The COVID-pandemic has had a significant impact on healthcare systems and patients around the world. Not least chronic condition patients, who already face numerous challenges in their daily lives. In 2020, the mSafety team conducted a survey on attitudes towards specialised remote health monitoring devices. Now, a second survey follows up on those results in 2022. What has changed over these two impactful years regarding remote health monitoring and telehealth?

In this interview with Anders Strömberg, mSafety’s Head of Wearable Platform Division, we asked what’s on the horizon for remote monitoring in general, and for mSafety specifically.

In fact, they have created a whole suite of applications based on Sony’s customisable, connected 4G/5G wearable platform, to help keep people safe.

Many manufacturing companies struggle with tracking of goods and assets during air shipments. When waiting for sensitive or time-critical deliveries, they and their customers may be left wondering: ‘Has the plane taken off, or landed yet?’, ‘Was the cargo handled properly during the flight?’, ‘Did temperatures stay within a safe envelope?’. In the case of critical spare parts, the answers to these questions can have a major impact on the receiver’s production line. Find out how Visilion for logistics’ new flight mode feature improves visibility of this elusive link in the transport chain.
