Overarching solutions for the healthcare market

Help for helpers and patients

In the past years, the euromicron Group has positioned itself as a competent partner with a broad lineup in the health sector and care of the elderly. Hospitals, nursing homes and patients benefit from the numerous services that can be generated from a powerful network infrastructure for rapid data transfer. Individual access to TV or the Internet will soon be commonplace for patients and doctors in modern hospitals. Every bed has an infotainment center, consisting of a screen and remote controller. The medical staff can obtain the latest information on patients at any time. That is pleasant for patients – but just a small part of the technology that is now increasingly changing the already dynamic health and care sector.

Reduction in the workload on nursing staff, yet an increase in the quality of care

euromicron has developed a concept for monitoring patients by means of a video and intercom system for the Interventional Radiology unit of a large German university hospital. It enables live transfer of telemetry data from every bed. The system reduces the workload on nursing staff, yet increases the quality of care.

“We implemented a comprehensive network solution for a nationwide operator of rehabilitation clinics. The core application is the nurse call. We also implemented the infrastructure for telecommunications and the security system with the fire alarm system. In particular, this interdisciplinary expertise ensured that euromicron had a good competitive position when it came to award of the contract,” said Thomas Hoffmann.

The complexity of the health system demands system know-how, as well as specialist knowledge and a good understanding of the market. Then there are newer and newer medical possibilities. The issue of prevention is gaining in importance, since in the long run it saves health insurers and patients a lot of money. In technical terms, that means: Monitoring will grow in importance in future. Monitoring of vital functions supports treatment, gives security and can improve medical results.

Concepts for care of the elderly

A suitable monitoring and emergency call system can ensure that aid comes right away when it is needed. Failure of vital functions is reported to a central control station, from where the chain of reaction can be initiated purposefully.

The chance to live longer at home

“mobile care center” – that is the name of the solution that euromicron has developed for the healthcare market and which captured an award at the “vodafone innovation days” in 2009. It is a service for elderly people and those who need care and enables mobile monitoring of them. A small portable device transfers voice, data and location information over the mobile network to a control center. euromicron is busy working on real-time transmission of vital functions, such as heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure or breathing.
