Sustainability drives innovations

As the Program Manager and Team Lead, Alina manages a dedicated team and is responsible for many projects, while also passionately driven by developing technological innovations that benefit society. She is particularly interested in making healthcare more efficient and improving people's health. "Technology is a powerful tool that helps us to solve real problems. It plays a particularly vital role in the field of health, which affects us all and significantly influences our lives," she says.

This is exactly what she set out to do at ZEISS Digital Innovation. In Health and Life Science Solutions, she works on digital innovations that have the potential to fundamentally change healthcare. The 33-year-old sees herself as an enabler. She and her teams support different ZEISS segments in implementing innovative ideas for products and solutions. These include platforms for managing patient data, applications that help doctors to make faster and better clinical decisions as well as technologies for transferring data between medical devices to reduce the workload for medical staff. She finds the use of generative AI particularly exciting here, viewing it as the key to new possibilities.

For Alina, the use of software is not an end in itself. She wants to create ecological, economic and, above all, meaningful synergies to bring about real change. She believes technology, sustainability and humanity are not mutually exclusive rather that they complement each other perfectly. She has identified the perfect combination of these aspects, particularly in healthcare.

"It's incredibly inspiring to work in a field that's evolving rapidly and fueling such meaningful purpose. Besides that, it's so much fun to work with dedicated and diverse teams" she says enthusiastically when talking about the latest developments in AI. Ultimately, not only is she shaping the future of technology through her work, but she is also handing her colleagues the tools to facilitate innovation.
