Technology
Software-first, certified at the edge
NovaMed is software-first: certified hardware at the edge, intelligence in a Canadian-resident platform, and interoperability that meets clinics where they already work.
Device layer — OEM-agnostic by design
A device-abstraction layer lets NovaHub work with certified OEM peripherals (blood pressure, SpO₂, weight) without locking clinics to one vendor. Devices are sourced from certified suppliers (CSA / ETL / UL / ISED) and bench-validated for reliability.
Patient app — bilingual, low-bandwidth, efficient
A bilingual (EN/FR) patient app with guided readings and adherence prompts, designed for low-bandwidth conditions. Edge analytics keep on-device processing efficient and reduce data sent to the cloud.
NovaHub platform — explainable and auditable
- Explainable, monitored rules — every alert traces to a threshold a clinician can read.
- Escalation trees and role-based clinician dashboards with full audit trails.
- Consent and privacy infrastructure built into the workflow.
Interoperability
FHIR/HL7 mappings integrate with clinic EMRs so monitoring data lands inside existing systems rather than a separate silo.
Security & data residency
- Canadian data residency and encrypted data in transit and at rest.
- Secure boot and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates; monitored BLE reliability.
- Least-privilege access, logging, and privacy-by-design architecture.
Validation-first
The platform advances through physician-overseen clinic pilots under research-ethics approval, generating the evidence that supports each stage of readiness before any scale.
