HIMSS 2017, Orlando, Feb 19 to Feb 23, 2017; Siemens
Healthineers at booth 2323 -- At the 55th Annual Meeting for
the Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS),
Siemens Healthineers announces a digital platform for healthcare
providers as well as for providers of solutions and services, aimed
at covering the entire spectrum of healthcare. The platform is to
foster the growth of a digital ecosystem linking healthcare
providers and solution providers with one another as well as
bringing together their data, applications and services.
In the Siemens Healthineers Digital Ecosystem, data from
imaging, in-vitro diagnostics and medical documentation is combined
and assessed. This data is generated in one of the healthcare
industry's largest installed bases, i.e. the Siemens Healthineers
customers who have agreed to participate in the ecosystem.
Furthermore it will allow its users to exchange data and knowledge
with other experts beyond their own institution. With the Digital
Ecosystem Siemens Healthineers aims to set new trends in healthcare
together with its customers and partners to enable healthcare
providers around the world to meet their current challenges and to
excel in their respective environments.
Digitalization in healthcare is expected to drive the
much-needed change towards widespread value-based care and
dramatically reduced costs. Deep insights, i.e. into the clinical
or operational performance of a healthcare facility, are essential
for the digital transformation of healthcare. With its Digital
Ecosystem, Siemens Healthineers plans to contribute to value-based
healthcare by enabling fast, simple and seamless interaction
between providers of data and knowledge.
Through the Digital Ecosystem Siemens Healthineers will provide
its customers with aggregated data which are usable for different
evaluations. For example tools for predictive analysis could enable
users to discern new correlations and trends to help improve
diagnoses and guide therapy choices. Global knowledge exchange is a
very important instrument in medicine to improve patient care. The
Siemens Healthineers Digital Ecosystem will allow experts to link
and communicate with their peers worldwide, and healthcare
providers can benefit from Siemens Healthineers’ extensive
expertise in nearly all clinical areas, including experience in
data security in the healthcare market.
Because a digital ecosystem thrives if as many service providers
as possible contribute to it, the Siemens Healthineers Digital
Ecosystem comes with open API’s (Application Programming Interface)
to enable application developers and solution providers to
efficiently create, market and offer services which are seamlessly
integrated into a shared digital healthcare platform. Partner
companies will be able to access one of the largest pools of
in-vivo and in-vitro data, and share their solutions with
healthcare providers in markets all across the world.
“We believe that digitalization and the associated networking of
healthcare providers is essential for the transformation to
value-based healthcare. Big data needs to become smart data. With
the Siemens Healthineers Digital Ecosystem, we are providing our
customers with much deeper insights than previously possible into
the key components that create both clinical and operational
value.” commented Dr. Arthur Kaindl, Head of Digital Health
Services at Siemens Healthineers. “Such a major transformation can
only be initiated by working together. Our partners are essential
to the success of this platform, and ultimately to the success of
transforming healthcare.”
The Siemens Healthineers Digital Ecosystem is based on the
cloud-based network teamplay1, which has been recognized for its
handling of data privacy2 and is already in use at hundreds of
customer sites. It brings together a number of additional platforms
such as LifeNet or the Point of Care (POC) Informatics solution
from Siemens Healthineers. Built on Microsoft Azure cloud platform,
it currently contains several million data records, providing, for
example, insight into the level of utilization of imaging devices
in a clinic or the associated radiation doses. Because data
security and privacy are taken very seriously, the cloud-based
network offers different privacy levels to support compliance with
local regulations2.
Opening development of the ecosystem to companies such as
application, service and solution providers, device manufacturers,
platform developers or data providers, results in a shared digital
platform on which Siemens Healthineers and its partners can offer
applications and services for healthcare providers to support
decision-making and increase productivity. Arterys, Dell EMC,
SecondOpinions.com, Stroll Health, SyntheticMR, 3D Slicer, TMC,
USARAD and Viewics already agreed to provide applications and
technologies for the Siemens Healthineers Digital Ecosystem, and
the platform is open for additional partners. At the conference in
Orlando, Siemens Healthineers will present an initial prototype of
its digital platform, with single-sign-on access to its partners’
applications and services. The platform is planned to be
commercially available in the fall of 2017.

1 teamplay is not yet commercially available in some countries.
No undertakings can be given as to its future availability due to
the special legal provisions pertaining to medical devices. More
detailed information can be obtained from the relevant local
Siemens organization.
2 teamplay – CORE applications: teamplay Dose, teamplay Usage
and teamplay Protocols – has been awarded with the European Privacy
Seal and the German “Seal of Privacy for IT products” of the
Independent Centre for Privacy Protection in Schleswig-Holstein
