挑战
为了帮助更多的人活得更久，心脏病专家需要数周、数月甚至更长时间内收集的心电图 (ECG) 读数或血压测量等数据。为了使此类数据收集成为可能，一个由 37 个组织组成的联盟构建了一个物联网 (IoT) 原型，称为面向老龄化人口的数字和模拟伴侣 (digilog)。使用健身手环和微型可穿戴传感器，digilog 捕获并将患者的 ECG 读数和其他健康测量结果发送到 Microsoft Azure。在那里，物联网和其他服务将不同的医疗数据转换为易于阅读的总结性仪表板和关键绩效指标 (KPI)，用户及其医生可以通过移动应用程序或门户网站查看这些数据。随着 digilog 经历了广泛的测试，它的创建者对其在偏远和欠发达地区挽救生命、降低医疗成本以及提供所需护理的潜力感到兴奋。

每年，全球约有 1700 万人死于心血管疾病。如果他们的医生意识到他们的血管系统和心脏发生了重大变化，许多人就能活下来。然而，由于多种原因，许多人直到为时已晚才向医生报告症状。而且通常没有外部症状。德国领先的医院 Ruppiner Kliniken 心脏、血管和胸部疾病科主任 Kurt JG Schmailzl 教授解释说：“我们的心脏病科在这里以非常有效的方式照顾患者。然而，为了帮助挽救更多生命，我们需要为人们提供一种方法来收集关于他们的健康的长期数据——在他们离开医院之前和之后——并且这样做的方式不会影响他们的日常生活。”

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
