Qualcomm has bought medical equipment integrator Capsule Technologie, with an eye on medical applications in the internet of things (IoT).

“Qualcomm is focused on strengthening its position in specific Internet of Everything verticals, like healthcare,” says Qualcomm president Derek Aberle. “The acquisition of Capsule expands the breadth of our healthcare platform, enabling us to provide connectivity solutions for the entire care continuum and create one of the world’s largest connected health ecosystems. This will be an important step in advancing the Internet of Medical Things.”

Capsule’s medical device integration and clinical data management platform enables data collection, EMR and health IT system integration and monitoring. According to the company its networking also delivers clinical data to various in-hospital decision support systems, alarm and notification systems and asset management tools, which help to reduce latency and transcription errors to ensure timely, informed care.

“As health care continues to move into the home and ambulatory settings and outside of traditional care areas such as the hospital, the convergence of medical device data from wherever the patient is located is critically important,” says Gene Cattarina, CEO of Capsule.
