Reducing CHF Readmissions for a Major Hospital Network
Industry: Hospital & Healthcare Systems
Client Overview
A leading multi-state hospital system was struggling with high 30-day readmission rates for patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), leading to significant financial penalties and suboptimal patient outcomes. They needed a way to monitor these high-risk patients after discharge to intervene before their condition worsened.
The Problem
Post-discharge, there was a critical lack of visibility into the daily health status of CHF patients. Minor changes in weight, blood pressure, or symptoms often went unnoticed until they escalated into a full-blown emergency requiring re-hospitalization.
Key Challenges
- Integrating patient-generated data into the existing Epic EMR system.
- Ensuring high adoption rates among an elderly patient population.
- Developing clinical workflows to manage and respond to incoming data alerts.
- Maintaining strict HIPAA compliance across the entire data lifecycle.
"The RPM platform Errna built has been a game-changer. Our care managers can now identify at-risk patients days earlier than before. It's not just about saving money; it's about saving lives."
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive, user-friendly Remote Patient Monitoring platform that included:
- A mobile app for patients with simple daily check-ins and educational content.
- Integration with Bluetooth-enabled weight scales and blood pressure cuffs provided to patients.
- A secure, cloud-based platform that analyzed incoming data and triggered alerts based on customized clinical parameters.
- A clinician dashboard integrated directly into their Epic EMR, providing seamless access to RPM data within existing workflows.

Accelerating FDA Clearance for a Wearable ECG Monitor
Industry: Medical Device Manufacturing
Client Overview
A venture-backed startup developed a groundbreaking wearable patch for continuous ECG monitoring. While their hardware was innovative, they lacked the in-house expertise to build the secure, scalable, and compliant cloud backend required for clinical trials and FDA submission.
The Problem
The client needed a robust platform to ingest, store, and analyze massive streams of ECG data from thousands of trial participants. The platform had to be impeccably secure to protect patient data and provide reliable analytics for their FDA 510(k) submission.
Key Challenges
- Building a HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure from scratch on a tight timeline.
- Processing and storing terabytes of high-frequency waveform data efficiently.
- Developing a cardiologist-facing dashboard for reviewing and annotating ECG strips.
- Ensuring the entire system was documented and validated to meet FDA standards.
"Errna was more than a vendor; they were our technology partner. Their expertise in both cloud architecture and healthcare compliance was instrumental in our successful FDA submission. We couldn't have done it without them."
Our Solution
We engineered a complete backend solution on AWS, leveraging their HIPAA-eligible services:
- A secure data ingestion pipeline using AWS IoT Core to handle device connectivity.
- Cost-effective data storage strategy using Amazon S3 and Glacier for long-term retention.
- A web-based portal for cardiologists with tools for data visualization, analysis, and reporting.
- Comprehensive documentation package for the software components of their FDA submission.

Enhancing Resident Safety in Assisted Living Facilities
Industry: Senior Care & Assisted Living
Client Overview
A national chain of assisted living facilities wanted to improve resident safety and provide peace of mind to families. Their primary concern was the risk of falls, especially in private rooms or during the night when staffing levels were lower.
The Problem
Traditional call buttons are reactive; they only work if a resident can press them after a fall. The client needed a proactive system that could automatically detect a fall and instantly alert staff, reducing response times and the severity of fall-related injuries.
Key Challenges
- Finding a solution that respected resident privacy (no cameras).
- Minimizing false alarms to prevent alarm fatigue among staff.
- Integrating alerts into the existing mobile communication devices used by caregivers.
- Ensuring the system was reliable and easy for a non-technical staff to manage.
"The fall detection system has transformed our ability to respond to emergencies. Staff are alerted instantly, and families feel more secure knowing their loved ones are protected by this technology. It's the new standard of care."
Our Solution
We designed and implemented a non-intrusive, IoT-based safety monitoring system:
- Deployed discreet, wall-mounted radar sensors in resident rooms to detect fall-like movements.
- Developed an AI algorithm to analyze sensor data and differentiate between actual falls and other movements, significantly reducing false positives.
- Created a centralized alert system that instantly pushed notifications—including the resident's name and room number—to caregivers' mobile devices.
- Built a management dashboard for administrators to track response times and analyze incident data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers. Here are some common inquiries about implementing IoT in healthcare.
Security is our top priority. We employ a multi-layered security strategy that includes:
- End-to-End Encryption: Data is encrypted in transit from the device to the cloud and at rest in the database.
- HIPAA-Compliant Infrastructure: We build on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, utilizing their HIPAA-eligible services and signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
- Access Control: We implement strict role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure only authorized personnel can view patient data.
- Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify and mitigate potential threats.
Absolutely. Seamless integration is a core part of our offering. We have extensive experience working with major EMR/EHR vendors like Epic, Cerner, and Allscripts. We use industry-standard interoperability protocols such as HL7 (Health Level Seven) and FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) to ensure that data from IoT devices flows securely and accurately into your existing clinical workflows, enriching the patient record without creating data silos.
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the project. However, we can often deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a specific use case, such as a basic remote patient monitoring program, within 4 to 6 months. A more comprehensive, enterprise-wide solution with complex integrations may take 9 to 12 months. Our agile approach allows us to deliver value incrementally, so you can start seeing benefits early in the development process.
We build robust device management capabilities into our platforms. This includes secure device onboarding (provisioning), over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, remote device configuration, and monitoring device health and connectivity status. For patient-facing solutions, we design a simple, user-friendly process for patients to pair and activate their devices, often with support from our helpdesk or your clinical staff.
Our partnership extends well beyond the initial launch. We offer flexible, multi-tiered support and maintenance plans to fit your needs. Our services include 24/7 technical support, proactive infrastructure monitoring, security patching and updates, performance optimization, and ongoing feature enhancements. We ensure your IoT ecosystem remains secure, reliable, and continues to evolve with your organization's needs.
