Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced that Lantronix, Inc. has selected ADI's iCoupler® digital isolator technology to enable its new family of wireless communication network servers. The EDS-MD family of multiport medical device servers represents the latest in healthcare communications by providing remotely controlled system-level management of multiple medical devices in a compact, secure and lightweight plastic enclosure.
"Lantronix helps physicians, nurses, diagnosticians and hospital administrators develop more effective ways to manage patient care, whether through remote monitoring or data collection," said Daryl Miller, Vice President of Engineering for Lantronix. "Because of the healthcare industry's rigorous safety and reliability standards, we adopted ADI's iCoupler digital isolator technology to help deliver vital data faster, more securely and more efficiently to healthcare professionals so they can make better informed decisions about their patients' care."
According to an ABI Research study, revenue from sales of Wi-Fi-enabled healthcare products worldwide will total close to $5 billion in 2014. This represents an increase of nearly 70 percent over today's figure. With $20 billion allocated in the US stimulus bill for the digitizing of medical records, and an emphasis on a comprehensive reform of the healthcare industry at large, attention is focused as never before on the opportunities for wireless communications in healthcare.
