Backpack EMR

Backpack EMR was born in 2014 after a trip to Peru gave the company’s founder insight into the medical experience of rural communities. To increase efficiency, cut costs, and streamline operations while improving patient care, Backpack EMR provides mobile clinics with critical technology that’s missing from most standard patient-tracking solutions. The Backpack EMR system seamlessly manages up to 20 devices and transfers up to 60,000 documents within seconds. To date, Backpack EMR has helped provide healthcare to 50,000 patients across 19 countries.

BD

As a leading medical technology company, BD is constantly looking for new ways to improve diagnostics and the delivery of health care. In the case of Type 2 diabetes, a major obstacle to optimized treatment has been the lack of individualized data. It’s too difficult for patients to collect the data, and even when they do, doctors don’t have the time to sort through it all. BD’s innovative solution is a mobile patient app and clinician portal built on Couchbase and Couchbase Mobile. The solution uses connected medical devices and a mobile app to automatically log real-time data on a patient’s insulin and glucose levels, activities, meals, and location. Based on the data, the mobile app provides patients with customized alerts and recommendations. The clinician portal collects all the data and presents it to doctors in an efficient format for making diagnoses and determining the best course of treatment. Couchbase provides the offline capabilities of the patient application and secure synchronization of patient data from the medical IoT devices to the cloud. BD chose Couchbase because Couchbase made it extremely easy to launch the app and portal and to add rules over time as the solution evolved.

Maccabi

Maccabi is the second-largest healthcare maintenance operator (HMO) in Israel, covering over 2.3 million beneficiaries (26% of market share). It operates both as an insurer of its members and as their care provider. It is a community-based healthcare provider that provides most of the care in the community. Maccabi leverages Couchbase for performance at scale, integrated caching, and mobile.

Pfizer

Pfizer is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies with annual revenues over $21 billion and a product portfolio that includes medicines, vaccines, and many of the world's best-known consumer healthcare products. When Pfizer required a flexible, high-performance database to power Newton (their platform for health applications), Couchbase was their top choice. Couchbase was simple to deploy on the AWS cloud, easily supports dozens of applications, and provides the flexible and robust indexing Pfizer needs for Newton’s reporting application. 

SyncThink

To help minimize the long-term damage caused by concussions, SyncThink’s EYE-SYNC platform uses a VR headset and tablet to rapidly assess and monitor brain impairment in athletes, soldiers, and others. The Couchbase Data Platform offered the security necessary for meeting patient privacy regulations as well as offline functionality for supporting speedy assessments in environments with limited bandwidth. Running on the Microsoft Azure cloud environment, the robust solution lets doctors run tests, capture metrics, and then sync data to help patients get the medical attention they need right away.
