How we innovate
Backed by an annual research and development investment of €1.5 billion and about 23,000 technical intellectual property rights, including more than 14,000 granted patents, we constantly bring breakthrough innovations to market – for the benefit of patients, medical professionals, and society. Here's how we do that.
Innovation is in our DNA. In my opinion it is a process driven by interdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue. However, it only acquires value and significance when it is made useful to people.

Did you know?
Driving the digital transformation of healthcare
We’re currently focusing on innovative solutions for:
Cardiology

Neurology
Oncology
Innovating for impact
No matter how digitally enhanced the practice of medicine will be, in the end patients won’t look for platforms, but for outcomes which really matter to them. Value is created by early and correct diagnosis. Value is created by treating as effectively and as individually as possible. That is why we focus on precision medicine.
