About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Custom Health Acquires PatchRx to Expand Patient Connected Care Platform

By: Newsfile

Integration of PatchRx's adherence technology and connected dispensing strengthens Custom Health's vertically integrated, data-driven medication management for patients, providers, and payors

Kelowna, British Columbia and New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - Custom Health, Inc., a vertically integrated, tech-enabled care platform, announces the acquisition of PatchRx, Inc., a medication adherence and remote monitoring technology company. This transaction advances Custom Health's outcomes-driven medication programs by enabling prescription medication dispensing with real-time insights to improve care for patients managing chronic conditions while lowering healthcare costs.

PatchRx's patented PatchCap smart pill bottle cap technology is used in clinics and pharmacies across the U.S. to remotely monitor and improve patient adherence. PatchRx's seamless integration of software and hardware enables real-time visibility into medication compliance, allowing patients to manage their medicines more effectively and confidently, and clinicians to intervene before issues occur. The acquisition brings PatchRx's medication adherence under Custom Health's connected care platform of vertically integrated, end-to-end patient care solutions.

"The future of outcomes-driven medication programs lies in connectivity and data interoperability — not just getting medications to patients, but ensuring they are taken as prescribed, and then monitoring their impact and adapting treatment to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes," said Shane Bishop, CEO of Custom Health. "Nearly 60% of adults have a chronic physical or mental health condition and an estimated 40% of adults have two or more. Integrating PatchRx technology into our AdhereNet® platform enhances our ability to monitor adherence in real time and take swift action to support patients and improve outcomes."

As part of this transaction, PatchRx's co-Founders Andrew Aertker and Gavin Buchanan, along with key employees in sales, engineering, and finance, will join Custom Health to advance the mission to connect patients, providers, and payors through real-time data, connected dispensing, and personalized engagement.

"Our strategy at PatchRx is about more than hardware and dashboards — it's about giving providers visibility into medication adherence where they previously had none," said Mr. Aertker, CEO of PatchRx. "By joining Custom Health, we're embedding that visibility directly into the end-to-end care process at nationwide scale while complementing their proven model of technology-enabled patient outcomes management. This is the next evolution of how tech and pharmacy should work together."

Mr. Bishop added, "The PatchCap technology is exceptionally valuable when used to monitor patients taking pain medications, in particular when opioids are prescribed for as-needed use to treat breakthrough pain. This transaction with PatchRx supports and advances Custom Health's strategic focus on the significant market opportunity and pressing need in pain management."
