DECEMBER 20218In My OpinionPhilippe Heim, Global Business Head Digitalization, Belimed ByCREATING DIGITAL INNOVATIONS THAT IMPROVE WORKING WITH MEDICAL DEVICESThe visions of the future are smart: smart cities, smart transport, smart houses, and also smart hospitals. We often hear that smart cities will eventually become networks for connected smart devices; their residents will be familiar with smart traffic, which will result in fewer traffic jams, special roads for autonomous vehicles, and underground freight routes. Wearables will monitor our health, our heart rate, our overall wellbeing and alert us when we will need to see a doctor. We will have smart hospitals with platforms offering accurate remote diagnoses. Digital connected healthcare will change the patient experience.
