The Future of Healthcare-IoT Connectivity with Medical Facilities
- How IoT is used for the greater good to change the world and save lives.
When people think of the hospital, the first phrase that comes into their mind is “long line”. It takes more time on one trip to the hospital than your reading time in a month.
Lisa, a 23-week pregnant woman, can’t agree more. Yesterday, she spent the whole afternoon just for a color ultrasound. Lisa was angry and upset,” There was a long line as usual, when I waited there for 2 hours, they told me the two color ultrasound equipment were out of order! What a day! Later the staff told that the equipment’s maintenance crew is on its way, and ask me to stay there for another 3 hours until the color ultrasound is done, otherwise, the next appointment will be next 2 weeks. “
The small and medium-sized medical equipment were used most in a hospital, such as color ultrasound equipment, blood analyzer, breathing machine, etc., while most of them still use a manual type of traditional management mode, often facing the slow equipment status updating, unusable old parts, malfunction of equipment, and so on, which seriously affect the efficiency of experience to the patient and hospital.
IoT Connectivity with medical facilities will greatly help the situation. If the medical equipment were out of order, the IoT networking devices, such as cellular routers or gateways, will provide remote monitoring, online diagnosis, log analysis, and so on.
Small and Medium-Sized Medical Equipment IoT Connectivity Solution
With the compact industrial cellular router, medical equipment manufacturers know the operation status of medical equipment at any time and make the corresponding technical measures. And IoT connectivity also enables the hospital facility maintenance staff to access all the medical equipment at anytime and anywhere.
An industrial cellular router can transfer the data of medical equipment status in real-time to the remote cloud center (connect with the router to upload the data information of relevant devices), and then conduct data analysis through the remote monitoring cloud center.
Medical equipment IoT connectivity solution consists of three parts: front-end medical equipment, network transmission, and remote monitoring cloud center.
Front-end medical equipment:
Small and medium-sized medical instruments, such as a ventilator, blood analyzer, ultrasonic detector, monitor, and other instruments. These small and medium-sized medical devices are the largest and most used parts in the hospital. Once the failure occurs, the patient’s medical experience and the hospital’s work efficiency will be seriously affected.
Network transmission：
The IR300 industrial-grade router is equipped with highly reliable network access and transmission capacity, which establishes a safe and reliable communication bridge between front-end medical equipment and remote operation and maintenance center.
Remote monitoring cloud center:
This is another important feature of this solution, running status real-time monitoring and real-time alarm, on-line fault diagnosis analysis, remote fault location and diagnosis, material analysis, the status of parts run log function, guarantee the normal operation of medical equipment, for medical equipment manufacturers profit value!
