The digital ECG - A challenge with opportunities
The German healthcare system regularly makes negative headlines: shortage of skilled workers, long waiting times, high costs. Part of the solution lies in digitalization, which can have positive effects in many different areas.
The networking of devices and the transfer of simple (partial) processes to machines that automatically analyze and send data comes with a high level of responsibility for medtech manufacturers – and correspondingly high demands on development departments. In addition, modern technologies, such as connectivity to cloud applications or the use of artificial intelligence, require additional skills and new development tools.
However, smart, networked devices also offer opportunities – for patients as well as for users in the medical sector. This also creates opportunities for manufacturers to position themselves competitively with devices that are future-proof and user-friendly. Above all, however, they offer opportunities to improve processes – and thus contribute to the optimization of the entire healthcare system.
Our white paper "More digitalization promotes cardiovascular health," which you can download here, reveals how the healthcare system can benefit from digitalization at various levels, what challenges need to be overcome in the development of a digital ECG device, and what requirements an external partner must meet.
