MEETING THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS

Can you share your thoughts on a paradigm shift that you have you noticed in the global healthcare industry?

Digital technologies are transforming many industries, and healthcare is one of them. Digitalisation of healthcare is the paradigm shift and the way forward. From generating, aggregating, and analysing data, digital technologies are increasing value and improving medical outcomes at reduced costs.

With aging populations, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, and ever-increasing healthcare spending, healthcare providers around the world are under pressure to deliver more and better care within limited budgets. While talking to partners, we have realized that digital technologies must meet the needs of patients and providers alike.

For instance, enabling remote monitoring of patients, giving individuals knowledge and ownership of their own health and wellness, increasing accuracy, standardisation, and efficiency, facilitating seamless communication among providers and health systems and leveraging AI to integrate and analyse large amounts of data.

What are Siemens Healthineers’ key India contributions vis-à-vis products and platforms built out of India?

At Siemens Healthineers, we contribute to the development of products and solutions of all businesses. Some of the products include syngo, the advanced visualization (AV) solution for medical imaging, Cios Fit, a multidisciplinary mobile C-arm with powerful imaging technology, team play, a digital health platform that enables the digital transformation of healthcare providers. In addition, our AI-Rad companion platform is an Al-based software assistant for image reading, and Al-Pathway Companion platform supports clinical decision making based on Al.

Bright frogs, Monarch butterflies, Black-yellow bees and industrial automation- same thing?

As counter-intuitive as it may sound- Is automation a stupid loud colour to wear that attracts predators because of bigger attack surfaces or is it strangely-aposematic enough to tell the bad actors - stay away? Specially when security is baked in and bold- and ready for any camouflage? And what happens when Quantum and third-party supply chains make their way into industrial forests? We may not have all the answers but how about a purple-team approach to begin with.

AI is not Valyrian. It's the new English.

While it may still be too early for people to say 'Avy jorrāelan' to a technology that is affecting their jobs in more ways than one, it is better if we face our fears with clarity, caution and confidence. How does that advice play out in a function that, itself, decides who works and where?
