Innovative IT solutions for the medical technology industry

Digitisation is also moving into medical tech

E-Health, patient protection, Internet of Things (IoT), automation and cyber security are occupying many companies in the medical tech industry. We have supported start-ups in the medical tech sector in creating a viable, self-sustaining cloud-based platform on which they can run their aid programmes with their medical products.

Digitization in medical tech

Digitisation also offers an opportunity for medical tech. The first medical products have already been digitally enhanced. This will not only create new possibilities, for example in the evaluation of functions, places of use or service life of the products, but also open new business areas.

The sales market is expanding due to ever smaller and more portable products, which are further driving the trend in medical tech towards home care. Spatial ties to hospitals or other facilities are no longer required. The patients themselves become users of medical products. This results in new challenges but also exciting business models.

Many medical tech manufacturers are asking themselves how they can continue to position themselves in this rapidly changing environment in the future. The advantages of digitalization in medical tech are obvious, but the risks, especially in data protection and data security, must not be neglected and forgotten. We accompany you a conception of collaborative platforms to the development and operation of IT solutions in medical tech.

With the wealth of detailed information that you can gather about the different phases of customer and partner collaboration or about the life cycle of products, you can make well-founded business decisions. We support you with IT know-how and many years of experience in the medical tech sector in the development and operation of your IT solution.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The use of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Big Data enables you to increase performance by using information across different systems. By combining multiple data sources, models and algorithms can be continuously improved and enriched. The analysis of disease symptoms or the use of medical technology can thus enable conclusions to be drawn about changes, irregularities or other patterns. These findings can be incorporated into the development of medical products, the optimization and further development of digital platforms or sales and marketing activities. In addition, you have the possibility to react to these patterns in real or near-time, e.g. to make it easier for your customers or partners to use your products and services.

Nowadays, medical tech companies distribute their products through a wide variety of sales channels. In times of digitalization, not only the customer wants to know where and when his product is available, but also the manufacturer. Therefore, traceability is becoming more and more important. Thanks to the Blockchain technology this is now possible with little effort. This method guarantees, besides a secure traceability, also the protection against fraud.
