About Spire Health

Spire Health specializes in continuous respiration sensing and high-adherence, patient-friendly ambulatory monitoring. Its mission is to harness the power of algorithms and sensors to improve health outcomes by empowering patients and physicians with useful and actionable data. Currently, they work with partners across a range of health conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, asthma, sleep disorders, and anxiety.

The Challenge

Spire needed comprehensive and continuous compliance across all its cloud environments to be fully compliant with HIPAA regulations, which involves setting up a documented process for monitoring, maintenance, patching, and encryption.

Ibexlabs was there to help the company work through the technical portion of the HIPAA Risk Assessment and establish best practice protocols for protecting electronic data.
