Formcloud: every device, its firmware, and where its data goes.

The platform underneath every Nexaform fleet. It knows what you own, what each device is running, who it belongs to, and where its readings should land.

What it does

Five jobs, all of which used to be someone's spreadsheet.

Inventory that reconciles

Devices are discovered on the network and matched against what you think you own. Disagreements are listed, not hidden.

  • Discovery through Fieldmesh and Nexa Edge
  • Reconciliation against your CMMS export
  • Serial, firmware and calibration per device

Firmware without a cart

Updates go out by device group, starting with a canary group you choose, and stop by themselves if the canaries misbehave.

  • Staged rollouts with automatic halt
  • Signed firmware rollback (since 4.3)
  • Maintenance windows per site

Programs and assignment

A device belongs to a program, a site and, for wearables, a patient episode. Formcloud keeps that chain intact.

  • Patient episode start and end
  • Depot workflows for issue and return
  • Automatic unassignment on return

Routing data by rule

Readings go where the program says: the clinical record, a research store, a monitoring center, or several at once.

  • HL7 v2 and FHIR R4 outputs
  • Research export with de-identification
  • Rules versioned and reviewable

Evidence on demand

Every change to a device, a rule or a user is logged and signed, and exportable for an audit or an investigation.

  • Signed per-device transition log
  • Role-based access with SAML and OIDC
  • SCIM 2.0 user provisioning

Clinic views

Device clinics work inside Formcloud when they do not have a home for this in the record yet.

  • Corta episode triage queue
  • Axon Sense trend review
  • Configurable alert thresholds per program

Release history

Recent Formcloud releases. Hosted tenancies update automatically; on-premises installs update from the customer portal.

Signed firmware rollback

Return a device group to a previous version without a site visit, with a signed record of every transition.

Depot workflows for home programs

Issue, return and refurbishment steps for Axon Sense and Nexa Edge, with chain-of-custody records.

Canary groups with automatic halt

A rollout pauses itself when canary devices report errors above a threshold you set.

Data residency per tenancy

US, Canada, EU and UK regions, chosen at tenancy creation and never moved without a migration plan.

The day we stopped keeping a spreadsheet of firmware versions was the day I believed this would work.

A Formcloud trial runs against an export of your existing asset list. The reconciliation report alone is usually worth the afternoon.
