关于客户
Loop Medical is a Switzerland-based medical R&D firm focused on developing a new minimally invasive device to extract blood from capillaries just below the skin, as opposed to conventional methods that collect blood from the vein. The company aims to simplify blood diagnostic testing at healthcare facilities around the world, particularly in developing nations where medical resources and standards are subpar. Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Loop Medical is also focusing on reducing the spread of infectious diseases through used contaminated needles. The company was founded by Arthur Queval in 2016 and is currently testing its prototype device, with plans to go into clinical trials in early 2021 and a product launch in 2023 for the U.S. market.
挑战
To launch the development of a new medical device, Loop Medical founder Arthur Queval was searching for a CAD and data management platform that would run on a Mac without additional virtualization software and would also streamline collaboration between his engineering teams in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Using a cloud-native product development platform allowed his distributed teams to collaborate in real time and accelerate the design process.
解决方案
Loop Medical adopted Onshape, a cloud-native CAD platform, to streamline collaboration between its engineering teams in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Onshape's platform allowed the teams to collaborate in real time, significantly accelerating the design process. The platform's sharing feature enabled secure and instant collaboration with colleagues, vendors, customers, or partners by granting them editing, commenting, or view-only access rights to a CAD model. Additionally, Onshape's regular updates, released every three weeks, include new release management functionality, collaboration tool enhancements, CAD features, improvements to user interface and performance, bug fixes, and updates to Onshape Drawings and FeatureScript. These updates are delivered in the cloud, ensuring zero downtime and no unexpected broken designs.

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.
