INDIANAPOLIS‒Healthcare technology company TRIMEDX, an industry-leading provider of clinical asset management solutions for health systems' clinical engineering services, announced a strategic partnership with Medigate―a dedicated medical device security and asset management solution firm―to meet the unique demands of clinical asset management (CAM) and medical device safety and security for healthcare systems. This coincides with TRIMEDX's launch of its new CAM Advanced and CYBER Advanced product offerings, which makes it uniquely able to offer comprehensive, real-time data along with enhanced visibility to guide providers in improving their overall performance―improving financial health, reducing risk and improving patient/clinician satisfaction.

Through this partnership, TRIMEDX and Medigate deliver an integrated solution that merges the TRIMEDX CAM Advanced and CYBER Advanced solutions with Medigate's real-time visibility, utilization data and threat/vulnerability detection. "Leveraging the power of cybersecurity monitoring, the depth and breadth of device-level data, analytics, and the skills and expertise of our field associates and leadership, TRIMEDX delivers a best-in-class portfolio designed to manage the full lifecycle of a hospital or health system's clinical assets," says TRIMEDX CEO Henry Hummel.

According to Deloitte Development LLC in July 2018, 68% of medical devices are projected to be connected devices by the year 2025. With cyberattacks rising exponentially each year, the security of connected medical devices has never been more critical. And since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, TRIMEDX's cybersecurity team has seen the number of cyber threats increase from an average of 19/month to 80+/month during pandemic response efforts.
"As more medical devices are integrated into clinical networks, real-time connected medical device utilization data, in lieu of estimates, or manual collection of data over time, adds greater accuracy to emergency preparedness and capital planning initiatives across hospitals and health systems," says LeAnne Hester, TRIMEDX chief marketing officer.

The Medigate platform discovers and precisely identifies every connected device on a clinical network, automatically doing so, in real-time, through proprietary algorithms specifically built to identify devices and communication protocols. "The foundation of our work together is around leveraging the strengths of both organizations," says Jonathan Langer, CEO and co-founder of Medigate. "The combined value of TRIMEDX's clinical engineering expertise with Medigate's deep technology specific to healthcare cybersecurity will fuel the TRIMEDX operation with even greater actionable and accurate data in providing high-value service and information."
