Plug-and-play installation
USB-C power and nothing else. No patient network configuration, no app, no on-site setup.
mdeg Patient Hub
Secure connectivity for home care devices
mdeg Patient Hub connects home-based medical and diagnostic devices to the cloud through integrated 5G/LTE connectivity. Designed around a strict zero-configuration principle, it requires no home Wi-Fi, no smartphone and no patient setup. Patients simply plug it into power. The hub takes care of the connection.

Home connectivity as a controlled part of your device
Devices in the patient’s home need more than a network connection. They need a reliable, secure way to transmit data without depending on patient Wi-Fi, smartphones, hospital IT or manual configuration.
- Independent of the patient’s networkThe hub uses its own 5G/LTE connection to the cloud. Wi-Fi, BT, BLE or USB are only used for the short local link to your device.
- Less installation, less supportNo setup calls, no forgotten Wi-Fi passwords. A predictable operational setup that scales from the first pilot to larger deployments.
- Available in 36 countriesBuilt for international deployments, with integrated cellular connectivity in supported countries.
How it works
Plug in.
The patient connects the hub to power with a USB-C cable and charger.
Pair locally.
Your pre-approved device connects to the hub via Wi-Fi, BT, BLE or USB.
Transmit securely.
The hub sends the data via 5G/LTE over HTTPS or MQTTS to mdeg Cloud.
Is the Patient Hub right for you?
It is ideally suited for:
- Home care medical and diagnostic devices
- Remote patient monitoring and decentralized care models
- Lab devices where no local Wi-Fi is available
- Clinical pilots and early connected-product deployments
- Devices that need independent, secure cloud connectivity
- Higher-risk devices that need a second, independent data channel as risk mitigation
- Manufacturers who want to avoid developing LTE hardware and connectivity infrastructure in-house
Typical users: Medical device manufacturers, diagnostic companies, MedTech startups and SMEs developing connected products for use in the patient’s home or in decentralized care.
Who works with it
Everyone who needs secure access to device- or patient-related data:
- Product and R&D teams
- Clinical teams and research groups
- Service organizations
- Operations teams
Core capabilities
Everything a home care device needs to reach the cloud reliably and without patient effort.
Integrated 5G/LTE
Its own mobile connection, independent of the patient’s Wi-Fi, smartphone or hospital IT.
Local device connection
Your device connects to the hub via Wi-Fi, BT, BLE or USB.
Secure & controlled
HTTPS or MQTTS communication over a protected network that only pre-approved devices can join.
Edge processing
Local processing and temporary data buffering on the hub before data is sent to the cloud.
Cloud integration
Already integrated in mdeg Cloud, for remote monitoring, device management and clinical data access.

Customer example
Example: home ventilation
A home-based COPD ventilation device sends its data via the Patient Hub and 5G/LTE to mdeg Cloud, independent of the patient’s home network.

Choose the setup that fits your product architecture, use case and cloud strategy.
With mdeg Cloud
Already integrated.
A complete infrastructure for remote patient monitoring, device management, service operations and clinical data access.
With a customer cloud
Your architecture, your ownership.
Secure communication with a customer-managed cloud when your product architecture or ownership model requires it.
As part of a complete mdeg solution
From pilot to scale.
Combined with mdeg connectivity, cloud and engineering services, from pilot deployment to larger-scale operation.
Home, point-of-care & decentralized
Outside controlled networks.
Designed for environments where reliable connectivity must be established outside a hospital or laboratory network.
What mdeg Patient Hub enables
The Patient Hub turns home connectivity into a controlled part of your medical device infrastructure.
- Deploy connected devices without patient Wi-Fi or smartphones
- Simplify installation and reduce support effort
- Avoid developing LTE, VPN and connectivity infrastructure in-house
- Establish an independent, predictable and secure device-to-cloud connection
- Support remote monitoring, device management and service operations
- Start with pilots and scale as the connected product evolves
Secure by design
Patient data deserves a controlled path to the cloud, not a home router.
Only pre-approved devices can join the hub’s protected local network. Data is transmitted via HTTPS or MQTTS over the hub’s own 5G/LTE connection. In mdeg Cloud it is processed in a certified information security management system (ISO 27001) and privacy information management system (ISO 27701).
Documentation in line with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 is scoped to your product, project phase and regulatory context.

Frequently asked questions
What manufacturers usually ask before taking their device into the patient’s home.
All questionsWhat does the patient have to do?
Plug the Patient Hub into power with the USB-C cable and charger. The hub establishes the network connection and communicates with the cloud on its own: no Wi-Fi password, no app, no configuration.
Does the patient need Wi-Fi or a smartphone?
No. The hub has an integrated 5G/LTE modem and its own secure channel to the cloud. Wi-Fi, BT, BLE and USB are only used locally between your device and the hub. Deployments need available LTE coverage in one of the 36 supported countries.
Which devices can connect to the hub?
Home care medical and diagnostic devices that communicate via Wi-Fi, BT, BLE or USB. Only pre-approved devices can join the hub’s protected network.
Can we use our own cloud?
Yes. The Patient Hub is already integrated in mdeg Cloud, but it can also establish secure communication with a customer-managed cloud when your product architecture or ownership model requires it.
Can the hub serve as a second, independent data channel?
Yes. For higher-risk devices, an independent LTE data channel can be part of your risk mitigation concept. We work out the details with you for your device.
Can we combine the hub with the MGDK?
Yes. Together with the mdeg MGDK you immediately have a configuration-free mobile home care monitoring device.
