Good Reasons … Remote Monitoring & Management of Medical Systems

• Become more efficient

• Actions based on real data from the field

• Avoid cost & downtime – preventive / predictive maintenance

• Improve products and services

• Usage and utilization data

• Product / software updates

• Faster and more efficient support / services

• Open up new business opportunities

• Extended service offering

• Increase agility

• Fast Time-to-Market – move faster than the competition

• Enable small things to make a big impact

Medical & Healthcare IoT Applications Challenges and Perceived Barriers

• Different medical devices / protocols / interfaces

• Local intelligence required

• Secure medical device access and configuration

• Aggregation (communication cost reduction)

• Local (remote) processing

• International deployment / customer base

• Carrier certifications for cellular solutions

• Support

• Security

• Integrating into secure hospital networks

Medical & Healthcare IoT Applications Use Case: Remote Device Monitoring & Management

Application:

The customer manufactures sophisticated medical equipment that is

deployed internationally in hospitals and clinics. Typical deployment

situations make it difficult to do remote monitoring and maintenance

because of the security requirements on the customer side.

With Eurotech's M2M/IoT building blocks a solution is implemented that

overcomes the typical security and network issues and enables besides

management access, applications for data collection and analytics. One

example is preventive / predictive maintenance for the distributed medical

devices.

Key Success Factors:

Flexible HW with wired, WiFi and cellular connectivity

Internationally deployable (ReliaCELL) solution

GWY easy to use GUI for technician configuration

Everyware Software Framework on the Multi-Service

Gateway simplifies app development on the device

Everyware Cloud as Integration Platform for Data, Device

and App Management including Everyware VPN

Everyware Cloud Functional Overview

M2M Integration Platform Device Operation & Management

• The operation and management of the distributed devices in the field

is one of the major challenges and cost factors of M2M / IoT solutions

or infrastructures

• It is a substantial part of the TCO of an M2M / IoT solution

• The management of configurations and other software components

on the remote device needs to be provided in a way easily to be

integrated into the enterprise IT

• The logging and monitoring of vital data from the distributed systems

for is essential for a secure, healthy and efficient operational

infrastructure

• The life-cycle management of the applications / business logic on the

device is becoming increasingly important where multiple over time

changing services have to be provided by the gateway in the field

• Transparent and secure remote access for troubleshooting and .

………. problem solving

• Secure initiated transparent IP

connection between remote systems

and devices in the field

• Gateways behind firewalls can be

reached

• No IP addressing conflicts prevent or

complicate the establishment of

connections

• Using the established MQTT channel

for initiating the VPN connection to the

remote device (openVPN)

• Requires ESF 2.x / Kura and the
