BD recently launched the BD Incada™ Connected Care Platform, a new scalable, AI-enabled, cloud-based platform that unifies BD device data into one intelligent ecosystem for the first time.
Built on Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) on-demand cloud computing infrastructure, the BD Incada™ Platform leverages the latest in AI technologies, such as natural language search in analytics, and is scalable to meet the data volumes created by nearly three million smart connected BD devices. With Analytics in the BD Incada™ Platform, data from BD’s leading medication management solutions now flows through a secure, cloud platform and enables:
- Enterprise-wide visibility into medication inventory, which helps clinicians identify patterns and ensure medication availability, reduce medication waste and improve labor efficiency
- The ability to ask natural language questions and receive AI-powered insights and analytics on demand
- User-customizable dashboards that empower frontline clinical teams to act on insights quickly
BD Connected Care President Bilal Muhsin explained the overview.
“Our vision for the BD Incada™ Platform is to go beyond legacy connectivity to create meaningful connections across devices from infusion pumps to patient monitors to pharmacy robotics, and unify data from those solutions into one ecosystem, transforming data into clear, actionable insights for care teams,” he said.
“These launches represent key milestones in BD’s Connected Care strategy, where we are uniquely positioned with our broad portfolio from pharmacy to bedside, to leverage game-changing technology to drive meaningful benefits for our customers.”
The stackable device configuration offers more medication storage capacity to improve medication availability from refrigerated to ambient storage. The BD Pyxis™ Pro Dispensing Solution allows hospitals and health systems to easily adapt to the evolving needs of their patient populations, with features including:
- Expanded capacity in a similar footprint, enabling clinicians to add up to 538 multi-access or 98 secure pockets without taking more space in their medication rooms
- Enhanced security features to improve controlled substance management and medication safety efforts
- More efficient access, with RFID badge scanning, wireless barcode scanners and illuminated bins to streamline medication retrieval
