Good morning everyone.
I am ti and today I will be discussing our research on resilient health
monitoring system, specifically engineered for disaster zone.
The subtitle of my presentation captures our core mission, transforming
proof of concept health monitoring.
Into battle tested system capable of operating when infrastructure fails.
This is crucial work because traditional health monitoring system
are designed for control environment with reliable power and stable network
connectivity conditions that simply doesn't exist in disaster zones.
When earthquake strikes, hurricane hits, or other catastrophe occurs.
Conventional healthcare infrastructure collapses precisely when it's necessary.
Most, our research addresses this challenge by re-imagining health
monitoring technology from the ground up, focusing on resilience, power,
efficiency, and reliable communication.
Even in the most challenging environment, the ultimate challenge.
When designing the health monitoring for Disaster Zone, we face three
critical challenge challenges that form what I call the ultimate challenge.
First, we need to provide life critical monitoring.
This means tracking vital signs, including heart rate, blood, oxygen
level, SPO two body temperature, and respiratory functions parameters.
That can mean the difference between life and death.
Unlike consumer fitness tracking trackers that can tolerate occasional inaccuracy,
our system must maintain clinical accuracy even under extreme conditions.
Second, we operate in hostile environments when traditional
infrastructure has collapsed.
Think about post earthquake scenario.
When no power grid, no internet connectivity, extreme temperature,
dust, and debris, our system must continue functioning reliably
despite these conditions.
Finally, we are targeting 99.99% of time.
This means our system can only afford about five minutes of
downtime per year when lives depend on continuous monitoring.
This level of reliability isn't a luxury, it's an absolute necessary.
The BLE connection, resilience.
To meet these challenges we have developed several innovations in BLE Connection.
Resilience first are dynamic device discovery enables automated
reconnection protocols that continuously adapt to challenging environment.
This means that as healthcare providers move patients or as condition changes, the
system automatically rebuilds connections without requiring manual reconfiguration.
We have implemented multi-part communication that ensures signal
persistence even when primary route fails.
Our field testing shows that approaches has increased connection.
Reliability from 92.4% to 99.7% critical improvement when lives are at stake.
The system includes sophisticated signal degradation handling that
maintains core functionality even at minimal signal strength, even at
signal levels as low as minus 95 DBM.
The system continues transmitting essential vital signs.
Perhaps most importantly, our device from mesh networks where they can rely
on data when direct connection fails.
This creates a self-healing network architecture that can route around
damaged or disconnected nodes, maintaining continuous monitoring
capabilities despite localized failure,
power optimization, breakthrough.
Yes.
Power management represents one of our most significant innovations as
it directly impacts how long these systems can operate in the field.
Our dynamic sensor sampling intelligently varies collection frequency based
on the patient's criticality and remain power reserve and remaining
power reserves for stable patients.
Sampling rates can decrease to conserve power while critical patients are.
Monitoring more frequently.
This approach has demonstrated as a remarkable 62.4% reduction in power
consumption for stable patients while maintaining clinical standards.
We have implemented advanced edge computing algorithm that analyzes
data locally drastically reducing energy intensive transmissions.
This low power processing approach has reduced ideal.
Current consumption, idle current consumption from 4.2 milliamps
to just 0.8 milliamps and 81% improvement that directly translates
to longer operational life.
Our transmission optimization uses strategic compression and
scheduled data delivery protocols to reduce radioactivity cycle by
coordinating transmission windows.
Across multiple devices, we have achieved a 28.3% reduction in
overall power consumption as compared to standard BLE implementation.
Finally, we have integrated innovative energy harvesting technology that captures
kinetic thermal and ambient RF energy.
These micro generators create self-sustained power systems
that can extend operational.
Duration by 18 to 26% under favorable conditions, potentially
providing indefinite operation in some field settings.
OTA update in constrained networks.
Maintaining software currently in a currently is vital for security
and functionality, but traditionally update mechanism, traditional update
mechanism fails in disaster environment.
With limited connectivity, our Delta update approach transmits
only modified components rather than complete firmware images.
This reduces bandwidth demand by over 80% with typical update payload size, dropping
from 48 to 96 KB to just eight to 12 kb. This efficiency is critical when network
resources are severely constrained.
We have developed proprietary extreme compression algorithm that can
shrink update payloads by nearly 83%.
This enables critical patches, even on severely limited network, the
traditional updates would be impossible.
Our partial update recovery use sophisticated checkpointing to
allow interruptions, interrupted updates to resume from break points.
This eliminates redundancy.
Data transfer during network fluctuation, ensuring updates are complete even
with intermittent connectivity.
Finally, our intelligent rollback safety mechanism automatically
reverts to the last stable version if deployment integrity check fields.
This ensures continuous device operation even when updates, encounter problems
with field testing demonstrated in 92.2%.
First attempt update success rate.
Next, let's talk about distributed observability.
Maintaining visibility into the system performance is crucial
in disaster scenarios, but traditional monitoring approach fail
without reliable infrastructure.
