Healthcare Wireless and Device Connectivity: IOT

The Enterprise IOT Business Model for Healthcare

It is recognized that most medical device companies are challenged to provide remote service and software updates. This either requires a remote VPN session or a physical site visit. Also, most devices simply are not set up for proactive maintenance. Proactive maintenance means that the medical device and/or solution could prevent costly downtime. Other vertical markets have embraced this business model. For example the aviation industry can monitor jet engines in the sky and have a part ready when the jet lands. Expensive farming equipment can be monitored in a IOT wireless fashion enabling parts to be delivered literally in the field. Deployment of an IOT business model for the medical device community is no simple task. It consists moving parts to ensure that the IOT model is a success. This includes but is not limited to the hardware selection, but kitting, carrier onboarding, network monitoring, financial reporting, and support. Integra Systems, Inc., has formed a strategic business model and partnership that can make this easy and very straightforward.

IOT (Internet of Things) and Integra Systems

In the past year (2014) one of the “hottest” buzz words; has been IOT (Internet of Things). It is felt that advent of the smart phone, now Low Power Bluetooth, and the carriers providing the speeds and feeds of 4G with costs in line; the timing never could be more right for this explosive opportunity in the market. We feel that this could be even “bigger” than the Internet; as when all the devices become connected, and great opportunities for data analytics and mining is present. While many traditional “networking” companies are trying to shift their marketing message; one company definitely has the “big stake” in the ground. www.sierrawireless.com Integra Systems, Inc. www.integrasystems.org over the past five years has worked in the background with several companies developing IOT and cloud based solutions for the emerging medical device market place with connection to the EMR. We also have targeted other vertical markets. A large part of this vision has been back since 2000, when the principal had working exposure and design opportunities to working with a great company in Temucula, CA, www.opto22.com Way ahead of it’s time.
