Pryv, a successful Swiss start-up and a long-time partner of Swiss Digital Health, has recently been chosen by Kinntek, the leading provider of digital physiotherapy solutions, to extend its breakthrough hand rehabilitation interactive platform with advanced privacy-preserving capability.
Kinntek designs and markets a range of smart patient-centric engineering solutions for rehabilitation of individuals suffering from disorders affecting the mobility of their musculoskeletal system. The Swiss HealthTech pioneer will use Pryv.io to bring its solution to market in an age of GDPR. Patients and regulatory bodies now ask for more transparent, trustworthy management of personal data alongside therapeutic treatments and the integration of Pryv’s privacy software is designed to meet these increasing demands.
“Pryv helped us stay focused on the innovation course designing clinical solutions with the highest standards of therapeutic efficacy and patient experience” says Elisa Munafò Pannatier, CEO at Kinntek. “We capitalized on their privacy management know-how in MedTech and embedded a rigorous GDPR / Swiss LPD-proof data protection capability in less than 5 working days.”
Healthcare applications and connected medical devices are flourishing as they improve doctor – patient communication by enabling real-time analysis, remote patient monitoring and effective therapeutic interaction. But along the many benefits of the technological advancements, of digitisation and tele-health technology comes an expanded risk on data privacy which can be mitigated with a privacy-aware data management platform that can ensure personal data at rest, in use and in motion is duly protected. And that is the main mission of Pryv who is thus very pleased with the successful implementation of its data management solution helping another HealthTech pioneer.
