We help life sciences companies deliver greater value for patients, manufacturers and providers through the convergence of smart connected products, advanced analytics and extended reality.


The internet of medical things (IoMT) has delivered tremendous value for patients and medical device manufacturers. With their ability to collect, analyze and transmit device and health data, IoMT solutions are enhancing the effectiveness of patient care, decreasing overall costs, and unlocking new revenue streams. As digital technologies such as advanced analytics and extended reality (XR) advance and further entwine with IoMT, the benefits will increase.

From predictive and prescriptive insights that can drive the creation of new business models and differentiated offerings, further decrease product downtime, and optimize business processes to XR capabilities that transform product service and support, significantly elevating customer experience – the impact will only grow.

CASE STUDY

We helped a leading life sciences company conduct rapid, over-the-air updates to provide urgently needed capabilities

Our client’s blood analysis machines require a testing recipe or ‘assay’ to learn how to test for new pathogens or antibodies. Previously these updates were conducted by a field technician that had to be scheduled in advance for on-site visits.

As travel became a hazard, our client was able to shift their assay releases to fully remote, pushing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies updates over-the-air to their machines across geographies almost instantly, while reducing service costs and keeping people safe.

Our work made it possible for our client to maintain their market advantage at a critical time, while meeting the needs of customers who are counting on them.

Together, we enabled:

  • Over 30,000 medical devices (instruments) to be connected globally
  • An instrument to provide 100-200 tests per hour
  • Quick and efficient device updates with new assay parameters via a Software Content Management system

CASE STUDY

We helped a leading medical device company achieve a 50% reduction in mean time to repair with remote access

Our client works to hand people new victories in the face of cancer, from advanced radiotherapy, radiosurgery, to many other vital cancer-fighting tools.

Patients who rely on this equipment sometimes schedule appointments months in advance. That means that unscheduled downtime is not simply an inconvenience, it can mean a missed chance of an early diagnosis or delaying a critical treatment.

Our work means that equipment can be serviced remotely, eliminating downtime for planned service. It also means that data and analytics can be shared with field technicians prior to their arrival on-site, ensuring they are armed with everything they need for successful and efficient service.

Our work helped ensure that essential equipment is available to patients when it is needed, and resulted in:

  • 50% reduction in mean time to repair (MTTR)
  • 700 telephone consultations per month resolved remotely
  • 4 hours of travel time saved for each call
  • Reduced service costs by $2,000 for each problem resolved remotely
