Introduction.
The cosmetic medical device is a modern cloud-connected device, managed by a tablet application via secure Bluetooth protocol and Raspberry Pi controlled hardware. The device not only carries out the procedure but also allows users to analyze the use of the cosmetic device in general. Comprehensive statistics gives users important data on how effective the device and methods of its use are and allows to adapt processes and methodologies to reach maximum effectiveness. Device usage statistics is saved to a web-based application that allows users to generate required report data.
Apart from management, the tablet application has comprehensive information on every applicable procedure that includes video tutorials, general description, and video lessons where applicable.
Remote cloud-based statistics management system reduces the operational load on hardware components of the device, and ensures that all medical data is kept safe.
All the components, software and hardware, are developed with compliance to the latest security and reliability standards and recommendations adopted in the EU.
