eDM Diagnostic Manager: Audiology and Vestibular Data Management Software From BioMed Jena
The eDM (Diagnostic Manager) is audiology and vestibular data management software from BioMed Jena (Germany), released in 2021 as part of a company history that goes back to 1997. Unlike practice management software, which focuses on appointments and billing, the eDM is built to manage the diagnostic results from BioMed Jena's devices, including audiometry, middle-ear analysis (tympanometry), evoked potentials, otoacoustic emissions, and vestibular testing, in a single patient database. It can connect to your existing clinic system through a GDT interface (HL7 on request).
The eDM (Diagnostic Manager) is diagnostic data management software from BioMed Jena (Germany, founded in 1997). It is built to manage, display, and archive the data from audiology, vestibular, and ENT tests in a single patient database, however many BioMed Jena devices your facility uses.
Instead of a separate program for each device, the eDM gives you one interface and one patient record for the eAUDIO USB (audiometry), eTYMP USB (middle-ear analysis), eABR USB (auditory brainstem response, with an optional VEMP module), eOAE (otoacoustic emissions and newborn hearing screening), the eVNG USB and eHIT USB, and other vestibular devices.
iHear supplies the eDM software and BioMed Jena devices in the UAE, with technical support and training from its Abu Dhabi and Al Ain offices.

What Problem Does the eDM Solve? One Patient Database for Your BioMed Jena Devices
When a clinic or hospital uses more than one diagnostic device, patient data can end up scattered: the audiometry result in one program, the middle-ear analysis in another, and the patient record split across interfaces that do not talk to each other. The eDM helps address this with:
One patient database for all compatible devices, instead of separate records
Easy and quick data preview, with a view of the patient's different tests
Configurable overview of all measurements for each patient
Simpler data administration (one for all) instead of managing each device separately
External PDF import and automatic PDF export, so reports from other sources can sit in the same patient file
User profiles with independent settings for each user in your facility

eDM Network Support and Hospital System Integration (GDT and HL7)
As a center or hospital grows, with more test rooms, more than one branch, or an internal health system already in place, the question shifts from “Is the software good?” to “Will it fit our IT setup without extra cost or complexity?” Here are three areas to check for the eDM:
1. Network Support and Database
Network support: the eDM works over a network, with a single patient database for your facility. Ask iHear how many workstations your setup supports.
Firebird database with no storage limits, so the database can grow with the size of your center.
No workplace licence: BioMed Jena lists the eDM without a licence fee for each workstation, so adding a new exam room or computer does not need a new workplace licence.
2. Data Exchange Interfaces: GDT and HL7
GDT interface included, for exchanging data with clinic and practice software that supports GDT.
HL7 interface on request. HL7 is a widely used standard for exchanging health data between hospital systems, so it can be used to connect the eDM to a hospital information system (HIS). Whether it can connect to a particular system, including a regional health information exchange platform, depends on your facility and on that platform's requirements, so ask iHear to assess it.
BioMed Jena's diagram shows the eDM connecting devices, external findings, and a PDMS (patient data management system), so audiology and vestibular data can sit alongside the rest of the patient's record.
3. Remote Technical Support
Remote support: the Anydesk remote control software can be started directly from the eDM, which helps your support team assist with technical problems remotely.
What This Means for Your IT Team:
The eDM includes a GDT interface and offers HL7 on request, so it is designed to work with existing systems through common data exchange standards. The details of any connection depend on your IT setup, so ask iHear to review it before you buy.
Who Needs the eDM Diagnostic Manager? Use Cases by Facility Type
| Facility type | How it can use the eDM |
|---|---|
| Large hospitals and ENT departments | Manage audiology and vestibular patient data from several devices and workstations in one place, with no workplace licence fee for each workstation |
| Integrated audiology and vestibular diagnostic centers | Manage a single patient file that can hold tests from several devices (audiometry, middle-ear analysis, evoked potentials, otoacoustic emissions, and vestibular tests) |
| Facilities that need to connect to hospital systems (HIS) | Use the GDT interface, or HL7 on request, to connect hearing and balance test data to other hospital systems. The details of any connection depend on your IT setup; ask iHear to review it. |
| Clinics with several doctors and technicians | User profiles with independent settings for each user |
| Facilities planning to add more BioMed Jena devices later | One software for BioMed Jena devices, so adding a compatible device does not call for a separate data management program |
Who Is the eDM Diagnostic Manager For?
Private audiology clinics
That want to keep patient records in one place and organize their daily workflow
ENT departments
In hospitals that want to connect test devices to hospital systems through GDT, or HL7 on request
Newborn hearing screening centers
That use the eOAE and want screening data stored in a patient database; how it connects to any health program or system depends on your facility
Vestibular rehabilitation centers
And dizziness and balance clinics that manage VNG, vHIT, and VEMP test data alongside hearing data
Institutional buyers
And medical procurement departments looking for one data management software for BioMed Jena devices, with no workplace licence fee for each workstation
eDM vs. General Practice Management Software: Which Do You Need?
| Criterion | eDM (BioMed Jena, through iHear) | General practice management software |
|---|---|---|
| Main function | Manages the diagnostic test results from BioMed Jena devices | Manages appointments, billing, and administrative records for the whole clinic |
| Data managed | Audiograms, tympanograms, ABR, OAE, and balance test data | Administrative and financial data, and patient appointments |
| Specialty | Built for BioMed Jena devices | General, for any medical specialty |
| Does one replace the other? | No. It can connect to your existing clinic system through GDT, or HL7 on request | No. Whether it can show results from diagnostic devices depends on the software and the interfaces it supports, such as GDT; ask the vendor |
Summary: you do not have to choose between the two. A clinic typically uses practice management software for its administration, and the eDM if it uses, or plans to use, BioMed Jena devices for diagnostics. The two can work together where the practice software supports GDT or HL7; ask iHear to review your setup.
eDM Compatible BioMed Jena Devices: One Database for Audiology and Vestibular Tests
One reason hospitals and diagnostic centers consider the eDM is that it can bring the data from a range of BioMed Jena devices into a single patient database, instead of a separate system for each device or subspecialty. According to BioMed Jena’s catalogue, the compatible devices fall into two groups:
Audiology Devices Compatible With the eDM
eAUDIO USB
Audiometry
eTYMP USB
Middle-ear analysis (tympanometry)
eABR USB
Auditory evoked potentials (ABR)
eOAE
Otoacoustic emissions and newborn hearing screening
Vestibular and Balance Devices Compatible With the eDM
eHIT USB
Video head impulse test (vHIT)
eDVA USB
Dynamic visual acuity (DVA)
eVNG USB
Video nystagmography (VNG)
eVEMP USB
Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP)
eSVV
Subjective visual vertical (SVV)
ePOSTURO USB
Posturography
KALORIstar CT
Caloric testing
In summary: a facility that offers both audiology and vestibular testing with BioMed Jena devices can manage its patients' data from these devices in one patient database, instead of moving between separate programs and databases for each device or subspecialty. Ask iHear which of these devices are available in the UAE.
