In a world where minutes can save lives, real-time patient data from ambulances can be a game-changer. But how do we make that data secure and trustworthy?
In the ENTRUST expert interviews, our dissemination leader, Future Needs, speaks with other project partners to discuss topics like connected medical devices, cybersecurity, and strategies to strengthen privacy across the entire medical ecosystem.
Meet PARTICLE, a tech-driven Portuguese start-up that’s transforming emergency care.
Their mission: turn traditional ambulances into smart, connected vehicles that safely transmit patient data to hospitals in real time, even when moving through areas with poor network coverage.
In this conversation, Egle Joneliunaite from Future Needs is joined by Marco Manso, Director of Innovation at PARTICLE, where they discuss the following:
Why hospitals are hesitant to receive external data and how ENTRUST builds trust.
How smart ambulances transmit vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygenation in real time.
The challenges of secure data exchange across networks, devices, and hospital systems
How PARTICLE is using simulated ambulances and patients to test the ENTRUST Trust Management Framework.
What makes ENTRUST a game-changer for small tech companies and hospitals alike.
With ENTRUST’s cutting-edge trust and security framework, PARTICLE is showing how innovation can overcome organisational reluctance and ensure privacy, safety, and performance in connected medical devices.
