关于客户
WoundVision is a pioneer in the wound care industry, specializing in advanced wound detection technology. Their solutions allow healthcare providers to predict and track deep tissue injury, pressure ulcers and other wounds by utilizing personalized patient health data and infrared thermal imaging. With more than 60 years of combined experience in building successful healthcare technology businesses, the WoundVision team has quickly assembled an advanced wound care technology solution. They have proven its effectiveness at St. Luke Hospital in Toledo, Ohio and are now executing their go-to-market strategy. As a start-up with limited resources, WoundVision needed a cost-effective and scalable solution to host their technology platform.
挑战
WoundVision, a start-up in the wound care industry, developed advanced wound detection technology that utilizes personalized patient health data and infrared thermal imaging. However, as a start-up with limited resources and software that relies on a constantly updating and growing database, it was not feasible for WoundVision to host its own servers or manage and maintain them. The company's hosted application and database are accessed on hospital computers via standard internet connectivity, meaning a traditional on-premise solution would require each hospital to deploy or assign hardware plus constant updates to the database and application. Therefore, a cloud hosting provider with pay-as-you-grow pricing and scalability was necessary to host the company’s technology platform. A major concern for WoundVision was security. Providing a solution to the healthcare industry requires comprehensive security, strict records and data controls, forcing WoundVision to need to know exactly what is happening to the infrastructure and where the data is at all times.
解决方案
WoundVision initially deployed its software solution on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), but began to experience issues with limited support options. This led the company to evaluate several other cloud providers, ultimately choosing Bluelock, a certified VMware vCloud Datacenter provider of Virtual Datacenters, due to the organization’s market performance and experience, scalability and client support. Bluelock provided the level of scalability, security and value WoundVision requires, while having the experienced personnel to help them execute IT goals. Bluelock Virtual Datacenters (VDC) take minutes to set up, either through the vCloud Director-based self-service interface or with Bluelock’s managed services team. Users can build new virtual machines (VMs) quickly from public and private catalogs of VM templates, or simply upload VMs they already have running in an environment. With Bluelock VDCs, users can easily subtract and add capacity as they go, paying for only what is used. With the ability to upload and download any VMware-compatible workloads, users can easily migrate to and from the Bluelock VDC.

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.
