Innovations with impact
We cannot predict the future, but we can prepare for a future that is increasingly unpredictable. With creativity, courage, and the power to get things done, we are preparing to master tomorrow’s challenges with today’s innovations.
Medicine today primarily focuses on treating disease – but in the future, it will increasingly be able to prevent disease. We are forming a healthcare system that is becoming more personalized, more precise, more preventative, and more supportive. Right now, creative minds around the world are generating outstanding ideas for our future. And together with our partners, we are transforming those ideas into innovations that serve healthcare professionals and make optimal care accessible to everyone.
How we innovate
Augmented reality
AR has arrived in the operating room
I never imagined that the image of the object would be in such high resolution. I had seen the photorealistic image on the computer screen, but seeing a spatial representation of the heart in 3D in this quality is something else altogether.

Artificial intelligence
AI helps physicians make more informed decisions
Whenever analyses are too difficult, time-consuming, or inefficient to perform alone, artificial intelligence (AI) provides valuable assistance to clinical professionals, allowing them to stay focused on their patients and better use their own expertise.
AI applications will allow us to diagnose patients faster, more consistently, and with fewer errors, so we stand to gain not only time but also confidence – confidence in the robustness of the diagnosis and time to talk to the patient.
Ralf Bauer, MD, partner at RNS Gemeinschaftspraxis Wiesbaden
AI-enabled tools identify meaningful relationships in raw data, extract relevant insights, and apply those lessons to new patient cases. By helping physicians make more informed clinical decisions, AI is an indispensable tool in all fields of healthcare, including drug development, patient care, and operational decisions.

Robotics
Physicians are interacting more and more closely with robotic technology – and utilizing its strengths
Technology reinvented
It’s not just about reinventing technology – it’s also about making it accessible
Improving the speed and reliability of in vitro diagnostics doesn’t just make labs more profitable – it also helps to save lives! Making MRI systems less costly, more mobile, and easier to use will open the door to new clinical scenarios and improved imaging availability. And by redefining the way computed tomography (CT) acquires images, CT will become the imaging method of choice for more patients in cardiology, oncology, pulmonology, and other clinical areas. These are just three of the many technologies that we continue to reinvent so that they can reach everyone - whenever and wherever they are needed.
We don’t have the luxury of just hitting refresh when we have an error. An error could mean redrawing a pediatric blood sample or delaying a critical medical decision in an emergency room. Everyone in the diagnostics business understands that improving the speed and reliability of in vitro diagnostics doesn’t just help improve the profits of labs; it helps save lives.
