Automating usage tracking of surgical equipment to capture crucial clinician insights
Working together for better results
Vervint’s client is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, an innovator across Medical and Surgical, Neurotechnology, Orthopedics, and Spine products and services.
This medical technology leader relied on hospital surgical teams to manually report how their products were used, leaving room for human error, so Vervint built a cloud-based storage and analysis platform that automates usage tracking and delivers faster, more reliable insight.
Take human error out of the equation
Automatically track and upload product usage data instead of relying on manual reporting from surgical teams.
Build for scale, not just today
Architect a cloud solution in Azure that could expand as usage and data volume grew.
Bring costs down while doing it
Reduce the cost and duplication of testing and maintaining the platform over time.
Getting data right
Vervint designed and built a more efficient cloud optimization model in Azure that could expand and scale for future utilization goals, transitioning data ingestion from a monolith approach running on dedicated virtual machines to microservices in a serverless model. That shift reduced utilization costs and cut down on duplicative testing, since only the affected bits of code need to be retested after an update rather than an entire monolith, reducing monthly consumption spend by thousands of dollars.
A partnership embedded in the work
Vervint worked side by side with the client on project management, process improvement, and strategic alignment, embedding team members on-site once a week to integrate, encourage collaboration, and support strategic project planning across customers and partners. That close collaboration also helped drive internal adoption of the platform, with the client now planning to extend the solution to other business units as an organization-wide big data platform. The result has been a dramatic reduction in technical cost and debt, with a storage and analysis platform built to scale as usage keeps increasing.
With a platform built to scale and a partner embedded in the work, this medical technology leader is positioned to keep turning surgical data into insight that helps them, and the providers who use their products, do even better work.
