Healthcare Wireless and Device Connectivity

The Role of Wireless Test Beds FCC Meeting - March 3, 2015 - Washington DC

A workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 31 at the FCC Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

PROMOTING MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION - THE ROLE OF WIRELESS TEST BEDS.
We are registered.

testbeds@fcc.gov

Integra Systems, Inc. has authored test plans and protocols (copyrighted and patent submitted), and conducted testing for over 8 different medical device companies over the past seven years for both design build, and FDA 510 (k) approvals. This testing has included the landscape of multiple start ups in the medical device space; and established multi-billion $ companies. We have additionally defined enterprise deployment guidelines for ensuring the best of practice use models for wireless LAN enabled real time and near real time medical devices.

The co-existence testing follows the guidelines of www.ansi.org for validation and verification of the intended use within multiple vertical markets.

Network ecosystem testing follows per the attached white paper we have authored on the behalf of www.ixiacom.com Network testing was designed and occurred per the intended application use model within healthcare facilities. It was validated and verified upon different enterprise infrastructures.

We have additionally used this same process for validation and verification of a pilot WLAN project for www.nih.gov as engineering subject matter expert at the below site.

Our most recent white paper authored for www.lairdtech.com is also attached that describes how to select test and validate the proper WLAN embedded module for medical devices.

Product brochure of Anritsu spectrum analyzer/signal generator is attached.

Ivenix Infusion Therapy

Integra Systems, Inc., has recently worked with www.ivenix.com. After working with several infusion device companies, we feel that this is pretty revolutionary on a lot of levels. Note, currently not available or approved by the FDA.

Masimo Root and Introduction

It looks like Masimo is entering into the mainstream systems patient business with this introduction. They are providing by this introduction wearable/portable monitors that are able to be docked into a secondary display unit. This definitely it seems cuts down costs as not all the processing power for the parameters and inputs has to sit idle at each bedside. They also it seems that they have the ability to integrate infusion pumps, ventilators, etc., directly at the point of care. Their innovative algorithms have changed the game of pulse oximetry over the past many years. I also like the integration of WLAN (Wireless LAN) and LPBT (Low Power Bluetooth) into Root, which offers flexibility not see before in a patient monitoring system. The prevailing question will be the integration of this data to the EMR??

TriadSecure and Blustor Press Release

Integra Systems, Inc. has been working with BluStor and MSP to bring discussions together and about the synergies of these two technology offerings. This is first solution that solves the security issues at the edge through the cloud to the back end. We feel that this combination is pretty amazing. Will have cards at the upcoming HIMSS conference in April.

March 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Strategic Planning of Lincroft, NJ -- developer of Triad Dataspace™ products has partnered with BluStor, creator of the BluStor™ computer-on-a-smartcard to create TriadSecure™ vastly enhancing the security of SSL e-data transmissions and storage.

Finis Conner, CEO/Founder, BluStor PMC says, "The TriadSecure™ method is implemented as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chip embedded in our BluStor™ smartcard. It uses single-use data abstraction in the BluStor™ smartcard's memory before data is sent to a Secured Socket Layer (SSL) for encryption and transmission. Use of TriadSecure™ vastly complicates decryption and frustrates skimming, spoofing, RF snooping, information insertion and other forms of transmission hacking. TriadSecure™ augments our built-in BluStor™ security methods, for situations where confidential data must be transmitted to a secure, remote and integrated data center, Storage Area Network (SAN) or cloud repository to complete third-party transactions. Only transaction specific details are sent instead of data, eliminating personal data interception."

Arthur Gasch, CEO/Founder, Medical Strategic Planning says,"TriadSecure™ enhances the utility of BluStor™ smartcards, when used as ultra-secure healthcare ID cards, Health Savings Account debit cards, or for PHI e-data transmission from doctors' offices, hospitals, and pharmacies to any vendor's Storage Area Network (SAN) servers. If sent to a Triad Health Record Bank (Triad-HRB), the data is secure during both transmission and storage. SSL certificates have proven vulnerable, but adding the TriadSecure™ pre-abstracts and separately encrypts the content message for each transmission, enhancing security of the widely-used SSL Certificates. TriadSecure™ defeats long-term surveillance across multiple SSL transmissions because even identical message content would be encrypted differently during subsequent transmission."

The BluStor™ smartcard is a capable computing platform in a card designed to enhance the security of confidential information. MSP's TriadSecure™ enhancement provides extraordinary transmission and storage security for confidential e-data sent to remote Triad™ application servers for e-wallet, insurance authorizations, or Healthcare Savings Account debit purchase applications. The TriadSecure-BluStor™ solution provides both local, transmission and stored data security - providing an end-to-end solution environment. Both companies believe this is a significant and possibly unique advance to current security approaches.

Cyber Security Outlook 2015 from Cisco

This is a very good security report from Cisco...2015. It definitely shows the level of sophistication, detail, and the background of just how we are under attack. I find it ironic that for the past twenty years Europe has had the chip and pin cards, but only now are they coming out in 2014 and 2015 in the United States. So may ask why>..well follow the money. Integra Systems, Inc. is working with several companies to develop innovative security solutions for healthcare end to end security..point of care to the back end.
