Vivalink has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch the Vivalink Biometrics Data Platform (VBDP), an advanced system for continuous remote patient monitoring. The collaboration combines Vivalink’s medical-grade sensors and edge computing technology with AWS’s cloud infrastructure, offering healthcare providers scalable, real-time access to patient biometric data.
The VBDP supports integration with over 60 types of medical devices and offers an open architecture that allows interoperability with a wide range of applications, sensors, and AI-based analytics tools. It builds on Vivalink’s earlier efforts to refine digital health infrastructure and is designed for use across diverse clinical settings, including hospital-at-home programs, decentralized clinical trials, ambulatory cardiac monitoring, and chronic disease management.
Key patient vitals—such as ECG, body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and (in some integrations) blood glucose—are captured using Vivalink’s sensor technology. Data types such as ECG can be recorded with millisecond-level resolution. Through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), these sensors communicate with mobile clients that act as an edge computing layer, processing and encrypting data before transmitting it to the AWS cloud.
The platform incorporates AWS analytics services, including Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics, to convert raw physiological data into clinically actionable insights. Providers can access real-time dashboards and receive early warning alerts, improving the ability to respond proactively to changes in patient status.
To ensure continuous data availability, the platform includes automatic data capture and synchronization capabilities, maintaining data integrity even during intermittent connectivity issues. A patient compliance suite further helps care teams manage adherence to prescribed treatment plans.
“By combining our expertise in biometric sensors with AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure, we are setting a new standard for remote patient monitoring and personalized healthcare,” said Tom Wang, Vice President of Engineering at Vivalink.
The platform has been built with strict adherence to data protection standards, including HIPAA, GDPR, and a broader set of global regulatory requirements such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 10993, and ISO 27001. This ensures that the solution is ready for deployment across various jurisdictions and clinical frameworks.
Vivalink supports over 300 healthcare and life sciences partners in more than 51 countries, reflecting its growing global footprint in digital health innovation.
