Waveform Data Transmission Engine
AirStrip Technologies core data transmission engine facilitates the secure transfer of virtual real-time and historical medical waveform data to a smart phone, laptop or desktop. AirStrip Technologies is the only known company to offer this platform for commercial use in healthcare, providing the ability to construct a secure, hospital-wide remote patient monitoring system with AirStrip as the backbone.
Platform design alleviates barriers
The AirStrip system is patent pending and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared, delivering a large quantity of data to mobile devices without compromising overall cell phone performance or battery life. The platform works through integration with existing patient monitoring systems, pulling that data and securely sending it directly to the doctor or nurse’s mobile device client– while concurrently protecting that information with the strictest security solutions and HIPAA compliance standards.
The AirStrip technology alleviates the key barriers facing mobile device platforms, including:
- Intermittent/slow connection speeds over cell-phone networks
- Cumbersome logon 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/disconnected from the network
- Need for data synchronization/replication
- Lack of remote administration/technical support capabilities
- Difficulty rolling out new updates/fixes
The AirStrip Technology system design overcomes these obstacles by providing a rich set of synergistic services. Security, scalability, and reusability are central to the design.
Technology beyond compression algorithms
At the core of the AirStrip system is a highly secure, state-of-the-art compression algorithm that opens the door for a wide variety of applications that utilize and transfer large datasets. These proprietary algorithms enable AirStrip’s applications to run efficiently on a variety of mobile devices over even the slowest cell phone networks. Furthermore, 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 compression algorithms. From diagnostic gathering and “Auto Update” capabilities to custom multi-threaded GDI user interface controls, AirStrip's proven functionality delivers real value.
A flexible, service-oriented approach
Unlike typical 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. This frees up development time, energy, and resources to keep focus on the core functionality features of the application.
