The Healthcare and Enterprise Wireless Experience

Personal Heart Monitors

Personal Heart Monitors – Wall Street Journal

An interesting article came out on October 10, 2022.  The article was written by a physician that addressed the issue of anxiety related to personal heart monitoring devices.  Reference “My watch says I off, what do I do, October 03,  Journal other author. As indicated in this article, “none of these devices can detect the electrical indicators of a heart attack which has much greater morbidity and mortality than atrial fibrillation.” “Lay people could easily misinterpret the advertising of these device manufactures”. The overall outcome of this article was “to have regular check ups and alerting your provider when new symptoms arise. “This approach is evidence based and cost effective, per the author.

It is important to focus on a holistic approach to managing your health.  This means that any personal health monitoring device needs to be multi-parameter.  It should correlate all this information in a way so that the individual has the information at hand.

Integra Systems, Inc. Regulatory Work

Integra Systems, Inc. has assembled a world-class team that has enabled a medical device company to complete an initial FDA 510(k) submission in 2021. This was completed on time and included a vast array of services. These services included EMC/EMI testing, wireless SOC engineering support, safety testing, human factors testing, and co-existence testing. In addition we completed the instructions for use, the quick reference guide, human factor packaging design, the requirements for cybersecurity, IOT MDM services and quality management system efforts.

Plug and Play with Sentry Card

Integra Systems, Inc. wanted to develop a SmartCard to house vital and important medical information and device data in a secure fashion that would be portable. We reached out to a pioneer in the disk drive space that shared our vision. That was over five years ago.

That vision and timing of the market has evolved to SentryCard.

SentryCard crosses all the silos of IT and physical infrastructure to provide secure biometric authentication without costly forklift technology upgrades. Physical and IT security requirements are converging in a rapid fashion and this solution provides the answer to this.

This company is getting huge traction across the enterprise in multiple verticals.

We see major opportunity in the healthcare and medical device space.

Nordic Wireless Quarterly - The first of this decade

See the first version this decade of the Wireless Quarterly from Nordic Semiconductor. www.nordicsemi.com is the leading provider of BLE SOC(s), "system on a chip".

BLE is changing the game in all kinds of unique applications never before thought possible. Note also the release of BLE 5.2.

Commercial 4G LTE-M and NB IoT solutions are now hitting the market in a big way in 2020. The value of Cellular IoT is it allows almost anything to connect globally to the macro cellular network without having to deal with a middle gateway.

Over time Cellular IoT will change as 5G is released. However realized now 4G will meet the huge demand of applications as they hit mainstream in 2020.

Healthcare Communications Mobility Command Center

Integra Systems, Inc has brought together a combined partnership of technologies and companies that will offer to multiple enterprise markets secure field communications.

These solutions can be deployed immediately for the required mission needs.

Two versions exist:

Healthcare Command Center
Field Mobile Command Center

What is the business value?

- An immediate deployable self contained one box solution for secure connectivity for multiple Wi-Fi client devices with backhaul 4G connectivity with no IT requirements from the end user.

Connectivity live on site.

Both configurations consist of using a ruggedized router, an internal battery for many hours of run time on a single charge, external weather proof charging ports, and even solar charging.

All the electronics are enclosed as well as antennas in a military spec IP67 case, lockable and secure, that is fully functional when the case is closed and locked.

DOD FIPS 140-2 Wi-Fi is provided for all Wi-Fi devices, with Verizon LTE 4G as the backhaul with dual redundancy of the ATT network if failover is required.

We provide through our partner the network activation, kitting, shipping and billing. This is a complete “turn-key” solution for rapid field deployment for needed Wi-Fi connectivity with backhaul 4G connectivity to the cloud.

Field Mobile Command Center Details
Wireless Connectivity

Connectivity is provided via a ruggedized LTE Cradlepoint router with remote web-based access to all key configurations, reliable and secure VPN connectivity is standard, enterprise grade security is provided to the DOD requirements as described, and the solution is capable of up to 128 individual Wi-Fi connections in a simultaneous fashion.
