Expert Interviews Report

As aging populations and chronic diseases strain healthcare systems, clinicians encounter complex and error-prone workflows, particularly in critical care. This whitepaper outlines specific use cases demonstrating how seamless data exchange and automation between devices can streamline workflows, reduce documentation errors, and lower costs.

For manufacturers, shifting from standalone medical devices to interoperable solutions offers an opportunity to innovate and facilitate new revenue models and enhance their role in a connected, data-driven healthcare environment.

Perspectives from industry experts and clinicians at various Clinics across Europe are curated and synthesized in this whitepaper.

Discover the expert viewpoints on the following topics in our whitepaper:

• What specific challenges does the healthcare workforce encounter in their daily routines?  
• Are there concrete use cases that clearly demonstrate how interoperability enhances workflows? 
• Which hospital departments benefit the most from seamless device integration? 
• What are the key enablers that facilitate effective interoperability across medical devices?
