Kopis, through consultation with Patrona Medical, identified the product requirements for the Foley Garde solution and leveraged Zipit's IoT connectivity and device management technologies to enable secure, wireless connectivity and cloud-based management of the solution over a cellular network.

"Selecting Kopis as my primary engineering services team provided me with great confidence that they could help pull together the appropriate technologies and partners to materialize my vision of a wirelessly connected product. In addition, as a CATH lab user of Zipit's other enterprise products, I am very familiar with Zipit's name and can confidently say their technology has contributed in large part to our success in providing timely care."  - James Conner, CEO, Patrona Medical

"With its near real-time detection capabilities, Patrona's medical device will have the potential to greatly improve clinical response times and patient outcomes, and leveraging Zipit's IoT and wireless background as the basis for the Foley Garde was a no-brainer. We see a promising future for James and the Patrona team, and are glad to be able to play our part in assisting them in bringing this idea to life." - Adam Drewes, Chief Marketing Officer, Kopis
