  4. Automation and Integration Technology

Automation and Integration Technology The improvement of medical technologies and processes is the foundation for a future-proof healthcare system. Concepts of automation and integration technology play a central role in this process:

Integrated care from a medical perspective means a cross-sectoral patient care involving hospitals, specialists, family doctors, rehabilitation and care services. This requires an intensive communication between all parties involved. From a technical perspective, a data and process integration on all levels is required, from the dynamic networking in the operating theatre to the connection of health professionals and the involvement of the patient in his or her own care. Standards like DICOM, HL7, ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC, and IHE play a central role here.

Automation and Integration Technology

Automation and integration technologies are furthermore used to create assistive systems for the personal living environment that support people in retaining or restoring health and independence in their own personal living environment.
