LONDON, UK: ISPM announced that the ‘Curing the Complexity' Catalyst project was awarded the title of ‘Most Significant Contribution' to Frameworx at TM Forum's Digital Disruption in San Jose. This year, Digital Disruption saw the presentation of the first-ever Catalyst team awards, across three categories. ISPM contributed to the eHealth project, "Curing the Complexity."

The award demonstrates that Frameworx can be extended to other industries with ease, adding value to the supply chain and providing a safe environment for the creation of eHealth solutions in a standardized, integrated and reusable fashion.

The ‘Curing the Complexity' project illustrated how, through the application of the Business Process Framework (eTOM), partners from different industries can meet the challenges of interoperability to provide healthcare to patients. In addition, the solution provided the means to perform remote diagnostic tests and to monitor the efficacy of prescription medicine.

The team was able to present a solution that combined hardware and software with the ability to generate real-time information from each patient. Follow-up services and advice can also be delivered, together with the capture of mobility and location data through a range of different visualization tools.

The challenge of interoperability between the partners was overcome through the use of the standards Information (SID) and Integration (TIP) capabilities of Frameworx. Crucially, the same procedures used in the telecoms industry were reused for medical procedures with very few adaptations.

ISPM, through its NetVision solution, was responsible for the implementation of Service Assurance capabilities, managing quality levels between each of the partners individually as well as for service as a whole.

NetVision was also used to provide Medical Service Assurance capabilities for the overall solution in order to orchestrate the monitoring of remote devices; collection of indicators and medical events; the co-ordination of medical management; and control of the processes of medical care. The project was a successful application of familiar concepts and processes from the telecoms industry in a new and vital market segment: health.
