Decentralizing healthcare with LTE-M

Challenges

OneCare, Inc. needed a connectivity solution to support its innovative CareWatch, a wearable that sends medical data on remote patients to clinicians and caregivers in near-real time throughout the U.S. and eventually around the world.

Results

The AT&T network gave clinicians and caregivers the ability to monitor the CareWatch wearer’s status and well-being in near-real time. The low-power wide-area network makes possible the device’s five-day battery life and always-on feature.

Solution

The LTE-M low power wide-area network is optimized for compact Internet of Things (IoT) devices like the CareWatch and enables OneCare to transmit its critical health data to the cloud.
