How a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway can improve the delivery of home care services

As populations age and declining workforces become more apparent, the close relationship between technology and healthcare has the potential to transform how care is provided. Because this demand is driven by unstoppable factors, it is more important than ever for health and home care systems to be prepared to deal with more patients with complex needs.

The IoT can play a major role in this, as its ability to deliver data in a speedy and accurate manner enables caregivers to do their jobs more efficiently, and people with special care needs continue their life at home. This requires a mature and powerful platform that facilitates the collection of better and more relevant data, which are some of the strengths of the 2^nd generation of Squid.link gateways.

Multiprotocol platform

With the multiprotocol Squid.link gateway at the heart of your home care solution, you get a flexible, open platform that enables you to integrate products across vendors and wireless standards.

The gateways support Zigbee, Wireless M-Bus, Bluetooth 5, WLAN HAN networks, and cellular networks. This enables you to continuously integrate devices and new features into your home care solution. This way, you can better assist your customers in matching the needs of their patients and improve quality of care.

To accommodate for both large and small, and simple and complex solutions the 2^nd generation Squid.link gateways come in two variants, Squid.link 2B and Squid.link 2X. This way, you can choose the gateway that best fits your solution.

Transform your home care solution

The Squid.link 2X’s powerful CPU allows your solution to run highly complex home care applications, including artificial intelligence-based systems such as smart device-based assisted living, fall-detection software, or medication reminders.

This way, caregivers are able to quickly respond to any incidents, without the need of being present at all times, increasing the efficiency of their time and improving patient experience and access to care.

Keep patients safe at all times

When employing the white label gateway in a home care solution, all information is directly sent from the individual devices through a Squid.link gateway to your or a third-party cloud platform. Caregivers can be instantly notified in case of an emergency through devices such as a Panic Button, keep an eye on activity and location of patients via motion sensors, or notify seniors to take medications at a given time using the Smart Siren’s voice prompt function.
