Prestigious International Annual Awards Program Recognizes Standout Digital Health & MedTech Products and Companies
LOS ANGELES, May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global health and medical technology market, today announced that Sony Network Communications Europe has been selected as a winner in the 7th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program, with Sony's breakthrough mSafety solution selected out of over 80 nominees to take home the "Best Biometric Sensor Solution" award for 2023.
mSafety is a solution that helps companies tap into the power of digital biomarkers for their services. Using mSafety, it is easy to provide a remote digital health service for a range of different areas, like health and wellness, clinical trials or occupational health. With mSafety, Sony Network Communications Europe proves an understanding of the end user, and helps businesses optimize service features for those end users.
A digital health service on mSafety is unique in several ways. For one, each cellular mSafety wearable is a hub, as there is no need to pair with a secondary device. All the communication, connection to external sensors and user interaction takes place on the mSafety wearable – the user only has to put the wearable on. Another unique feature of a service on mSafety is that the wearable fleet of devices is easy to manage. Each device can be updated using FOTA (firmware-over-the-air), which makes it possible to stay in control remotely. Another key feature of an mSafety service is that companies can easily customize applications as their service grows. This includes designing the app, deciding what data is collected, how often, what is shown on the wearable display, connection to external sensors and more.
mSafety is made possible thanks to powerful technologies from Sony. Each mSafety device is created with world-class connectivity technologies and in-device sensors for health and activity data. IoT connectivity through LTE Cat-M1 allows for seamless data streams and enables reliable, automatic connection – essential to generating meaningful health insights and simplifying the tasks of end users and care providers. Additionally, mSafety is secure-by-design so businesses running a service on mSafety are fully in control of their collected data. The mSafety solution enables end-to-end encryption of application data from the wearable to the customer's backend to ensure that no third party – including Sony – can access, view or adjust collected data.
To help businesses get started, mSafety offers ready-made applications. One example of a ready-made application on mSafety that customers can use out-of-the-box is the Digital Biomarker Solution. It is designed for businesses interested in efficient collection and management of raw health data for clinical research, algorithm development or otherwise. With the Digital Biomarker Solution, multiple data collection projects can be set up in the management interface, researchers can quickly onboard end-users with the wearable device and then start collecting, managing, storing and exporting raw data from a photoplethysmogram (PPG), gyroscope and accelerometer. The solution can also be configured remotely: toggle sensors on and off, or adjust the frequency and range of data collection. The ready-made solution helps researchers benefit from decentralization in their trials and addresses the need for simple tools that improve adherence and retention in clinical research.
"mSafety was designed to empower health experts themselves – in healthcare, workplace health & safety or pharma – who understand their industry challenges but lack the tools to solve them. With mSafety, any business can quickly be on their way to creating a world-class, intuitive, tailor-made remote health service based on connected wearables," said Jessica Tennhammar, Product Manager mSafety at Sony Network Communications Europe.
"We are impressed with mSafety and the ready-made mSafety application called the Digital Biomarker Solution. mSafety from Sony makes it easy for a business to turn their vision of a wearable service into reality. And the Digital Biomarker Solution is no exception. Remote trials and raw health data can unlock new levels of insight for clinical trials, but both strategies have previously been difficult from a technological perspective. Sony tackles these complexities head-on. Congratulations on being our pick for the 'Best Biometric Sensor Solution' award," said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough.
