For remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telehealth to succeed, they must be easy for both patients and healthcare providers. Many patients, especially those in rural areas or without strong technical skills—lack reliable home WiFi or comfort with complex devices.
At the same time, healthcare providers need accurate, timely patient data to inform treatment and manage billing. Without automation, onboarding and device setup can create costly delays and reduce adoption.
Remote Care Partners (RCP) set out to create a zero-friction telehealth solution that would work for patients anywhere, with no complicated setup or reliance on home internet.
RCP developed a purpose-built SmartHub designed for maximum simplicity:
Providers can ship the SmartHub directly to patients along with wireless blood pressure cuffs, glucose monitors, pulse oximeters, thermometers, scales, or spirometers.
Once connected, the SmartHub automatically sends data to providers, including:
This continuous stream of information gives providers a fuller picture of each patient’s condition and helps them respond quickly to any changes.
RCP chose Soracom Air for secure, multi-carrier cellular coverage, ensuring every SmartHub works right out of the box regardless of the patient’s location.
Soracom’s platform also offers:
“As a remote healthcare solution, we need to be able to solve any technical issues remotely,” said Gledhill. “Soracom makes maintenance simple and easy.”
Today, RCP supports thousands of patients with services ranging from remote monitoring to care management and ongoing health education. Their platform helps medical practices improve outcomes, reduce costs, and expand telemedicine capabilities with:
As reimbursement models shift toward value-based care, RCP is well-positioned to expand its role, helping providers deliver better patient experiences while keeping operations efficient.
With Soracom’s connectivity and device management tools, RCP can continue scaling its SmartHub network — ensuring remote care is accessible, reliable, and easy for everyone involved.
In 2012, Pebblebee founder Daniel Daoura experienced every parent’s nightmare: his two-year-old daughter disappeared in a crowded fairground. Thankfully, she was quickly found, but the experience set him on a mission.
As an electrical engineer and RF communications expert, Daniel knew that existing personal trackers were either too limited or too expensive for family use. Together with co-founder Nick Pearson-Franks, he launched Pebblebee to build devices that combine innovative design, extended battery life, and long-range Bluetooth into consumer-friendly form factors.
Today, Pebblebee helps families track everything from keys and wallets to pets, children, and even drones – ensuring peace of mind where it matters most.
Pebblebee recognized that Bluetooth alone wasn’t enough. It can tell you when a pet has left the yard, but not where they’ve gone. Cellular tracking provides precise GPS, but traditionally requires bulky hardware, drains batteries, and adds confusing subscription fees.
To create a tracker that truly delivers peace of mind, Pebblebee needed a solution that combined:
After three years of development and hundreds of prototypes, Pebblebee introduced Pebblebee Found, a breakthrough tracker that seamlessly blends Bluetooth and LTE-M.
Pebblebee Found redefines what a personal tracker can be – small, powerful, reliable, and subscription-free.
Found was Pebblebee’s first cellular-enabled device, and it pushed the limits of consumer IoT design. To succeed, the team needed an ambitious connectivity partner with:
With Soracom, Pebblebee gained not only reliable LTE-M service but also hands-on collaboration from solutions architects who felt like an extension of the product team.
Pebblebee’s mission is simple: help people stay connected to what they love most. Beyond pets and personal items, the team is already exploring new products designed to support families in more ways.
Rather than chasing volume, Pebblebee focuses on delivering the best possible user experience. With a foundation of continuous innovation and strong partnerships in the IoT ecosystem, Daniel and his team are confident that success will follow.
Anaxeos, a brand created by the Finnish high-tech company Sense of Intelligence Ltd, set out with an ambitious mission: to improve the lives of one million dogs by 2023. The company believes that digitization, IoT, and AI can serve not only humans, but also our closest companions, giving pet owners new insights into their dogs’ health and well-being.
Wearable technology for pets has grown rapidly in recent years, from GPS trackers to activity sensors. Anaxeos builds on this momentum by developing solutions that combine IoT data with cloud-based analytics, helping owners better understand their dogs’ needs and behaviors. By making the invisible visible, Anaxeos strengthens the bond between people and their pets.
The company’s innovation has not gone unnoticed. In 2017, Anaxeos was recognized as the Best IoT Startup in Finland and nominated as one of the Best IoT Startups in the Nordic region, demonstrating early validation of its vision and approach
Designing wearable IoT solutions for dogs comes with unique challenges. Devices must be lightweight, durable, water-resistant, and comfortable enough for animals to wear throughout daily activities. At the same time, they need to look stylish and appealing to owners who view these products as both functional and lifestyle accessories.
Beyond physical design, connectivity and data security present additional hurdles. Pet wearables must reliably capture and transmit data such as activity levels, heart rate, and location. This requires dependable wireless communication and secure data exchange to ensure accuracy and privacy.
Balancing usability, comfort, and technical performance is a complex task. To deliver a solution that meets all three requirements, Anaxeos needed both strong design expertise and a trusted connectivity partner who could help manage data transmission seamlessly at scale.
Anaxeos’ wearable solution integrates multiple sensors to monitor activity, heart rate, and GPS location in real time. Data is captured from the dog, transmitted via cellular IoT connectivity, and analyzed in the cloud using AI and machine learning. This combination delivers actionable insights that owners can access through an intuitive app with a conversational interface.
With cellular connectivity at its core, the system ensures that data flows securely and reliably no matter where dogs and owners are. Whether monitoring daily exercise goals, tracking vital signs, or pinpointing location, Anaxeos gives owners peace of mind and a deeper connection to their pets.
To power this vision globally, Anaxeos turned to Soracom. As CEO Toni Koutu explains, Soracom’s eSIM capability and real-time management tools allow Anaxeos to scale across borders while keeping costs under control. Just as importantly, Soracom shares a startup-friendly mindset, providing support and flexibility that align with Anaxeos’ values and growth goals.