Our system provides comprehensive real time virtualization visualization
across all deployed monitoring devices in the disaster zone.
This gives emergency responders and medical personal immediate
insights to, into both system health and patient status.
We have implemented dis distributed tracing capabilities that provide
crucial visibility into patient interaction during network destruction.
This allows us to maintain accountability and data integrity
despite challenging conditions.
Our advanced machine learning algorithms can provide identify potential system
failures and psychological emergency before critical incident records.
Field testing shows our system can detect deterioration of two 13 point five
minutes before conventional indicators, potential life saving, early warning.
Finally, our intelligent bandwidth optimization prioritization,
transmission of life.
Critical metrics when communication infrastructure is severely compromised.
This ensures that most important data gets through even when
bandwidth is extremely limited
error Budgeting for critical care, we have adopted the site reliability
engineering concept of error budgeting to ensure our system maintaining, maintain.
Approximately reliability, appropriate reliability for different functions.
For overall system reliability, we have targeted 99.9%, which means a maximum
downtime of just five minutes per year.
This ensures that healthcare providers can depend on the system being available
when needed for critical alert delivery notification that can be lifesaving.
We aim even higher with 99 point.
Nine, nine, 9% reliability target.
This translates to less than one minute of annual downtime For these critical
functions for non-critical function, we allow slightly more flexible flexibility.
With a 98.5% target, the strategic approach allows more innovation in
secondary features while maintaining the ionic lag reliability for
the most important capability.
This error budgeting approach ensures that we focus our reliable efforts where they
matter most on the functions that directly impact patient safety and outcomes.
Healthcare specific SLIs and SLOs.
We have developed healthcare specific service level indicators
and service level objectives that directly relate to clinical outcomes.
For vital sick sign latency, we target less than one second with a
critical threshold of three seconds.
This ensures that healthcare providers are working with current patient data,
not historical information that might no longer reflect patient's status.
Alert delivery type is even more stringent with a target of
less than 200 milliseconds and a critical threshold of two seconds.
When a patient's condition deteriorates every second counts and rapid alerts
enable fast inter intervention.
Data accuracy targets 99.5% with a critical threshold of 98.5%.
This high standard ensure that critical decisions are based on
trustworthy information, reducing risk, reducing the risk of treatment error.
Finally, battery life prediction accuracy aims for a plus minus 5%
error with a critical threshold of plus minus 10% Accurate battery
prediction prevents unexpected device failure that could leave patient
unmonitored during the critical periods.
These healthcare specific metrics ensures that our system meets
the unique requirement of medical monitoring in disaster in the.
Minutes,
graceful degradation patterns.
When resource become constrained, our system implements sophisticated
graceful degradation patterns to maintain essential functions.
Our priority based functions shedding disabled non-essential
features first, as resource es.
Preserving critical monitoring functions until absolute failure.
This means.
Capabilities, like high resolution wave or historical data access
might be reduced before vital signs.
Monitor is affected.
Data resolution scaling dynamically adjust sampling rates and precise
precision based on patient status.
This mainten maintains higher resolution for abnormal readings, ensures
critical accuracy when it matters most while conserving resources.
On stable patients, our first, our local first processing approach
shifts to autonomous operations when disconnected from central infrastructure.
Local alerting continues without central system ensuring patient
monitoring continues even when the network fails completely.
Finally across, finally, across cross device redundancy allows nearby devices
to assure monitoring reliability.
For failing units, patient data is seamlessly transferred between devices.
Maintaining continuous monitoring, even when individual component fails,
real world impact.
Our system has already demonstrated significant real world impact
across multiple scenarios.
During the Napal earthquake, we successfully monitored over 5,000
patients across 15 market makeshift field.
Hospitals with 99.3% of time during critical disaster response operation.
This provides continuous continuity of care despite complete collapsed
infrastructure, enabling more efficient triage and resource
allocation following Hurricane Maria.
Our system was rapidly deployed when hospital infrastructure
collapsed, providing 17,000 patient hours of uninterrupted vital.
Monitoring in an extreme condition.
This allows healthcare providers to focus on treatment rather than manually
monitoring, significantly improving the efficiency of limited medical personnel
beyond immediate disaster response.
Our technology has transformed healthcare delivery by extending
critical monitoring capabilities to facilitate 200 facilities in.
Underserved regions without reliable power infrastructure to demonstrate how
innovation driven by extreme requirements can broader impact on global healthcare,
across global healthcare access.
Key takeaways to conclude, I want to emphasize that SRE
principles can transform healthcare technology, reliability, and
extreme conditions when human lives.
Lives depends on uptime.
Traditionally reliable standards and approach simply aren't enough.
Our research demonstrate that through focus, innovation, and in connection,
reliance in connection, reliance, power optimization, update mechanism, and g
graceful degradation, we can create health monitoring system that functions reliably
even in the most challenging environment.
The impact extends beyond immediate disaster response, potentially
transforming healthcare delivery in resource constraint environments
worldwide, and establishing new standards for medical device reliability.
