultrasound systems produce valuable video that often stays on the device.
  • Media is hard to build from scratch. Capture, recording, live streaming and secure sharing take a long time to build and validate for clinical settings.
  • Every hospital is different. Connecting to hospital systems needs configured, validated interfaces, site by site.

Who it is for

  • MedTech manufacturers and medical device OEMs
  • Healthcare software developers
  • Hospital IT teams
  • HIS, LIMS and RIS/PACS vendors
  • System integrators

AXIS Connect capabilities
CapabilityDescription
Device capture SDKA Capture SDK for bringing video and audio from compatible medical devices into supported media services, where validated for the device.
Recording and streaming APIsAPIs for recording and live streaming device video inside a partner's application.
Collaboration and media servicesReusable services for live collaboration, media management, sessions and access control.
Your brand, your interfacePartners build or extend their own application with AXIS Connect services behind it, without having to adopt the CogniAxis user interface.
Optional AI servicesOptional AXIS AI assistance where supported and enabled: transcription, video highlights and draft documentation. Outputs are for professional review, with no diagnostic output.
Hospital system interfacesConfigured interfaces with HIS/EHR, LIMS, RIS/PACS and other systems, using standards such as HL7 FHIR and DICOM where implemented, on-premises or in the cloud.
Partner onboardingA defined process for technology partners, including access to documentation as it is published.

How AXIS Connect works

  1. Connect: Bring video and audio from compatible medical devices in through the Capture SDK.
  2. Build: Add recording, streaming, collaboration and media services to your own application through SDKs and APIs.
  3. Extend: Enable optional AI assistance, with outputs reviewed by professionals.
  4. Integrate: Connect to hospital systems through configured, validated interfaces.

Applications

  • MedTech OEMs: device companion apps: Add capture, recording and streaming to a device's own software.
  • Hospitals: surgical collaboration: Build connected surgical workflows on reusable AXIS Connect services.
  • Education: teaching and training: Stream and record procedures for training applications.
  • Research: research workflows: Bring governed clinical media into research tools, including AXIS Evidence studies.

Integration with the AXIS ecosystem

AXIS Connect is the technology layer under the AXIS ecosystem: AXIS CSM is the connected surgical management solution, and AXIS Connect lets partners build connected applications of their own. It also provides integration pathways into AXIS Evidence and approved AXIS AI services, and hosts the ABDM Interoperability module. Supported systems, standards and deployments are confirmed for each integration.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to use the CogniAxis interface?

No. AXIS Connect is designed so partners keep their own application, brand and workflows, with AXIS Connect services behind them.

Which devices are supported?

Compatibility is confirmed device by device. Tell us about your device and we will assess it with you.

Where is the API documentation?

Documentation is shared with approved partners. Request developer access to start.

Is AXIS Connect ABDM-certified?

No platform-wide certification is claimed. Any certified ABDM scope will be stated exactly, with its date and entity, once verified.
