The PatientKeeper Platform™ is comprised of software frameworks for Smartphone, PDA, tablet, laptop, or desktop devices and a middleware server technology known as the PatientKeeper Application Server™ and PatientKeeper Integration Server™. The middleware technology supports a web service bus and adapters for integration with any back-end system in the health care enterprise. There are several possible configurations for retrieving data from back-end systems (for further information, see Overall System Configuration Options):

The PatientKeeper Platform can be installed at end-user sites or run in ASP mode.

There are several sub-platforms available for viewing patient data: Web, Android, and Apple. See The PatientKeeper Sub-Platforms for a description of each.

On the Android and Apple sub-platforms public/private key encryption (PKI) and the latest NIST AES and ECC encryption standards support privacy and security of data. While data is being transferred between server and client (and vice-versa), we rely on the WiFi (802.11 using WPA2, WPA, or WEP and LEAP) or Cellular network encryption and HTTPS (SSL). When storing the data on the device, it is always encrypted with AES-256 (except when viewed). The connectivity model follows the Intel wireless architecture standard, which supports any connectivity mode, reverting to “sometimes connected” when the network is down.

PatientKeeper recommends running the software for all handheld sub-platforms using SSL, even over wired connections, making the platform highly secure. You can also configure handheld devices to run without SSL.
