BLE WiFi Cellular Gateway, How it Works in Medical Term?
Due to its low cost, less power consumption and compact design, BLE-enabled devices is ideal for medical applications. In medical term, Bluetooth plays a significant role in enriching digital health scenarios, expanding the range of remote health monitoring, and enhancing patient comfort.
For Remote Health Monitoring
Even though the pandemic is over, it helped telehealth become more popular. Doctors frequently instruct their patients to perform “remote health monitoring” at home. How can dependable vital sign data transmission and collecting be achieved? Take Blood Pressure Monitoring as an example, although the BP monitor plus mobile app is well-liked in the market, this mode may necessitate the killing of background APPs in order to conserve energy, which may interrupt the data transmission.
A BLE WiFi gateway may aid in the steady and continuous transmission of vital sign data, give clinicians more precise illness information, and manage Bluetooth wearable devices from many manufacturers simultaneously. This is the key to converting routine hospital-initiated treatment into home health monitoring is this.
For Pre-hospital Medical Support
An AED is an on-site first aid tool that can instantly evaluate a patient’s cardiac rhythm, shock them with electricity, and perform defibrillation to stop any irregular or uncoordinated electrical activity in their heart.
The BLE-enabled defibrillator may transmit real-time patient status to the Bluetooth Cellular gateway within the ambulance while paramedics treat a patient when traveling to the hospital, and the gateway can send data to the hospital cloud platforms. As a result, hospitals will be more ready to receive patients who come at the emergency room.
For Blood Mobile Temperature Monitoring
Since BLE provides consistent wireless communication, uses the least amount of power, and supports placement of blood bags within the vehicle, it is a good choice for mobile blood donation vehicles. Because blood must be maintained within a certain temperature range, BLE humidity sensors may be used to monitor blood temperature in real-time.
The data is then sent to a Bluetooth gateway. A customized software may determine how much time the blood has left in storage based on the recorded temperatures kept in the sensor.

FAQs of DSGW-340 BLE to LTE/BLE to WiFi Gateway
What is the benefits of using EFR32BG24 Bluetooth Wireless SoC?
BLE SoC empowers gateways with Bluetooth capability. As you can see from the Silicon Labs’ introduction, EFR32BG24 uses using Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity and is intended for portable medical products. It features high performance 2.4 GHz RF, low current consumption, an AI/ML hardware accelerator and Secure Vault™, easily for IoT device makers to create the smart, robust, and energy-efficient products that are secure from remote and local cyber-attacks. For more info, you can explore here.
Why use Bluetooth technology in DSGW-340? Is there another alternatives?
Both Bluetooth and Zigbee are good options for medical wearables. Bluetooth is widely used in consumer electronics, like mobile phones, and has low-cost advantages. It is the priority choice for medical devices to connect with users’ mpbile phones. Zigbee does not enjoy such high level of interoperability, although it is widely used in smart home gadgets. On the other hands, compared with Zigbee, Bluetooth has faster transmission speed in small data packet. Get to know more IoT remote patient monitoring solutions here.
Why use gateway in remote health monitoring?
Bluetooth gateway is used for continuously uninterrupted data transmission, which is hard to be done by a single medical wearables, because these devices usually use Bluetooth or Zigbee, failing to generate its IP (Internet Protocol) address, which means no direct access to the Internet. Bluetooth gateway help build a bridge for medical wearables, so their sensed data can be send to cloud platforms of healthcare providers for further analysis and diagnosis.

Can DSGW-340 BLE LTE WiFi gateway transfer data bidirectionally?
The DSGW-340 Bluetooth WiFi LTE gateway has two modes: unidirectional and bidirectional. The undirectional Bluetooth gateway captures the broadcasting data of Bluetooth medical device and uploads it to the cloud server through WiFi or LTE 4G. While bidirectional Bluetooth gateways can connect Bluetooth devices such as blood pressure monitors and thermometers (up to 32 at the same time). In this situation, the Bluetooth gateway and Bluetooth medical devices are in connection mode. The vital sign data can be transmitted to the cloud platform via the gateway, and the cloud platform can also send commands to various medical sensing devices via the gateway to make operations such as turning them on and off.
