RESEARCH THERAPY
DESIGNING HYPER-AWARE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
PRESENTED BY
At its core , the Internet of Things ( IoT ) is an amalgamation of machines in the physical world , logical representations of physical phenomena ( such as temperature , flow , speed ) acted upon by those machines , contextual data ( identity , location , applications in use ) generated by underlying network infrastructure , and applications that analyse , monitor , and act upon those data .
Supplementing IoT data with contextual information enables applications to become cognizant – or “ hyper-aware ” – of , and responsive to , the occupants and their environment , service needs , security , and safety .
The richer the set of data and context , the more adaptive the applications can become with the ultimate goal of driving positive patient outcomes . In healthcare facilities , machines and applications are focused on optimising human activity monitoring , organisational redesign , augmented reality , human productivity , and health and safety .
Machines , applications , and interfaces are typically tailored to each IoT vertical application . However , the underlying network infrastructure can be designed more extensibly , using a common core set of services that can be applied across virtually any use case or vertical application .
Aruba ’ s Edge Service Platform ( ESP ) is the first extensible infrastructure to combine information technology ( IT ), operational technology ( OT ), and IoT into a single framework with open interfaces and APIs .
Third-party devices , applications , and services can use the open interfaces and APIs to plug vertical-specific systems into ESP without having to change the underlying infrastructure . This allows ESP customers to easily support changing IT , IoT , and OT requirements by plugging new systems into their existing Aruba infrastructure – no rip-and-replace needed .
ESP is built on three foundational services , and APis provide access to technology partner devices and applications that need to access any or all of them :
» Unified infrastructure that encompasses wired and wireless networks , OT / loT interfaces , wide area networks , and cellular networks .
» Zero trust security framework in which no user or device is granted entry or on-going access until proven trustworthy .
» Artificial Intelligence for operations ( AlOps ) in which multiple Al and big data services are leveraged to continuously detect , monitor , isolate , and remediate issues impacting RUN excellence .
Aruba has built a broad ecosystem of healthcare technology partners whose products and services interface with ESP to address patient monitoring , healthcare operations , and facilities applications . �
