Robust Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with Scalable Architecture

Atomic built a smart cart MVP aligned closely with Altus's original vision—optimized through competitor insights—and designed for future iterations and enterprise growth. By prioritizing modularity and scalability early, the platform is able to accommodate growing demands from diverse hospital systems without costly rework.

Seamless Healthcare IoT Integration

Clio Connect was engineered to meet hospital-grade IT and compliance standards, including data encryption, authentication, and security protocols, making it easy to deploy safely within sensitive healthcare environments.

Integrated Device Telemetry and Real-Time Diagnostics

Atomic built a real-time monitoring system that gives Altus and their customers live visibility into battery health, cart uptime, and fault data. What once required disassembling carts and emailing reports can now be done instantly—reducing downtime and avoiding unnecessary service trips.
