CMExtender: Remote POC Device Connectivity
CMExtender: a unique connectivity platform, designed to bring point-of-care testing closer to the patient's home. By enabling secure, real-time connectivity between remotely deployed PoCT devices and hospital systems, CMExtender helps healthcare organisations extend diagnostic services beyond the hospital environment without compromising security or reliability.
Used across urgent care, hospital at home teams, GP practices, pharmacies and other community outreach services, CMExtender allows results to flow seamlessly into existing hospital middleware and information systems. With centralised monitoring, remote configuration, firmware update capability, and robust secure connectivity across cellular, private, and HSCN networks, CMExtender provides the infrastructure needed to support modern, scalable community diagnostics.
CMExtender Functions
CMExtender automatically sends the complete point-of-care test results directly from devices to the hospital system, meaning community teams no longer need to bring devices into the hospital for uploading or manually transcribe results.
Additionally, CMExtender also enables the centralising of quality control test results, providing an overview of device performance across remote geographic locations. This supports trend analysis and compliance requirements while reducing the need for site visits.
Security
CMExtender protects patient data with modern security measures, including end-to-end encryption and intelligent message protection, helping ensure that only data from authorised POC devices is transmitted.
"CMExtender reliably keeps our devices connected"
Remote device Management
CMExtender remotely performs POCT devices firmware updates, GPS asset location, views device settings to help keep devices secure and operational without the need for site visits.
"Updating commununity POC devices remotely is a game changer."
Remote Moniting and Configuration
CMExtender enables POCT devices to be remotely configured, monitored, updated, and maintained across multiple locations, reducing the need for site visits, minimising travel, and limiting system downtime. Through central monitoring, teams can track device connectivity, message flow, and transmission status, helping them identify issues quickly and ensure valid point-of-care results are delivered reliably between community and hospital systems.
