Connected Medical Devices

The device provides an innovative approach to cancer therapy that is transforming patient’s lives. However, as the company looks to expand around the world, it has a number of IoT challenges to overcome in order to optimize the performance of its equipment and maximize patient benefits.  

Stable, reliable connection

The device requires secure and stable connectivity layer to ensure there is no break in the transmission of data to back-end systems. 

Simplifying global connectivity

As the company expands its geographic footprint, connectivity is becoming more complex. Different countries have their own network providers and pricing plans. Managing multiple SIMs across a range of territories is both challenging and a drain on resources – Europe alone has hundreds of separate operators. When it comes to global deployment, there can also be issues with reliability, due to localized network disruptions or coverage gaps. These may require local troubleshooting in order to get back online, which can be costly and difficult to organize. The company wanted a simple way to connect its devices anywhere in the world, with a single platform to manage them all. 

Data security

Finally, patient data is sensitive and confidential and the company needed an IoT solution that ensured the highest standards of security. Cellular connectivity is both highly secure and data is encrypted by default which helps provide an extra layer of protection.
