The Smartgateways platform uses a combination of IoT data and analytics to create a holistic view from both a patients and care system perspective in order to help improvements in quality of life and patient management.

Smart medical devices

We provide and support a wide range of smart medical devices. From inhalers capable of assessing user technique and timestamped usage and dose counting to air spirometers.

Environmental Sensors

A variety of sensors is available to monitor environmental variables, including: temperature, humidity, light, CO and CO2, NO3 and particulates.
A range of sensors to monitor motion, noise and intrusion is also available to complement the technical solutions.

Smart cloud, Data Analytics and Apps

We provide a web based data analytics and visualisation platfom to manage all sensor data.
We also develop bespoke Apps to engage with the users. Providing feedback from the data analytics and also to allow remote control of automted devices.

Energy Management

Using technology to improve the energy performance of an organisation. The management of energy is often neglected, even though there is considerable potential to save energy and reduce costs. Rising energy prices, climate change legislation and the need to be environmentally responsible all require effective energy management.

Home Automation

HA helps to promote security, comfort, energy efficiency, and convenience. We support a wide variety of commercial systems and allow the integration of heterogenous devices in the same control network.

Remote Care

Allowing patients with a long-term condition to better monitor their health and potentially improve the management of their clinical condition(s), including a reduced need to visit their GP practice.

CityVerve is Manchester’s smart city demonstrator and it brings together the brightest minds and pioneering uses of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to redefine ‘smart’ in the context of a living, working city. Smartgateways is involved in this project developing technical solutions for the Health & Social Care theme.

Health Theme

Chronic Condition Management Use Case. Respiratory disease is managed primarily in the community, where environmental factors frequently trigger acute episodes, the early stages of which could potentially be sensed and forestalled. More people are admitted to hospital in an emergency for respiratory diseases than anything else (12% of all emergency admissions) and COPD is the fifth biggest killer in the UK. A lack of recognition of symptoms leads to late diagnosis and poor outcomes - one in 8 adults aged over 35 has COPD that has not been diagnosed..

IoT

Multiple inputs will be gathered from sensors including smart inhalers and a range of home, mobile device, wearable, location and, together with patient experience sampling – all intended to provide a broader picture of health status. In a cross-thematic link, information from an IoT network of air quality environment sensors will provide environmental context and information to patients and clinicians.
