Dell Boomi (Boomi), a provider of cloud integration services, and local partner Nalta Group (Nalta) are helping Dutch start-up digitalAngel to develop a pilot with smart mattresses. This ‘Smart Bed’ for care homes, which shares real-time data with care givers, will have a revolutionary impact on healthcare. Furthermore, both partners are working closely with digitalAngel to create the world’s first open Internet of Things (IoT) platform for the healthcare market. digitalAngel, a subsidiary of Medux, is leading the charge in smart (IoT) healthcare.
DigitalAngel has adopted Boomi integration platform as a service (iPaaS) to launch a ground-breaking pilot project focusing on intelligent mattresses. These mattresses share sensory data with nurses, caregivers and healthcare staff in real-time to provide instantaneous and round-the-clock monitoring of patients.
The smart mattress is able to transmit sensory data to care givers and, in the near future, will be able to automatically adjust a patient’s sleeping position, reacting to how ‘well or badly’ a person is sleeping, thus freeing up more time for caregivers to focus on more essential jobs. And smart sleeping technology is just the beginning for digitalAngel, with the vision to create a single, unified connected platform for all aspects of smart healthcare.
“Technology is transforming healthcare on a large scale at an extremely fast pace, and our unique vision is to create a single platform to combine multiple IoT and biometric sensors in ways that offer the maximum benefit to carers, patients and their families alike,” says Peter de Lange, managing director at digitalAngel. “Importantly, we are one of the first IoT platform to have fully approved medical device classification. We are building the universal platform for the healthcare industry of the future.”
Smart care products and new hardware innovations in the healthcare sector powered by biosensors, from smart beds through to artificially intelligent MedTech machines are set to proliferate in the coming years, all of which will be able to use digitalAngel as a single, central connected platform.
digitalAngel selected Boomi as it needed a partner that could quickly and seamlessly help bring together IoT sensory data with patient healthcare data. Boomi and Nalta supported the digitalAngel team to build a platform that was flexible, agile and that will allow them to scale rapidly in the future.
“This initial intelligent mattress project is a useful microcosm that helps to demonstrate the huge potential of the digitalAngel platform,” said Ian Currie, head of EMEA at Dell Boomi. “Data-driven healthcare powered by multiple connected biometric sensors is clearly the future of smart healthcare. And we are proud to be digitalAngel’s technology partner helping to create the IoT healthcare platform of the future.”
“We are on the cusp of a number of major developments in smart healthcare products and technologies and digitalAngel will be the glue that holds them all together.”
