The Future of Healthcare is Intelligent and Connected

Improve Patient Outcomes
Reduce Costs
Increase Precision
Satisfy Complex Requirements

The convergence of robotics, AI, data analytics and visualization technologies is paving the way for a new era in MedTech, advancing breakthrough innovations that can deliver more precise, personalized, and predictive care. Data connectivity is the foundation for the software and fundamental technologies that are transforming the industry, enabling improved patient outcomes and clinical efficiency.

Today’s medical systems require complex connectivity between sensors, actuators, control systems and interfaces. They must satisfy simultaneous and demanding interoperability, reliability, cybersecurity, safety and performance requirements.

Instead of relying on cloud or centralized data centers, these systems must process real-time data from a number of sources closer to the data-generating applications, at the edge. Legacy device architectures are not designed with the digital communication infrastructure required to integrate new technologies. A smart, software-based solution is needed to satisfy a host of demanding system requirements around interoperability, reliability, safety, performance, and cybersecurity as industry regulations evolve.

Leading the Digital Transformation in Connected, Intelligent MedTech

RTI is enabling a new generation of medical systems from the operating room to the ICU, by providing the software infrastructure for interoperable, real-time data connectivity, which enables the seamless integration of distributed data sources, applications, and systems.

Real-time intelligence, data interoperability, and digital connectivity are transforming medical devices into multi-modal, AI-enabled systems for operative guidance, real-time insights, and automation.

RTI’s products enable device manufacturers to achieve and accelerate the vision of connected healthcare across programs and product lines. RTI helps customers build a pipeline of MedTech innovation based on flexible and scalable architectures that can leverage the power of an integrated system of systems.
