Healthcare Digital intelligence for perfect patient care Healthcare systems are coming under pressure from two sides: 昀椀rst, there is an obligation to keep costs down for running clinics, patient care and medication. Secondly, the quality demands for healthcare are rising in parallel to the aging of society. However, quite apart from the 昀椀nancial challenges and necessary e昀昀iciency increases in processes, what is ultimately important is the ongoing treatment success and patient welfare. With this goal in mind, we are creating modern automation systems for our customers which, for example, permit material 昀氀ow, 100 % traceability and safe medication management during and after hospital stays.
