Waveform Data Transmission Engine
The core data transmission engine built by AirStrip Technologies facilitates the secure transfer of virtual real-time and historical medical waveform data to a smartphone or tablet. The platform provides the unprecedented ability for AirStrip remote patient monitoring solutions to function in virtually any clinical patient setting.
Platform design avoids tech barriers
Patent pending and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared, AirStrip delivers a large quantity of data to mobile devices without compromising overall cell phone performance or battery life. The platform allows for an entire hospital monitoring system to use AirStrip via integration with existing patient monitoring systems, EMR vendors or middleware solutions. AirStrip securely sends data directly to the doctor or nurse's mobile device, while concurrently protecting that information with state-of-the-art security and HIPAA-compliant standards.
AirStrip avoids key barriers facing mobile device platforms, including:
- Intermittent/slow connection speeds over cell-phone networks
- Supporting and scaling across multiple operating systems while concurrently allowing very customizable presentation layers
- Cumbersome steps to establish a secure logon (2-factor authentication)
- Reduced hardware resources (i.e. slow processors, low memory, low storage)
- Limited battery life
- Requirements to work offline/disconnect from the network
- Need for data synchronization/replication
- Lack of remote administration/technical support capabilities
- Difficulty rolling out new updates/fixes
The system design overcomes these obstacles by providing a rich set of synergistic services. Security, scalability, and reusability are central to the design.
Technology beyond the compression algorithm
The AirStrip system core is a highly secure, state-of-the-art and proprietary compression algorithm that allows for a wide variety of applications that utilize and transfer large datasets, enabling AirStrip applications to run efficiently on mobile devices using even the slowest cell phone networks. AirStrip compression technology can be applied to most types of data, including waveforms, textual data, and images.
With the back-end system built from scratch using the Microsoft .NET framework, the AirStrip Technologies platform goes far beyond the compression algorithm. From diagnostic gathering and 'Auto Update' capabilities to custom multi-threaded GDI user interface controls, AirStrip's functionality delivers proven value.
Flexible and service-oriented
Unlike application frameworks that require structural changes and create complex interdependencies, AirStrip is service-oriented. A loose coupling approach yields a highly flexible implementation that can quickly evolve as changes and enhancements are applied over time, freeing up development resources to focus on core functionality features.
