Astute Stratum
A secure, dedicated layer for medical devices and AI, added to your existing network and run by Astute. Every device gets its own walled-off lane, with compute at the bedside.

Astute Stratum™ · secure network and on-site AI infrastructure
Healthcare AI is here. The infrastructure is not.
Astute products and services run in parallel with existing infrastructure — nothing installed today is replaced, no operational disruption — adding zero-trust security and AI at the bedside inside the hospital, and remote patient monitoring at home.

The problem
Hospital networks were built for fax, pagers and paper charts.
Today heart monitors, IV pumps, scanners, phones, robots and AI all share that one network. One compromised device can reach every other device on it, and one ransomware attack can take a hospital back to paper.
Every new AI tool and robot adds more devices to the same network. Hospitals know they need AI. Their security teams know they can't safely plug it in.
The platform
Inside the hospital and at home.
Astute Stratum is the secure network and AI infrastructure inside the hospital. Astute Data Guardian™ monitors patients at home. Each works on its own, and together they extend the hospital's reach to the home and back.
Astute Data Guardian
Remote patient monitoring at home. Readings from patients' home medical devices flow straight into the patient record.

What Astute Stratum adds
Three things every hospital needs before AI reaches the bedside.
01 · Security
Stronger cybersecurity
Every device gets its own walled-off lane. Medical devices, cameras and AI move off the shared network, so one compromised device can't reach the rest. If the main network goes down in a ransomware attack, clinical devices keep running on Astute Stratum. Security tools that watch the shared network still leave devices on it; Astute Stratum takes them off it.
02 · Capacity
More bandwidth
Room for imaging AI, robotics and continuous monitoring. Hospital networks were sized for an earlier era. Astute Stratum adds dedicated capacity alongside the existing network, with nothing to rip out.
03 · Compute
Compute at the bedside
AI compute is designed into the network itself. Astute Stratum builds in gateway AI compute and agentic cameras, so the hospital's chosen AI vendors run next to the patient and video and patient data stay inside the building.
Governance
Your network. Your AI vendors. Your terms.
When an AI vendor installs its own cameras and network gear, the hospital's infrastructure belongs to that vendor's contract. At renewal, replacing the vendor means replacing the hardware, and the vendor knows it.
Vendor-installed hardware
The vendor holds the leverage
- Each vendor brings its own cameras, mesh devices and wiring
- The network in the room is governed by the vendor's contract
- Switching vendors means a new install, so renewal prices go up
- Trying a competing product means another hardware project
With Astute Stratum
The hospital holds the leverage
- The hospital owns and governs the network and the devices on it
- AI vendors bring their applications onto Astute Stratum
- Evaluate a vendor for a set trial period, then decide whether to keep it
- Switching vendors is a software decision, not a construction project
Agentic cameras
One agentic camera in the room. Every AI service that needs it.
Fall prevention, virtual nursing, inventory control and environmental monitoring each need a view of the room, and each vendor wants to mount its own camera. No patient room can hold five.
With Astute Stratum there is only one camera in the room, and it feeds every approved AI vendor in parallel. The hospital decides which vendor receives which portion of the image, and can add or remove a vendor without touching the room.
The hospital controls what the camera captures and who sees it, and video stays inside the building.
