Case Study

Background

In the healthcare field, ultrasound devices are an essential tool for non-invasive diagnostics and are widely used in the examination of various diseases.

As a leader in the medical device industry, the client’s next-generation ultrasound equipment generates an increasing amount of data, placing higher demands on the performance, stability, and reliability of storage devices.

Especially for ultrasound devices deployed in diverse environments, such as emergency vehicles and remote clinics, BIWIN’s wide-temperature SSD solutions offer a reliable solution, ensuring consistent data handling and reliable performance in challenging conditions.

Challenges

Stable Operation and Image Quality: Strict functionality and compatibility testing to ensure stable operation and consistent image quality of ultrasound devices.
High Reliability in Mild Environments: High-reliability storage solutions required for environments with mild conditions, demanding semi-wide-temperature, industrial-grade specifications.
Long Device Lifespan (6–8 Years): High endurance (P/E cycles) and long lifecycle support to match the device’s extended operational life.
Data Integrity: Ultrasound imaging data must remain intact, requiring storage solutions that maintain data integrity, prevent data loss, and ensure secure data storage and transmission.

Implementation

Initially, the client considered more cost-effective standard temperature SSDs, but the compatibility of consumer-grade products did not meet their needs.

As a result, BIWIN recommended industrial-grade SSDs, which were perfectly compatible with the client’s ultrasound devices.

The SSDs provided stable operation during use and had a longer lifespan than consumer-grade products.
Ultrasound imaging devices typically require data to be stored for extended periods, and the client was particularly concerned about data integrity.

BIWIN engineers integrated features such as 4K LDPC and ECC into the SSD, allowing for effective error correction in the event of bit flips.

In cases of significant data loss, RAID configuration was used to successfully recover the data, ensuring the consistency and integrity of medical imaging data during storage and transmission.

Outcomes

Through comprehensive testing and validation, BIWIN successfully addressed the client’s storage challenges, ensuring reliable medical image data storage.

Thanks to effective cost-control strategies, BIWIN provided the optimal cost-benefit ratio for the client, ensuring a win-win outcome.

This collaboration has laid a solid foundation for the future expansion of AI-driven smart healthcare.
