Dedicated Wireless Spectrum for Medical Device Use

There will be the second medical device connectivity conference in San Diego the end of this month.  Unfortunately, I will not able to attend because I will be in Europe.  However, I did desire to voice my discussions surrounding the need or desire for dedicated spectrum for "medical device" use.  This in my opinion is another weak attempt by the increasingly commoditized medical "patient monitoring" space to differentiate.  WMTS has worked in a very "limited" fashion, but cost both the medical device and provider market millions of $$, when viable commercially available technologies like 802.11a/b/g/n were and are available. It is all about the design, implementation, and deployment of wireless that will determine the "safe and effective use".

 

Integra Systems Contacts on DAS Integration

It is with gratitude that Integra Systems  www.integrasystems.org  is in current deployment discussions with one of the forefront centers on cancer research on the East Coast.  My wife survived pancreatic cancer in 2009, so this is why we desire to give back our expertise on a no cost basis to this institution; but others. Its simply distills down things to very a simple message. Save lives by providing technology. We have also been contacted by a major IDN most recently to perhaps sort out all the marketing messaging regarding the design and deployment strategies of distributed antenna systems. The point of this as desribed is to help hospitals to simply make better informed decisions on technology offerings.  We have no allegience to any specific corporate offering, but we desire  to provide suggestions to the right technology at the right price point.  For instance what makes good corporate business and financial sense for a technoloyg deployment?  This of course is based upon our twenty plus years of experience pulling cabling, running spectrum analyzers, and doing what some may say the "grunt work" to make wireless designs work. Results speak for themselves.
