关于客户
Luna Lights 是一家位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的初创公司。该公司开发和销售一种自动照明系统,旨在减少和防止老年人跌倒。该系统使用压力传感器来检测用户何时起床,并自动打开放置在家中的小型无线灯。基于云的软件组件收集并分析有关用户起床频率和持续时间的数据,如果持续时间超过某个阈值,则向护理人员发送警报。Luna Lights 目前将其解决方案出售给芝加哥地区的辅助生活社区,但计划在国内和国际上扩展到老年生活的其他领域,包括专业护理、家庭健康和记忆护理。
挑战
总部位于芝加哥的初创公司 Luna Lights 开发了一种自动照明系统,该系统使用压力传感器和基于云的分析来帮助减少和防止老年人跌倒。然而,该公司面临着降低成本并遵守医疗法规的挑战。他们之前的云服务提供商价格昂贵,并且没有提供满足医疗法规所需的安全控制。
解决方案
Luna Lights 被 IBM 全球创业者计划的云创业项目所接纳,并将其解决方案迁移到 SoftLayer® 平台。这提供了必要的安全控制,以满足医疗保健法规,同时降低成本。SoftLayer 平台在完成和签署业务伙伴协议方面反应迅速,这对于 Luna Lights 遵守法规至关重要。随着业务的发展,SoftLayer 支持团队继续与 Luna Lights 合作。

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.
