four zones · continuous hospital monitoring.
Each critical area of the hospital has different risks. One platform covers all four. Your team operates everything from the web dashboard, the iOS and Android mobile app, or WhatsApp · per role (Blood Bank Chief · Responsable Sanitario · Biomedical Engineering · Medical Director).
blood bank + morgue
Dual temperature sensor (upper + lower zone to detect gradient) in blood-bank refrigerator. Door-open sensor. For morgue: gradual-trend detection before crossing the threshold · legal custody without gaps.
operating rooms + ICU / NICU
Indoor air-quality sensor with continuous T° + RH + CO₂ · NOM-016 compliance. Current meter on the surgical HVAC compressor. Detect poor ventilation before it becomes a nosocomial infection.
hospital pharmacy + ultra-cold
Temperature + door-open sensor + current meter on compressor. For ultra-cold -80 °C: product temperature sensor + 30-second alert on door-open · chemotherapy, biologics, clinical-research samples protected.
generator + medical gases
Current meter on the generator circuit + fuel-level sensor + room temperature. Medical-gas leak detector (O₂, N₂O) in cylinder storage. Leak sensor in the chiller + boiler plant room.
Out of scope: HIS · electronic medical records · billing. AstreaIoT doesn't replace them; if your HIS needs the hospital cold-chain data, we integrate via Custom Integration.
what we protect · what we avoid.
- +More than three hundred thousand pesos saved per blood-bank refrigerator failure · the sensor costs a fraction of the product it protects
- +Automatic NOM-253 / NOM-059 PDF report in two to three minutes for COFEPRIS, JCI or Consejo de Salubridad General audit
- +Surgery on time at 6 AM (operating-room humidity in spec) protects surgical income and avoids rescheduling fasted patients
- +Energy restored in minutes vs half an hour · generator verified by continuous monitoring during CFE outages
- +Standardization across twenty-five to twenty-eight hospitals in a chain with multi-campus dashboard and internal benchmarking
- ✕Multimillion-peso medical-legal liability from a compromised body in custody or patients on mechanical ventilation during a generator-less outage
- ✕Hundreds of thousands of pesos in biologics, insulins, chemotherapy lost to a refrigerator door left ajar after inventory
- ✕Hospital license suspended due to sustained logbook gaps
- ✕Nosocomial infections from undetected poor ICU ventilation
- ✕Period-result invalidation in the blood bank from NOM-253 record gaps
twelve use cases · in a typical mid-size private hospital.
three regulations · one platform covers all three.
For hospitals with JCI certification or international equivalent, we add the additional KPIs (cross-campus standardization, internal benchmarking, ESG/quality report) to the dashboard at no extra charge.
five phases · per hospital.
hospital site survey
2-3 daysTechnical visit · critical-equipment inventory (blood bank, ORs, pharmacy, ultra-cold, generator, medical gases) · NOM-253 + NOM-016 points identification · per-department checklist.
physical install
5-8 daysSensors mounted on blood bank + ORs + pharmacy + ultra-cold + generator + plant room · 32-hour backup gateway · coordination with hospital biomedical engineering.
configuration + calibration
2-3 daysNOM-253 + NOM-016 + NOM-059 thresholds · probes calibrated at accredited lab · JCI report template ready · role-based escalation.
team training
2 daysBlood Bank Chief + Responsable Sanitario + Biomedical Engineering + Quality Director + Medical Director · each role trains on their flow.
30-day support + first audit
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist on standby · first NOM-253 + NOM-016 monthly report delivered · escalation chain tuned to real hospital operation.
For 25-28 hospital chain rollouts: after the first hospital, phases compact to 2-3 weeks per hospital with monthly waves coordinated with medical direction.
seven questions · honest answers.
what if JCI or COFEPRIS asks for data from several years back?
Immutable log with NTP timestamps · minimum 5-year retention by regulation · longer in contract if you need. The report assembles for the period you select · not truncated data.
does it connect to old or already-certified medical equipment?
The sensors are external · they mount on the refrigerator, operating room or panel without modifying medical equipment. Doesn't affect manufacturer certifications or warranties.
who has access to sensitive blood-bank or pharmacy data?
Role-based access: Blood Bank Chief sees only blood bank, Responsable Sanitario sees pharmacy, Medical Director sees the whole hospital. Every action logged · MFA available for admin roles. LFPDPPP compliance.
how long does a NOM-253 blood-bank report take to assemble?
Two to three clicks. The system assembles it automatically with the selected period, Responsable Sanitario signature included, format ready for Consejo de Salubridad or COFEPRIS.
what happens to cold chain during a nighttime CFE outage?
32-hour backup gateway + continuous generator monitoring (does it start, fuel level, current quality). If something fails, immediate alert to Biomedical Engineering.
how are sensors calibrated in blood bank or ultra-cold?
Accredited lab before deployment. Per-equipment vigency tracked in the dashboard. Annual recalibration per NOM-164 · we run the calendar.
does it integrate with the HIS, ERP or the OR system?
Yes · via Custom Integration. Cold-chain data, critical alerts or monthly reports can flow directly to your HIS or central system · without your team exporting CSVs.
