Healthcare Technology Services Remote Patient Monitoring Solutions A Case Study 93 85 104 The Client A leading medical device and home care management solution company that provides software and devices to facilitate remote healthcare management. The firm provides a patient portal and home care “kits” in coordination with the Qualcomm 2net Hub and Remote Tele Exchange (RTX) services for measurement and near-real-time transmission of Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Pulse and other vitals for a set program duration. Business Challenge Develop web tools, interface engines, Integrated Voice Recognition communications, wireless Qualcomm 2net Hub integration and MedM integration to capture and transmit the data obtained from the patient monitoring devices to the patient portal. This data would then allow an alerting system to identify any anomalies and message the proper care provider so an intervention could be facilitated. Challenges of integrating with the Qualcomm 2net Hub included: Synchronizing Qualcomm Cloud and the Care Portal. Identifying valid vital readings from the devices that where transmitted through the Qualcomm 2net Hub. As the devices have no user interface, the interpretation of the data was entirely up to the business logic for obtaining a meaningful reading. To this end, Diaspark developed a processes by which the readings from a specified window (e.g. 40 readings) would be obtained and the RMS Value calculated as the vital value. As the data from the Qualcomm 2net Hub was in the Qualcomm designated format, a conversion process needed to transform the data to the companies identified standard. Diaspark’s Partnership Diaspark partnered with the client as an IT solutions provider and provided the following services. 1 Deployed developers with advanced knowledge in medical software and interoperability to assist in the development of web portals, IVR solutions, Qualcomm 2net Hub and MedM integration and communication protocols to acquire data from the patient pertinent to the program they were enrolled in. 2 Research and prototyping open-source interface engines like Mirth Connect for HL7 integration and IVR technologies to prove the effectiveness of such software. 3 Prototyping other established portal technologies for alternate data collection and reporting capabilities as well as business partnerships. 4 To enable Care Management to work in a multi-lingual environment. 5 Researched the workflow to enable Qualcomm 2net Hub and MedM to receive and transmit data and present it in the Care Management Portal. Diaspark Value Diaspark served as a single source solution provider by delivering niche technology capabilities to successfully address the entire set of client requirements under Patient Portal, Telehealth, HL7 conversions and Qualcomm integration. Diaspark engineers were familiar with the use of Qualcomm Cloud, Qualcomm API, and MedM API - for integration with: Mobile Devices Medical Devices Portals Technology Overview Middleware Media Tools Patient Portal MedM Healthcare Provider Health Devices Blood Pressure Monitor IVR (Interactive Voice Responses) Mirth Interface Weight Scale Home Appliances Provider Portal Patient 93 85 Pulse Oximeter FreeSWITCH 2net Hub 2net Platform 104 Glucometer Mobile Care Technology and Tools C#, ASP.Net | SQL Server 2008 | Ajax tool kit | Mirth Interface engine | Free SWITCH Software (open source cross-platform telephony platform) | HL7 Use of third party APIs / Interfaces (Qualcomm, MedM) to send / receive data. Business Benefit to Client Based on the engagement, the client was able to focus more on the sale and advancement of the program with extended device support while the solution upgrades continued at agile speed. With Care Management increasingly being served by mobile technology, the client was able to provide easy and rapid solution for out-patient monitoring to Hospitals and Home Care providers.
