information system, system administrators can make definable information, such as x-rays, as well
as specific applications available right at the bedside.
HiMed IP Nurse Call system: This IP-based nurse call system is a reliable solution for hospitals.
Its modular design can be customized to comply with specific requirements and structures, and its
voice and convenience features are optimized for communication between patients and hospital
staff. Mobile call distribution and communications streamline tasks, reduce staff workload, and
increase patient comfort. Patients are able to use the room components easily and safely. The call
system is connected directly to the hospital’s IP network. No specialized knowledge is required for
planning, installation, startup and support. Call rooms are easily added to the system via Plug and
Play.
Operating room solution: Operating rooms (ORs) have stringent requirements for technical
systems. To protect the lives of patients, ORs must be available immediately when needed and
ensure trouble-free operations. For example, correctly set ventilation helps protect against
infections during surgery. Adequate fresh air supply and the correct room temperature improve
working conditions and boost the productivity of surgeons and nurses during surgery. The Siemens
touchpanel allows for immediate and direct control of features such as ventilation, heating, lighting
and blinds, and displays error status messages. An easy-to-use interface ensures ideal
environmental conditions for patients and doctors, better safety, more efficient procedures, and
reduced energy consumption. Based on customized scenarios, the operating room solution allows
OR workflows to be optimized.
Mobile nurse call and care system for dementia patients: The effects of our aging population
include an increase in the number of long-term patients and in the occurrence of diseases such as
dementia, which require specialized solutions. This makes it imperative to optimize performance in
care wards in order to ensure comprehensive patient care at any time. For example, a proactive
security management system could be established to track older persons, those suffering from
confusion, and patients who might get lost in the hospital or leave the building without supervision.
Using a state-of-the-art wireless tracking system, the location of a person carrying an RFID
transmitter can be determined quickly and precisely. In an emergency, the nursing staff in charge
is alerted immediately. This means enhanced security for patients and relatives and better staff
productivity because caregivers don’t have to monitor doors or search for patients. The system
also eliminates baby mix-ups, prevents theft of expensive medical equipment, and supports asset
tracking and logistical workflows.
