关于客户
Hearo is a company based in the Springfield area, dedicated to helping patients live more independently by providing healthcare agencies, assisted living facilities, and in-home care organizations with remote patient monitoring platforms. Their technology includes both sensors and software, enabling patients to communicate with their remote care team through voice and video 24/7. Hearo's provider-first approach allows home care providers to create their own virtual support teams, ensuring personalized treatment for patients. This approach sets them apart from others in the remote healthcare space, as it avoids outsourcing and ensures that patients receive care from familiar providers who understand their conditions and needs.
挑战
Bates, the co-founder and CTO of Hearo, faced significant challenges while developing a new core feature for their remote patient monitoring platform. Initially using SignalR for messaging components, Bates encountered limitations when trying to implement a feature that allowed customers and patients to send messages to multiple or specific users, groups, channels, and locations. This issue became critical as he prepared for a tradeshow, realizing that the existing solution would not scale to meet future needs. Frustrated and in need of a quick solution, Bates turned to PubNub, a platform recommended by his developer community. PubNub's extensive client libraries and built-in complex messaging workflows provided the necessary capabilities to overcome the limitations Bates faced with SignalR.
解决方案
To address the challenges faced with SignalR, Bates integrated PubNub into Hearo's platform. PubNub's extensive client libraries and built-in complex messaging workflows allowed Bates to roll out the new messaging feature overnight, saving over 80 hours of development time. This integration enabled Hearo to support real-time, multiparty messaging, ensuring that messages, alerts, and calls are sent to the right users, channels, and locations. PubNub's platform also provided a fail-safe mechanism, retaining sensor data even if systems go offline and pushing stored data once connectivity is restored. This ensured that critical information was not lost, and patients continued to receive the necessary support. Additionally, PubNub's library of SDKs allowed Hearo to confidently add new sensors, client platforms, and hardware, knowing that PubNub would support any tech stack they chose.

Case Study
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.
