CASE STUDY
CREATING A REMOTE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM FOR VIOS THAT ADAPTS TO PATIENT NEEDS.
ABOUT
VIOS
Vios is a leading medical technology company that utilizes medical-grade IoT sensors and remote monitoring services to lower the cost of treatment by optimizing the management of patients throughout the continuum of care. They wanted to build a real-time, bedside monitoring solution and create value-added services for partnered hospitals. With our proven expertise in connected healthcare solutions, we were their first choice for a partner who could help them achieve this.
THE PROBLEM
Looking at the healthcare landscape, the Vios team identified the following problems:
ACUTE SHORTAGE OF CLINICIANS
INCREASING PATIENT COUNT
RISING EQUIPMENT COSTS
SIGNIFICANT AND ESCALATING LABOR COSTS
SUBPAR PATIENT EXPERIENCES IN MOST FACILITIES
Vios sought to address these problems using IoT sensors and virtual patient care services to lower healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes through clinical workflow automation.
THE
CHALLENGES
Key challenges included compliance and adherence to standards such as HIPPA and FDA in the design phase. It involved precise attention to detail and frequent iterations. But with diligent efforts, our team built a monitoring system that delivered results while adhering to the highest quality and data security standards.
TECH
SOLUTION
We developed a unique HIPAA-compliant mobile-based monitoring system that can capture the patient’s vital signs, including heart rate, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, via a sensor attached to the patient’s body. The information from the sensors is then transmitted, in real-time, to the desktop monitor at the nurses’ station, and in case of any emergency, the caregiver is alerted. The monitoring system allows hospitals to work more efficiently with limited resources and to accommodate more patients.
Key Benefits of the Solution:
TOP-NOTCH DATA SECURITY
IMPROVED PATIENT OUTCOMES
CLASS-LEADING EASE OF USE
REDUCED PRESSURE ON FACILITIES THANKS TO PRECISE, REMOTE MONITORING
