Matrix Connect Accelerates a Cloud Solution for Advanced TeleSensors’ Cardi/o® Touchless Monitor

Advanced Telesensors (ATS), developed the Cardi/o® touchless monitor to remotely track vital signs of at-risk seniors living at home or at assisted living facilities. Its revolutionary no-contact sensors monitor cardiac and respiratory rates, and the device sends alerts at the first signs of distress.

The Need for Affordable, Scalable, Medical Device Cloud Connectivity

Advanced Telesensors (ATS), developed the Cardi/o® touchless monitor to remotely track vital signs of at-risk seniors living at home or at assisted living facilities. Its revolutionary no-contact sensors monitor cardiac and respiratory rates, and the device sends alerts at the first signs of distress. A key challenge was connecting the Cardi/o® device to the cloud in an affordable, scalable, and compliant way. The ATS team first attempted to build a home-grown solution leveraging Amazon Web Services, but quickly found that to be more expensive and complex than anticipated. The system didn’t meet the unique privacy and security requirements for a medical device, and it was missing key functionality such as reporting and access controls. ATS’ CEO, Sajol Ghosal acknowledged that data storage can be a “nightmare” and continuous round the clock updating “is not our skill set.”

Enter the Matrix Connect Cloud

The Matrix Connect Cloud provided the turnkey solution that ATS needed to deliver functionality with minimal configuration. Matrix Connect’s cloud solution is built on decades of expertise in healthcare, medical device technology, and regulatory compliance, allowing Cardi/o® to have a fully operational cloud platform within a matter of weeks.

Delivering cost savings and peace of mind

The results were immediate. Matrix Connect's cost effective, secure, and scalable cloud solution enables ATS to collect, store, share, and analyze clinical and device data. In accelerating the process, Ghoshal estimates “at least 50 percent cost savings” over building its solution from scratch, “enabling us to achieve our objectives faster and more affordably serve at-risk patients — especially during the unprecedented health challenges we currently face.” For Ghoshal, “Matrix Connect allowed us to focus on our core competency — which is cardiac-signal processing.” He added, “we only wish we found Matrix Connect sooner.”
