8. Medical & Healthcare IoT Applications
Use Case: Remote Device Monitoring & Management
Application:
The customer manufactures sophisticated medical equipment that is
deployed internationally in hospitals and clinics. Typical deployment
situations make it difficult to do remote monitoring and maintenance
because of the security requirements on the customer side.
With Eurotech's M2M/IoT building blocks a solution is implemented that
overcomes the typical security and network issues and enables besides
management access, applications for data collection and analytics. One
example is preventive / predictive maintenance for the distributed medical
devices.
Key Success Factors:
Flexible HW with wired, WiFi and cellular connectivity
Internationally deployable (ReliaCELL) solution
GWY easy to use GUI for technician configuration
Everyware Software Framework on the Multi-Service
Gateway simplifies app development on the device
Everyware Cloud as Integration Platform for Data, Device
and App Management including Everyware VPN

Device Operation & Management
• The operation and management of the distributed devices in the field
is one of the major challenges and cost factors of M2M / IoT solutions
or infrastructures
• It is a substantial part of the TCO of an M2M / IoT solution
• The management of configurations and other software components
on the remote device needs to be provided in a way easily to be
integrated into the enterprise IT
• The logging and monitoring of vital data from the distributed systems
for is essential for a secure, healthy and efficient operational
infrastructure
• The life-cycle management of the applications / business logic on the
device is becoming increasingly important where multiple over time
changing services have to be provided by the gateway in the field
• Transparent and secure remote access for troubleshooting and .
………. problem solving

Remote VPN Access
• Secure initiated transparent IP
connection between remote systems
and devices in the field
• Gateways behind firewalls can be
reached
• No IP addressing conflicts prevent or
complicate the establishment of
connections
• Using the established MQTT channel
for initiating the VPN connection to the
remote device (openVPN)
• Requires ESF 2.x / Kura and the
Everyware VPN Client on the device
side
