Is the eDoctor and eBeat devices meant to be used 24/7? Is it comfortable?
This devices have been proven to be very comfortable with patients integrating it into all aspects of life, including sleep. How long/often the device is used will vary depending on the use case. However, the device has been designed to be worn comfortably for any activity including sleep.
How often does the device communicate with the gateway?
This is configurable. By default, the device reports to the gateway every 5 minutes. Within the application, an administrator can adjust the reporting interval from as frequently as once per minute up to every 60 minutes, depending on monitoring requirements.
It should be noted that the 4+ month battery life is based on the default 5-minute reporting interval, so increasing the reporting frequency will impact battery life.
What are the main benefits of LoRaWAN coverage eDoctor uses compared to Wi-Fi and BLE the most of the competitors propose?
The main differentiator is battery life. With a 4+ month battery life, one doesn’t need to rely on the user or caregiver to constantly keep the battery charged. A device with a dead battery is of no use. This takes the operational burden off the user/caregiver and allows for continuous data collection. Additionally, LoRaWAN® coverage will not require any device to be connected to gather/track the data from the device (like smartphones, tablets, computers, etc). This can be of great importance for senior people and medical staff to reduce the burden and the time spent on data reading in hospital settings. The long-range capabilities of LoRaWAN® vs. Wi-Fi are also a significant benefit, meaning that less networking infrastructure is needed to cover a similar area. When being compared to gold-standard medical devices (ie. Holter monitors) the eDoctor solution will come in at a much lower price point.
