BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

-- The new offering from the medical device cybersecurity leader aims to

increase medical device visibility, streamline hospital workflows, and reduce

costs

Medigate (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3330716-1&h=3097977894&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.medigate.io%2F&a=Medigate), creator of

the industry's first and leading healthcare-specific platform to

orchestrate and integrate connected device data to improve network and IoT

security, announced today the launch of its Clinical Device Efficiency (CDE)

offering.

Medigate's CDE module will help Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) manage

their fleet inventory by locating and assessing all connected devices, thereby

providing real-time actionable data. Most HDO clinical device inventories are

administered through a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The

Medigate CDE module eliminates manual processes by feeding over 100 unique

device details to the CMMS, enabling HDOs access to a single source of truth

for data on all clinical devices.

In addition to delivering insights on where devices are, whether they are

functioning correctly and how often they are being used, Medigate's CDE module

also provides HDOs with benchmarked and actionable recommendations so they can

optimize and right-size their fleet of devices. This view allows healthcare

systems to take a demand-driven approach to allocation, moving devices from

under-utilized locations to areas where they are needed more.

"Since our founding in 2017, we have continuously innovated ways to use

connected device data to advance healthcare device security," said Jonathan

Langer, Medigate Co-Founder and CEO. "CDE's launch brings the value of

Medigate's rich device data to a new set of stakeholders, helping HDOs realize

significant operational improvements and potentially saving them millions of

dollars."

On average, a connected medical device is idle 58%(1) of the time and frontline

care teams spend 10-15%(1) of their time looking for devices. CDE addresses

these challenges by:

    -- Pinpointing the exact location of devices, thus reducing idle time,

       and allowing an HDO to dynamically move devices from under-utilized

       locations to areas where they are in demand.

    -- Facilitating device maintenance to be conducted on an alternative

       schedule based on usage instead of in bulk on a calendar basis.

    -- Identifying missing devices so they can be returned into inventory,

       rather than assumed lost and therefore replaced.

"The value of reliable device utilization intelligence crosses all departmental

boundaries. From IT to security, procurement to supply chain management, having

a comprehensive, real-time view of all device data will be critical to the

success of HDOs in the future," said Robert Swaskoski, CISO of Heritage Valley

Health System, a Medigate customer. "The launch of CDE underscores Medigate's

leadership in the healthcare device management space and their continued

commitment to innovation that will help HDOs meet the evolving needs of patient

care."
