The era of recording and updating patients’ reports has gone by. The shift from paper to digital is rapidly transforming the global medical industry, and healthcare is on the cusp of change and growth as a result of the adoption of Internet of things (IoT). According to Market Research, an online research company, the IoT for healthcare is poised to hit $117 billion by 2020. Leveraging a high speed cellular connectivity, and implementing wireless IoT devices like sensors, wearable, and health apps, enhance the access of healthcare information, improve distribution of routine, and emergency health services and provide well-informed diagnostics. Acknowledging the significance of the use of cellular connectivity in the healthcare sector, Aeris is strategically using it to deliver IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions. The offering of the firm enables clients to remotely monitor patients, transfer data, perform data analytics and also keep a check on the content and metadata being sent from mobile devices. Moreover, the firm’s dedicated mobile core network for Machine to Machine (M2M) traffic enables to provide data security so that devices are not hacked, are not taken over, or misused in any ways. “We work with healthcare application providers to assist them in transporting their data,” states Syed Zaeem Hosain, CTO, Aeris.

The company’s Application Enablement Platform (AEP), helps in the transportation of data from multifarious healthcare devices through a cellular network and enables data storage, analytics and display of that information, in either a summarized form, or in a web page or delivered through alerts and messages to the right people. “We are not working on the devices, but on the transport and de-livery of data from these devices, the analytics, and the predictions that we derive from monitoring the patterns,” says Hosain.
