Internet of Things (IoT) specialist Device Authority has launched a strategic partnership with IT, consulting and business process services company Wipro.
Together, Wipro and Device Authority are delivering a joint solution for a large multinational healthcare company who are launching a remote patient monitoring service. With a variety of different medical devices connecting and transmitting data, an extra layer of security is required. KeyScaler provides a hybrid security model for patient safety which includes real-time device authenticity validation and policy-driven device derived crypto for data privacy and compliance with HIPAA and GDPR. KeyScaler has the ability to combine PKI and device derived crypto using its policy-based technology, to provide the extra device and data trust and verification required by medical use cases.
Healthcare providers and organisations are increasingly offering services to patients outside of hospitals and doctor surgeries. Smart medical devices are increasingly part of how specialised treatment is delivered to patients today. These devices are making procedures more accessible and enabling physicians to better monitor how patients respond. According to Deloitte, the IoMT market is expected to reach $158 billion by 2022.
Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority said: “Wipro’s global presence, deep understanding of Medical/Healthcare market and customers, and strong technical skillsets ensures that our strategic partnership can deliver secure, connected and compliant IoT solutions, as required by the client. We are delighted to be working closely with the Wipro team to help solve security requirements for another medical customer. This provides us with a platform to extend into additional medical opportunities with Wipro, as well as develop the breadth and depth of industries that require secure IoT solutions.”
