Sierra Wireless AirPrime™ Modules Enable Real-Time Patient Monitoring Solution for RS TechMedic B.V.

RS TechMedic B.V. is a medical technology provider based in the Netherlands.
The company aims to reduce complications and injuries sustained by patients
suffering chronic medical conditions.

Challenges

RS TechMedic’s flagship product is its Dyna-Vision™ patient monitoring system. Used in a range of healthcare scenarios, the Dyna-Vision™ allows physicians to remotely monitor the vital signs of patients, regardless of whether they are in hospital or at home. The device collects a range of information including ECG, heart rate, rr-interval, respiratory rate, temperature, and SpO2 (the patient’s oxygen saturation level) through sensors on the patient’s body. In order for physicians to remotely check on their patients’ health, and react quickly in the case of an emergency, RS TechMedic required a way to wirelessly transmit this information over cellular networks.

Solution

The Sierra Wireless AirPrime module allows the Dyna-Vision™ to send patients’
critical data to physicians in real-time over the cellular network enabling
extensive diagnostics in cardiology, pulmonology and neurology. The device can
also be used to send medical information to specialists who may not be based
in close proximity to the patient, speeding up the diagnostic process. Sierra
Wireless’ modules are helping RS TechMedic achieve its aims through:

• Secure and reliable wireless connectivity

• Rugged products designed to exceed healthcare industry requirements

• Fast deployment and cost-effective maintenance and support
