Connected Health Solution for a Medical Device Company

Connected Health Solution for a Medical Device Company

Our client Is a multi-billion dollar healthcare company. For this engagement, we partnered with the Global R&D division which focused on the creation of medical devices.

CHALLENGE

This organization has a service offering to provide treatment in patients’ homes. The treatment machines run on a modem and a jump drive, programmed with the treatment. This is a non-connected health solution, and the modem is only able to do one-way communication. Treatment files are sent back to clinic nurses, but patients would need to go back to the clinic if any changes need to be made, increasing inconvenience and health risk to the patients.

APPROACH

The client partnered with Talent Groups to identify and deliver key resources to support the design, architecture, and development of these solutions. We worked closely with the client’s management team to assess resource needs and define a streamlined process for providing top technical talent. Our team supplied Project Managers, Architects, and Analysts who led the design and development of software supporting the client’s Global Therapy Management and Connected Health platforms, with a focus on core and extended services for home therapy management, operational efficiency, and Connected Health IoT.

IMPACT

A key component of this solution is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) prescription application that securely transmits treatment data to the cloud and to in-home treatment devices. The application supports bidirectional communication, enabling physicians to send prescriptions directly to the devices.



Our resources also provided architectural support across mobile application frameworks and enterprise services, including HIE, IAM, data analytics, business intelligence, and ML/AI initiatives. The solution is Java-based and leverages Bluetooth connectivity with the treatment device, Wi-Fi communications, and cloud integration. From there, it connects with multiple enterprise systems, including the client’s ERP platform (SAP). The technology is currently being piloted in patient homes, with FDA pre-submission completed and approval pending.
