IBA is the worldwide leader in the field of proton therapy, considered to be the most advanced form of radiation therapy. They teamed up with our colleagues from Xylos because of their experience with developing cloud solutions at scale. Xylos in turn brought us to the table for our expertise with the IoT. Together we were tasked to design a solution for their ambition to become more efficient.

Every downtime of a proton therapy system has significant impact on the patients. Because rescheduling a patient’s treatment results in the risk of cancer growth in the meantime. Fortunately, most downtime can be prevented with adequate monitoring and scheduled maintenance. Still, IBA has the ambition to go one step further and predict when their devices would malfunction so they can replace the worn parts outside the patient treatment hours.
