Key Technological Themes Driving the Pipeline
The core focus of R&D across the entire pipeline is on these three pillars:
A. Interoperability & Cybersecurity
The standard for all new pumps is bi-directional communication with the Electronic Health Record (EHR). This allows the medication order to be sent directly to the pump, and the pump's infusion data to be sent back to the patient chart, eliminating manual transcription errors. Cybersecurity is now paramount, with major manufacturers investing heavily to protect connected devices from external threats.
B. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Predictive Analytics
AI is moving beyond static safety limits (DERS) to dynamic, predictive safety. Pipeline projects include:
