Connection Center
Interoperability in Healthcare
Enhance interoperability in healthcare with the connection center
The Connection Center, which we have developed, is a module for the simple electronic upload and exchange of patient data. It aids in improving interoperability in healthcare.
This solution allows patients to upload their health data directly from their medical devices to a portal, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual data entry.
The Connection Center enables patients to store, read, and manage their health data from over 350 medical devices, such as blood glucose meters, insulin pumps, blood pressure monitors, and body composition scales.
Patients retain control over their own health data. They can use the Connection Center to grant doctors or nurses access to all or part of their data. This ensures that everyone has the necessary information to develop suitable therapies and avoid unnecessary treatments, thus saving costs.
As a result, the Connection Center is an ideal solution for medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, practices, and hospitals to enhance interoperability in medical care. In the medical field, interoperability means avoiding data silos and ensuring timely, secure access, integration, and use of electronically secured health data from various IT systems and medical devices.
Offer for the secure exchange of patient data in the Connection Center
Interested in enabling the secure exchange of patient data from different systems using the Connection Center? No problem!
The Connection Center is offered as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) solution in various medical software applications under their respective brand names. It to optimizes the availability of patient data in healthcare, acting as the key to more efficient healthcare.
Users can upload the data collected from different measuring devices to the system. Healthcare providers, such as doctors or nurses, can then easily access the data through their medical software. This has the advantage of eliminating the need to use multiple software systems to process different patient data.
Instead, health data can be immediately evaluated at a central location, optimizing patient treatment according to their specific needs. This leads to significant improvements in medical care.
Key Considerations for Interoperability in Healthcare?
Due to increasing digitization and networking, interoperability plays a very important role in healthcare. It is therefore worthwhile to understand exactly what is meant by this term and what aspects you need to consider.
Many electronic devices are used in medicine, but now also increasingly medical apps and software, or DiGA (German digital health applications). However, a major challenge is that many of these devices and apps cannot "communicate" with each other: Exchanging data is often difficult or not possible.
This is because every medical device and app has a different interface for data exchange and uses a different standard, which are not compatible and therefore do not "understand" each other.
Technical requirements for interoperable interfaces
There are four levels of interfaces that must be addressed and defined in a technical specification. Once all four levels are considered, communication between various medical devices, apps, and DiGA (digital health applications) will function properly.
Our software developers will be happy to support you in this work and program the interfaces accordingly.
Structural interoperability is intended to enable data exchange between medical devices and apps. That is the basic requirement.
The goal here is to ensure that the information units in the exchanged data stream are correctly recognized.
The goal of semantic operability is to establish a common understanding of the digital information units of the devices and apps involved. Of course, we use recognized standards, such as HL7 or FHIR.
This is about defining common cross-system processes, roles, authorizations and coordinating them across systems.
