Case Study: Astute, Inc. achieves real-time patient monitoring and improved outcomes with Microsoft Power BI

Astute, Inc. makes profound changes in healthcare with the latest technology

Astute, a small B2B patient-monitoring company, faced challenges integrating disparate devices and software, scaling securely for global healthcare requirements, and delivering real‑time, actionable data to caregivers. To address this, Astute standardized on Microsoft technologies — including Microsoft Power BI, Azure (Azure Cosmos DB/DocumentDB), Windows IoT, Skype for Business Online, and Intune — to unify operations, ensure HIPAA compliance, and enable connected patient-facing tablets and sensors.

Using Microsoft Power BI together with Azure and Windows IoT, Astute implemented cloud-hosted analytics, personalized Power BI portals, and Windows-powered tablets with Skype and IoT sensors to deliver instant alerts and patient insights to caregivers. The Microsoft-powered solution transformed operations by enabling rapid app and device development, supporting global deployment and compliance, empowering caregivers with real‑time monitoring and analytics, and positioning Astute to scale production (plans for 40,000 tablets per year) while reducing response times and care costs.
