With this in mind, Telemonitoring of vital parameters is simply another facet of the broader Machine-to-Machine communication enabling autonomous data exchange between machines.

Driven by an aging society, the demand for telemonitoring solutions will increase, thus raising the need for interoperability between system components. Solutions available on the market today are highly proprietary and typically include sensors, aggregration managers and service centers with proprietary or pre-standardized communication protocols on system interfaces.

In the future, more complex, modular solutions will be developed, therefore increasing the need to integrate multi-vendor systems, using standardized interfaces and protocols.

Since communication security and reliability are key factors in telemedical applications, the effects of mobile communication, such as handover effects, signaling load, and others, must be addressed. Therefore, there is a need to understand their impact and to efficiently deal with these effects.

Nash Technologies can help you address the challenging task of ensuring reliability of the telemonitoring solution and improving the user experience. Specifically, Nash Technologies provides the following services to the telemonitoring market:

• Requirements Engineering and architectural design of distributed highly reliable mHealth Systems
• Concept engineering and software development for addressing
  • Aggregation Manager framework on various mobile platforms, e.g. Android, iOS, Windows Mobile
  • Limited battery capacity in mobile components
  • Industry protocol implementations, e.g. IEEE 11073
  • Data integrity and security
• System integration on
  • Component and
  • Solution levels
• Load and robustness testing on component and solution level e.g. addressing
  • Wireless WAN communication impacting sensor measurements
  • Time variant channel conditions
  • Frequent cell and technology changes
• Multi-vendor interoperability testing comprising
  • Flexible test tools
  • Protocol level testing
  • Conformance and compliance testing
  • E2E system quality verification

Prior to system integration, sensors, aggregation managers and telemedicine service centers can be tested with Nash Technologies´own testing tool: the Nash Protocol Tester (NPT).

Testing of entire telemonitoring solutions can be performed in the test labs operated by Nash Technologies, as well as in Nash Technologies´live mobile network located north of Nuremberg.
