As hospitals manage rising service demand in a complex regulatory landscape, cloud is emerging as the essential enabler of next-generation, AI-driven diagnostics – secure, scalable and ensuring continuity in increasingly interoperable ecosystems.

Endoscopy plays a critical role in early cancer detection and avoiding open surgery. But a combination of overburdened healthcare staff and fragmented workflows means endoscopy departments need greater interoperability to improve patient outcomes.

Miquel-Angel Garcia of Olympus Corporation's Endoscopy Solutions Division explains the aim and focus on alleviating clinicians' administrative and cognitive burden while also prioritizing resource efficiency at uncompromised quality of patient care.

The med-tech industry is evolving from solely supplying advanced hardware to providing comprehensive patient care solutions. This shift influences how med-tech companies tackle product development, collaboration, and data utilisation.

Karsten Klose and Peter Mountney talk about the recently acquired cloud-AI company Odin Vision, to be established as Olympus' first digital center of excellence, providing integrated hardware/software solutions for various medical specialties.

The pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital health solutions and devices. But it also exposed the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of increasingly connected hospital systems. Digital leaders in hospital organizations must now demand data security assurance from technology providers.

Patient pathways can be digitized, allowing AI solutions to improve patient safety, outcomes and efficiencies, according to Shawn LaRocco, VP, global head of business, Customer Solutions at Olympus.

Medical content management and virtual collaboration will be the main focus when Olympus brings its digital health portfolio to 2022 HIMSS European Health Conference & Exhibition, underlining its vision for connecting people, systems and expertise throughout healthcare delivery.

Expanding the role of advanced medical content in clinical outcome improvement is at the heart of a cooperation between Oslo University Hospital and Olympus, which will also build the foundation for the development of AI in digital health solutions.

Miquel Angel Garcia, Head of Medical Systems Division EMEA at Olympus, talks about how the company gives hospitals support in achieving the top goals he outlines.
