Mobile laboratory showroom for live demonstrations of Siemens technology
At Hospital Build 2011, a mobile laboratory will demonstrate that Siemens' integrated laboratory
solution sets new standards in the industry. This 5 m³ room is equipped with all necessary
disciplines and is fully functional. In addition to an HVAC control system tailored to laboratory
requirements, environmental monitoring and airlock control, the mobile laboratory also includes
integrated systems for personnel and fire safety, security, explosion prevention, and a
sophisticated alarm system. All applications are displayed on a Desigo Insight system which offers
open interfaces for integrating products from third-party vendors (such as particle sensors).
Increased patient comfort
With its HiMed Multimedia Entertainment terminal, Siemens is bringing the future into the hospital
rooms of today. This user-friendly multimedia terminal with touchpanel operation is attached to the
hospital bed and lets the patient control the room environment (lights, blinds, windows,
temperature), communicate by phone and e-mail, and use several entertainment options such as
TV and Internet. In addition, the patient has interactive access to hospital information and to virtual
consultations. The HiMed Multimedia terminal also offers benefits to doctors and nursing staff. With
their ID, they can access patient records right from the patient's bedside. This ensures that all the
required information is available anytime and anywhere.
Green+ Hospitals for sustainability in hospitals
In today's healthcare climate, hospitals are faced with numerous challenges. Doctors and hospitals
are expected to continuously improve the medical care of patients while also lowering costs and
reducing their impact on the environment. To help the healthcare sector meet these challenges,
Siemens has developed the Green+ Hospitals program. The “plus” in the name symbolizes that
sustainability in the healthcare industry goes beyond environmental protection. It has far more to
do with increasing the efficiency of workflows, improving the economic sustainability of hospitals
and medical offices, and optimizing the quality of medical care—without ignoring environmental
aspects. The Green+ Hospitals program combines all Siemens solutions that help hospitals meet
these criteria.
Hospitals benefit from the Green+ Hospitals program by optimizing their workflows and
streamlining processes for improved efficiency. Innovative medical systems and high-tech building
infrastructures help reduce costs and improve medical care. Patients, in turn, benefit from shorter
wait times as well as new diagnostic and treatment methods that place less strain on the body and
increase the quality of care. As part of its Green+ Hospitals program, Siemens also provides
consulting services to its customers in the areas of building automation, energy management,
instrumentation and control, as well as IT and communications infrastructure.
