Profox

What Profox does

PROFOX Associates, Inc. is a privately-held medical software company headquartered in Coral Springs, Florida, that develops Windows-based desktop applications for collecting, analyzing, and reporting pulse oximetry and capnography data from medical devices. Founded in 1986–1987 by medical professionals and beta-tested at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, the firm has sold oximetry reporting software continuously for over 35 years and is self-described as the industry "golden standard" for pulse oximetry test reporting. The portfolio consists of two core products — PROFOX Oximetry Software (PO), which collects and reports up to 72 hours of oximetry memory data, and PROFOX Respiratory Oximetry Software (PRO), which handles 24-hour combined oximetry and capnography for sleep lab and respiratory workflows — both supporting automatic desaturation scoring, multi-format export (PDF, ASCII, RTF), and multi-language reporting.

The technical platform supports over 100 pulse oximeters and capnographs from major manufacturers including Masimo, Nellcor, Nonin, Medtronic, Philips, and GE Healthcare, making PROFOX a de facto universal reporting layer for heterogeneous device fleets. The business model is a one-time perpetual license — $749 for the multi-manufacturer standard version and $499 for the manufacturer-specific OEM version (50-seat MOQ) — supplemented by custom software development services sold to medical device manufacturers for device-launch and feature-customization projects. Distribution is split between direct sales (website, phone, email during weekday EST hours) and channel partnerships with Masimo globally and VitalAire Canada in Canada, with OEM/white-label bundling available to manufacturers.

The company is small (1–10 employees), privately held with no disclosed investors, no funding history, no API or cloud connectivity, and no AI/ML features. End customers include sleep laboratories, hospitals, clinics, physician practices, and medical device distributors who use the software for sleep apnea diagnosis, ICU monitoring, oxygen and BiPAP therapy documentation, and Medicare compliance reporting.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Masimo: Masimo is a leading global manufacturer of pulse oximetry and capnography hardware and is also a PROFOX distribution partner. It is comparable because it sells integrated patient monitoring solutions that bundle hardware with reporting/connectivity software, directly overlapping PROFOX's clinical use cases from the device side.
• Philips Healthcare: Philips is a major patient monitoring and sleep diagnostics incumbent whose oximetry and capnography devices (IntelliVue, Alice sleep systems) are supported by PROFOX. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering integrated monitoring hardware plus reporting/analytics software spanning the same clinical workflows.
• ResMed: ResMed is a leader in sleep apnea and respiratory care devices (CPAP, ventilators) and offers cloud-connected monitoring (myAir, AirView). Comparable because it addresses the same sleep lab and home respiratory patient populations PROFOX serves and increasingly layers data reporting software on top of its hardware.
• GE Healthcare: GE Healthcare manufactures patient monitors, oximetry modules, and anesthesia/respiratory equipment that PROFOX supports, and bundles its own connectivity and reporting software. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same hospital monitoring and reporting budget.
• Medtronic (Nellcor): Medtronic acquired Nellcor, a leading pulse oximetry brand whose devices PROFOX supports, and sells broader patient monitoring solutions with integrated reporting. Comparable as a diversified medtech incumbent operating in PROFOX's pulse oximetry clinical space.

Emerging players

• VitalConnect: VitalConnect offers wearable biosensor patches (including SpO2 and respiratory rate) with cloud-based monitoring and analytics for hospital and RPM use. Comparable as an emerging player in continuous patient monitoring whose software platform overlaps with PROFOX's clinical reporting function.
• iRhythm Technologies: iRhythm (Zio) provides wearable cardiac monitoring with cloud-based AI analytics and clinician reporting. Comparable as a focused digital health company building software-driven diagnostic reporting on top of ambulatory monitoring data, intersecting with PROFOX's patient monitoring niche.

Direct peers

• Nonin Medical: Nonin makes pulse oximeters and capnographs whose devices PROFOX explicitly supports. Nonin ships its own device management/reporting software (nVISION, SmartPoint) and is therefore a direct competitor in oximetry data collection and reporting for clinical end users.
• Criticare Systems: Criticare manufactures pulse oximeters, capnographs, and multi-parameter monitors whose devices PROFOX explicitly supports, and provides its own data management software. Comparable as a focused device-and-software vendor in the oximetry/capnography space.
• Novametrix Medical Systems: Novametrix (now part of Sentec/Respironics lineage) makes capnography and pulse oximetry devices supported by PROFOX. Comparable as a specialist oximetry/capnography hardware-and-software vendor in the same niche.
