Strategic collaboration adds another link to
cold chain, helps healthcare providers protect vital and
temperature-sensitive medications and vaccines
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering leader
serving industrial, commercial and consumer industries, and HID
Global®, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, today
announced a strategic collaboration to enhance monitoring
capabilities that help healthcare providers ensure proper
temperature for vaccines, medications and other bio-specimens.
Ensuring the quality and safety of life-saving vaccines,
medications and other healthcare specimens requires strict
temperature monitoring and control to maintain product integrity.
The solution combines Emerson’s expertise in environmental
monitoring and the behind-the-scenes refrigeration network known as
the cold chain with HID Global’s broad spectrum of connected health
systems and Internet of Things solutions, enabled by Bluvision™
(part of HID Global). This collaboration is providing
first-of-its-kind monitoring solutions for the healthcare
industry.
“Helping our customers monitor and improve safety and health is
a cornerstone of our business and mission, and we’re proud to bring
these solutions to the industry,” said John Rhodes, group president
of cold chain for Emerson’s Commercial & Residential Solutions
business. “This strategic partnership allows Emerson to extend our
leading sensing and connected technologies to help healthcare
providers optimize their operations and protect their life-saving
treatments.”
The innovative solution combines automated alerts, audit trails,
condition monitoring and location services for a more advanced
approach to medical-grade temperature monitoring using Internet of
Things technologies. Leveraging HID’s Location and Condition
monitoring network services based on Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE),
the solution delivers enterprise-wide pervasive connectivity,
linking active personnel badges with both temperature and vibration
sensors to allow rapid and cost-effective deployments at scale.
“Combining HID’s BLE network with Emerson’s environmental
monitoring sensors brings together best-in-class products to help
healthcare providers monitor temperature-sensitive assets as part
of an IoT stack that healthcare institutions can easily integrate
into existing workflows,” said Rom Eizenberg, vice president at
Bluvision, part of HID Global. “Hospitals can quickly increase
patient safety, the quality of care and pharmacy workflows while
enabling more advanced capabilities like the construction of Health
System Digital Twins to better predict, model and extract further
efficiencies.”
The collective expertise of HID’s Healthcare IoT practice and
Emerson’s environmental monitoring for the healthcare chain of
custody provides exponential value beyond certified temperature
monitors common for the industry by combining machine, human and
material traceability into comprehensive solutions for a critical
issue.
