Design A Secure Network Interface to Transfer Personal Medical Diagnostic Information

Wedge Network（www.wedgenetworks.com）是一家领先的加拿大公司，位于阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里， 专门从事信息技术，特别是安全网络设计。公司有兴趣 将其安全网络扩展到生物医学服务。这一举措背后的理由是，该公司 预计即时护理设备将被广泛采用，因为它可以降低医疗成本。但是患者 希望保护其诊断数据的隐私，不希望任何恶意用户访问或窃取 私人信息。 Wedge Networks Inc.正在积极寻找即时护理设备的开发人员，以测试 诊断设备和威治安全网络他们了解到，阿尔伯塔大学的陈博士 （UofA）正在构建一种基于阻抗的床旁传感器设备。在这方面拟议的活动 参与补助金将集中在陈博士的诊断设备之间的接口设计。 实验室和Wedge网络安全地传输患者数据。双方都充分意识到，如果任何新的IP 该IP由该项目产生，属于Wedge Networks Inc.。这项参与资金将允许UofA学生 获得加拿大信息技术行业所需的基本技能。

Wedge network (www.wedgenetworks.com) is a leading Canadian company located in Calgary, Alberta, specializing in information technology, in particular secure network design. The company is interested in extending its secure network to biomedical services. The rationale behind this initiative is that the company foresees point-of-care devices will be widely adopted because it can reduce healthcare costs. However, patients want to protect the privacy of their diagnostic data, and do not want any malicious users to access or steal private information. Wedge Networks Inc. is actively looking for developers of point-of-care devices to test the interface between the diagnostic device and the Wedge secure network. They learned that Dr. Chen at the University of Alberta (UofA) is building an impedance-based point-of-care sensor device. The proposed activities in this Engagement grant will focus on the design of the interface between the diagnostic device built by Dr. Chen's lab and the Wedge network to securely transfer patients' data. Both parties are fully aware that, if any new IP arises from this project, the IP belongs to Wedge Networks Inc. This Engage funding will allow UofA students to gain essential skills needed by the Canadian information technology industry.
