Utility to auto update database from database servers?

Question

I have a scenario where I have to develop an utility in .net which will keep updating a database say "MyUpdatedDataBase" from other four database servers.

This utility comprise of two parts.

1) This utility will run every after 30 minutes and check that I have some new records in the table say "Patients" on any of four db servers, if so it will insert those new records in central database MyUpdatedDataBase. Now there comes second part.

2) I have some restful services in the Utility which are consumed by a device. The device makes a call to method (GetPatientInfo) of rest service to fetch data.

Now keep in view all this scenario, what solution do you purpose? As far as I think I have to create a window service which will run on every db server in order to update my database MyUpdatedDataBase. And then will have to create Utility with restful service so that device may consumed this service.

What can be better here ? As I have to implement it with great care so need exact and precise solution.

What db are you using? You could simply open connections to the 4 different DBs and get records without adding extra software to support on remote servers or use replication or ETL sevices it keep data in sync.

Have a look at SSIS - SQL Server Integration Services, if you can't open a direct connection to the db this might stop you from reinventing the wheel.

Should look into DB replication services. This will keep bogus records from popping up and accidental data duplication.
