About the client

The client is a specialty medical equipment manufacturer/supplier, headquartered in California, with operations in over 50 countries​. They design and make a complete line of safe, reliable products for use across the continuum of care. The company helps patients and caregivers forge the human and emotional connections that enhance clinical experience and are the essence of outstanding quality-of-care.

The Challenge

The client was in need of digitizing their medical device to gain a competitive edge in the healthcare market segment. The major goal of the project was to enable Doctors to monitor Homecare patients remotely in “real-time”.

Medical Devices could transmit data digitally, but there was a lack of tools to interpret and add intelligence to the captured data. Complex medical data needed to be presented in an intuitive manner on mobile devices with limited screen real-estate.

High Fault-tolerance and resilience required to allow the application to function in a remote environment, 24×7 with limited resources. Also, lack of Interfaces to communicate with medical devices.
