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.
Explore Astute Stratum →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.
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.
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.
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.
Explore Astute Stratum →Remote patient monitoring at home. Readings from patients' home medical devices flow straight into the patient record.
Explore Astute Data Guardian →The Astute CTR-03 hub, Astute SNAP+AI Hub and Astute SNAP+AI Node connect devices in the room, the clinic and the home. Designed in-house and assembled in the USA.
Explore OEM hardware →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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Astute Stratum adds a secure, dedicated layer to the hospital's existing network for medical devices, cameras, robots and AI, with compute at the point of care. Astute installs it and runs it, so the hospital's IT team takes on nothing new to manage.
Clinical devices stay connected when the main network is taken offline.
Only one camera in the room, built into Astute Stratum and serving every approved AI vendor. The hospital decides which vendor sees which portion of the image.
Multiple AI vendors run their own applications on hospital-owned infrastructure, each kept separate from the others.
Delivery, logistics and telepresence robots get dedicated connectivity instead of competing for guest Wi-Fi.
Low-latency, on-site compute for operating-room video AI.
Monitors, pumps and other bedside devices each connect on their own secure lane.
Astute installs Astute Stratum alongside your current network and operates it as a managed service. Your IT team doesn't take on another system to run.
Astute Data Guardian collects readings from patients' home medical devices and writes them to the EHR. It has run remote monitoring programs in production for more than a decade. Paired with Astute Stratum™, it extends the hospital's reach to the home and back.
Chronic care and post-discharge monitoring that continues the inpatient record at home.
Critical Access Hospitals, Rural Health Clinics and FQHCs, delivered as a managed service.
Home-based vitals and device data between site visits for trial sponsors.
The hubs and nodes that power Astute Stratum™ and Astute Data Guardian™ are available to device makers, solution builders and AI software companies for their own products. AI developers can build their inference models and deploy complete solutions without investing in hardware development. Designed in-house by Astute, assembled by ISO 13485-certified partners in the USA, TAA-compliant and FDA Class I.
Home
The in-home hub for home monitoring applications. Sends readings from home medical devices over cellular, to Astute Data Guardian or your own platform. The patient plugs it in; no home Wi-Fi setup.
Hospital room
The bedside connection point for Astute Stratum. Connects devices and the in-room camera, with on-device compute for AI applications.
Anywhere devices live
Edge connectivity and inference inside and outside the hospital. Brings devices onto the platform wherever they are.
Take the hardware on its own, add cloud services, or have Astute install and maintain the whole system.
AI developers shouldn't have to become hardware companies to reach the bedside. Astute Stratum™ provides the cameras, compute and secure network inside the hospital, installed and run by Astute. You bring the application.
Connect devices to a dedicated network and route data to the EHR and your own cloud, without negotiating access to each hospital's IT network.
Subscribe to the in-room camera and run your models on site. No cameras, mesh devices or cabling for you to install. Your application runs on hospital infrastructure Astute provides.
Reliable, dedicated connectivity for delivery, logistics and telepresence robots.
Bring your application to hospitals running Astute Stratum. Astute provides the network, cameras and compute, and runs them.
A private system built around your devices and AI, serving only your company. Contact us about deployments outside the US.
Tell us what you're bringing to the bedside: a device, a model or a robot. We'll walk you through how it runs on Astute Stratum.
Astute's team of operators and entrepreneurs has built and shipped connected care together for two decades, moving clinical data through HIPAA-secured environments that hospital IT and security teams approve. That experience now goes into one problem: giving hospitals an infrastructure layer built for devices, AI and robots, without disrupting the network they already depend on.
Astute Stratum™ sits beneath clinical applications, devices and robots. Astute partners with the companies that build them.
Astute never takes ownership of client data. That commitment is written into every agreement.
Hardware designed in-house, assembled by ISO 13485-certified partners in the USA, and TAA-compliant. Engineering and operations run by a US-based team.
