What is 2net?
The 2net™ Platform* from Qualcomm Life is truly novel, offering a set of wireless health solutions that can elegantly and reliably capture and deliver medical device data to integrated portals or databases from nearly ANY customers’ or collaborators’ wireless medical device for storage in a system designed for security. It’s a whole new way of connecting devices and liberating biometric data so that it becomes ubiquitous across the continuum of care.
The 2net Platform is a cloud-based system designed to be universally-interoperable with different medical devices and applications, enabling end-to-end wireless connectivity while allowing medical device users and their physicians or caregivers to easily access biometric data. With two-way connection capabilities and a broad spectrum of connection options, the 2net Platform will change the way you do business.
The 2net Platform supports SSL secure communication of data and is FDA listed as a Class I Medical Device Data System (MDDS). As an MDDS, it is designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with a quality system compliant with ISO13485 standards, meaning it aligns with the quality requirements of U.S. and international regulatory agencies in the healthcare industry.
There are four gateways onto the 2net Platform’s data center:
- A standalone FDA-listed external device -- the 2net Hub*
- Medical devices with an embedded cellular component
- Medical data sent from mobile phones
- Service platform integration between the medical grade 2net Platform to customer and collaborator service platforms using application programming interfaces (APIs)
We designed the cloud-based 2net Platform to provide a high degree of security and reliability to seamlessly store and transfer data once it has been acquired from the medical device so it can be shared with the appropriate audiences, which could include designated health care service companies, providers, payors, pharmaceutical companies, and application and device collaborators. The biometric data is stored in the 2net Platform’s Payment Card Industry, or PCI-compliant, data center. The data is encrypted in motion and at rest, and transmitted to the manufacturers’ interface of choice for the end-user.
The 2net Platform enables a single place where near real-time data across a wide range of device types, makes and use cases, can be accessed, unlocking and potentially improving health care delivery.
The 2net Hub*
The 2net Hub, one of the four gateways used to access the 2net Platform’s data center, delivers a new dimension of short-range radio flexibility, security and seamless data transfer, while serving as the information highway for machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity for medical devices into and out of the home. The 2net Hub is an FDA-listed, compact “plug-and-play” gateway that supports Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, and ANT+ local area radio protocols.
The 2net Hub is Continua-certified, and supports 3G and 2G cellular communications. The 2net Hub supports SLL secure communication of data and is FDA-listed as a Medical Device Data System (MDDS). As an MDDS device, it is designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with a quality system compliant with ISO13485 standards, meaning it aligns with the quality requirements of U.S. and international regulatory agencies in the healthcare industry.
* Both the 2net Platform and the 2net Hub are separately FDA listed as Class I MDDS (Medical Device and Data Systems).
