vices with embedded or integrated monitoring
technology, such as x-ray units
and CT scanners. The team focused on
monitoring neonatal phototherapy devices
- blue lamps that treat jaundice;
radiant warmers; oxygen concentrators;
and CPAP devices.
They installed the Hadli Monitoring
System, an active, automated remote
device monitoring system that captures
and shares actionable IoT data enabling
strategic support of medical devices. It
includes:
* The Hadli Device Monitor with the
custom ALTA 5-Amp Current Meter.
* A Wireless Humidity Sensor, based on
the ALTA Wireless Humidity Sensor,
which monitors climate conditions,
including the temperature where medical
devices are used.
* A Cellular Gateway, based on an ALTA
International Cellular Gateway, which
aggregates, protects, and communicates
data sent from the Hadli Device
Monitor and Humidity Sensor.
* A cloud data monitoring dashboard
that uses an API to retrieve data from
iMonnit IoT Monitoring and Sensor
Management Software.
The wireless Hadli Device Monitor can
be easily attached to practically any medical
device and includes a removable
power cord.
Some actual outcomes:
* Within the first week of installation
at a hospital in Malawi, Hadli alerted
a technician that a CPAP was not in
use. The technician confirmed the
machine needed maintenance, and
they fixed it on the spot.
* Hadli sent an alert that oxygen concentrators
were being used more
than expected in a hospital in Kenya.
Administrators found that walled oxygen
was broken and that the concentrators
provided backup at the perfect time.
* Hadli alerted that one phototherapy
unit at a hospital in Tanzania was constantly
in use, and one was not. Medical
personnel reported that the one not
being used was located where phototherapy
is not frequently needed,
so they moved that unit to the room
where the need was greater.
