In an effort to help healthcare providers improve security and patient care operations, CommuniTake Technologies introduced IntactMed at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). IntactMed (branded as ICOM) is a purpose-built device connecting remote patient monitoring sensors safely.
Over the past few years, the healthcare industry has faced substantial cybercrime challenges, compelling healthcare providers to protect their operations. Remote patient monitoring providers have experienced huge liabilities and operational uncertainties when bonding their medical sensors kit with regular commercial smartphones. These liabilities and uncertainties include:

The CommuniTake Intact Mobile Security platform unites military-grade security in affordable purpose-built mobile devices, dramatically improves connected devices' security level, and lowers remote healthcare-grade deployments' implementation costs and risks.
Over the past few years, the healthcare industry has faced substantial cybercrime challenges, compelling healthcare providers to protect their operations. Remote patient monitoring providers have experienced huge liabilities and operational uncertainties when bonding their medical sensors kit with regular commercial smartphones. These liabilities and uncertainties include:
- Device and operating system security vulnerabilities
- Obtaining multiple device models for worldwide coverage
- Inability to control device lifecycle and software updates
- Lengthy and cumbersome onboarding process
- Limited freedom in developing dedicated apps
- Expensive mobile device management system add-on
- Enhanced security. OS-fused cyber defense through hardened firmware without the vulnerabilities of commercial operating systems. The custom firmware supports centrally managed defense controls for complete and continuous protection against cyberattacks.
- Efficient onboarding. Fast, effortless delivery and onboarding leveraging required only apps and services. Healthcare-specific features include quickly granting full system permissions to apps, mass APN settings, no notifications configuration, a lock-task mode for accessing allowed-only apps, on-charging activation, and a highly customizable user interface.
- Centralized control. Built-in mobile device management delivers granular visibility and use policies into the IntactMed assets. Device management built into the operating system ensures always-monitored devices.
- Managed lifecycle. Designed with the active participation of tier-1 healthcare providers, IntactMed allows a controlled device lifecycle, including model longevity, no-surprise updates, and global availability with only four SKUs. IntactMed is enterprise-grade and built for large-scale global deployment.
- Personalized experience. IntactMed is an IoT wireless data terminal in the form factor of a smartphone. It supports targeted, effective, distraction-free user experience by the medical use case.
