Connecting Healthcare with Connext DDS
Hospitals are rolling out sophisticated equipment complete with sensors, software, pervasive networking and mobile components in their quest to improve care. Yet the reality is that most medical equipment is not connected, leading to administrative and patient care inefficiencies, cost overruns, medical errors, longer recovery times and even death. Today, medical errors account for over 200,000 preventable deaths annually.
RTI brings its expertise in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to connected healthcare. It connects proprietary machines, software and mobile devices. It also enables information flow for real-time decisions, from the operating room to telemedicine. IIoT design principles are used to code secure, interoperable systems that can exchange data in near real time with no single point of failure, while operating within all regulatory compliance.
