Use case: Medical Devices

Medical Devices

AI at the point of care

Bring AI to medical hardware while keeping it private and under your control. Wendy runs imaging, monitoring, and inference directly on the device, so patient data can stay in the room.

Built for the point of care

  • 01

    Patient Data Stays On the Device

    Inference runs locally, so imaging, vitals, and recordings can stay on the hardware instead of crossing a network to a cloud service.

  • 02

    Real-Time Imaging & Vision

    Run segmentation, detection, and guidance models on endoscopy, ultrasound, and surgical video with low latency on Jetson-class GPUs.

  • 03

    Bedside Monitoring & Alerts

    Fuse vitals, waveforms, and camera streams at the bedside to catch deterioration early. Alerts come from the device itself, so they keep working if the hospital network goes down.

  • 04

    Consistent Behavior in the Field

    Workloads run on the device rather than a shared cloud, so the software you validate is the software that runs at the point of care.

  • 05

    Authenticated Devices

    Each device gets its own certificate, every connection uses mutual TLS, and apps run sandboxed with only the hardware access they declare. Encrypted app storage is available as an opt-in on Jetson.

  • 06

    Device Logs & Traceability

    Apps log inputs, model versions, and decisions to an OpenTelemetry collector on the device, and the agent records app versions and resource use, for your own traceability and audit process.

  • 07

    OS Updates That Roll Back

    WendyOS installs each update to a second partition. If the new system fails to boot or fails its health checks, the device returns to the previous version on its own.

  • 08

    Remote Access Across Facilities

    Wendy Cloud, now in beta, shows which devices are online and reaches them through an outbound tunnel, with no inbound ports opened on the hospital network.

  • 09

    Offline-First Operation

    Ambulances, rural clinics, and field hospitals rarely have reliable connectivity. Wendy devices run fully offline, and you can deploy, update, and debug them over USB-C or the local network.

  • 10

    Long-Lifecycle Hardware Support

    Medical products live for a decade or more. Build on NVIDIA Jetson and Raspberry Pi hardware with an open-source stack your team can pin, audit, and maintain.

Common questions

Medical Devices FAQs

Direct answers about local inference, privacy, traceability, and predictable physical AI for medical hardware.

Why should medical-device AI run locally?

Medical-device AI often handles imaging, vitals, recordings, or other sensitive data at the point of care. Running inference locally can reduce data movement, avoid variable network latency, and keep device behavior more predictable for validation and field use.

What medical-device workloads fit WendyOS?

WendyOS fits imaging and vision systems, bedside monitoring, alerting, and offline-first medical hardware that needs local compute, controlled OS and app updates, and logs kept on the device.

How does WendyOS support traceability?

Apps can log model versions, inputs, and outputs to the OpenTelemetry collector on each device, and the agent records app versions and device state. Teams can use those records in their own traceability, audit, and post-market review processes.
