Site Visit 5: Cisco
Cisco Program: Moving to 2020 in Healthcare now!
Healthcare is more and more dependent on ICT. All medical equipment is connected, all patient-data is centrally stored and accessible via workstations and iPads. We know where patients are in the hospital via wayfinding, doctors connect per video with patients at home (for after treatment), connecting with medical specialists around the globe exchanging research and connecting with eHealth solutions to provide much more data about your patient. Obviously all patient communication is coming together in a Patient Portal, including the video recording of the last medical outcome meeting.
Cisco's main focus is innovation; in industry and certainly in healthcare. Cisco facilitates wearables in a way that added value is offered to the health care professional.
During your visit, we share with you our vision on the 'Interrnet of Everything' connecting people, process, devices and 'things' such as wearables in a meaningful way. We show you how you, your patient and your organization may profit all together.
At the same time, you are being wowed by our practical examples and showcases. Be amazed how meaningful patient-physician interaction can be facilitated today!. We are specifically focusing on video interaction and telemedicine, as we believe there are wonderful opportunities and new communication pathways to explore here.
We are very much looking forward to WATCH conference and meeting you!
