Overview

BIX recognizes that demographic ageing is one of the most relevant events in the history of mankind and has the mission to promote a healthier population at a global scale. Society should also change population risk behaviors—lack of exercise or physical activity, poor nutrition, tobacco use and abuse of alcohol, while at the same stimulating preventive healthcare support systems. BIX understands such endeavor, especially in Europe and United States, where chronic non-communicable diseases, although preventable, are among the most common and costly of all health problems. BIX supports our worldwide business partners and customers (formal and informal caretakers, families and health professionals and institutions), in increasing efficiency and productivity of healthcare resources made available to all citizens. We introduce in the market a unique real-time home healthcare monitoring and analytics solution, fully based in Microsoft technology, helping our stakeholders to address different conditions, especially chronic diseases, life-style or stressful/fatigue conditions at work, in several remote monitoring scenarios, namely, home-based healthcare with distant patients, athletes in training or military in training. The solution relies in real-time remote monitoring of health conditions, whose data is capture by a mixture of electronic medical devices (sensors), from multiple vendors, carefully selected for each clinical situation, that can be autonomously used by citizens in their homes or workplace. Sensed raw data is robustly, securely and anonymously transmitted to the Azure cloud via a Health IoT sensor gateway where, after being analyzed, can trigger patient alerts which are related to disease prevention and early detection. Both raw data and analyzed data can be consumed by our business partners and customers’ own Health information systems and/or BIX´s own apps and health dashboard, via our Azure cloud services API.
