Biometric Monitoring
Background
Biometric monitoring transforms the lives of patients with chronic diseases. Gone are the old, single readings of traditional monitors. They’re now replaced with continuous, real-time measurements.
Sensors, located on or under the skin, transmit data wirelessly to smartphones and other IoT devices. Painless and more patient-friendly, biometric monitoring increases the accuracy and utility of biometric readings for more effective disease management.
How Thirdwayv Connects and Secures Biometric Monitors
Thirdwayv brings trusted connectivity to these solutions while maximizing network coverage. We combine fixed and smartphone-based soft gateways with cloud technology and embedded software to create a complete end-to-end “security by design” connectivity solution based on a distributed and guaranteed root of trust.
After a one-time ID / Password configuration via the Thirdwayv-enabled smartphone apps, gateways automatically connect to any authorized monitor. Gateways securely collect the desired data and push it to the cloud.
The result? Simplified biometric monitoring for patients. Now they can gain valuable insights about their condition, while taking the guesswork out of self-managed or remote healthcare.
