While there was a tremendous amount of activity, the one area that really caught my eye was the 2net Platform. I looked at and thought interesting. In 2010 Integra Systems was presented a "business problem"...connect home healthcare infusion devices. We in under 90 days we had solution that looks like this, however it also used Zigbee with an embedded device server to GSM modem, custom faceplate for the device company and also battery operated. In the case of 2net it uses Bluetooth, where we used Zigbee. I also feel ANT could be used, in fact I have the feeling it really does not matter, ANT, Bluetooth, WLAN, it is bridging to the cellular world. We had to have it's own battery as well as provide AC operation as it had to go outside with the patient. I do like what QualComm (now QualComm Life), has done in presenting an "ecosystem", which extends from what this is considered as a Gateway to the cloud. They have provided all the FDA 510k approvals, as this is considered a Class I device. Apparently they also have ironed out the global carrier approval process. As a side this truly is a M to M (Machine to Machine), type of solution. Device companies should consider this, but also understand the "technology" and management services is out there in the industry at large. In closing, felt kind of good that what I did two years ago, has come to fruition large and center with the leader in this space.
