Getinge recently opened the company’s new Experience Center in Wayne, New Jersey with a special virtual event involving leaders from health care, technology and government. The event featured demonstrations of the latest advances in technology to help hospitals drive efficiencies and improve outcomes for patients suffering health challenges including COVID-19, cardiovascular disease and other serious illnesses.
During a virtual inaugural event hosted via LinkedIn Live, executives from Getinge together with leaders from health care and government unveiled the Experience Center, which is designed to recreate hospital and other health care settings including operating rooms and intensive care units. During the livestreamed tour participants learned about the specific applications in technology from Getinge that deliver a range of advantages across sterile processing, digital health solutions, the intensive care unit and life science including:
- advances in ventilator technology for COVID patients and others with pulmonary distress;
- a heart-lung support system that processes blood outside the body for patients in cardiac or pulmonary distress;
- a system to harvest veins for use in cardiac surgery;
- state-of-the-art sterilization systems that seamlessly integrate into existing hospital infrastructures to speed up the processes and protect patients and workers from the spread of dangerous infection including COVID; and,
- software systems and AI technologies that can help hospitals work more efficiently by managing services better so more patients can gain access to care as quickly as possible
“We are very excited and proud to launch our Experience Center, which will be a center for learning and demonstrations with our newest and most advanced technologies that improve the delivery of health care services,” said Eric Honroth, president of Getinge North America. “The center will provide health care leaders with a truly hands-on experience with our technologies, demonstrating how our solutions can increase efficiencies and enhance the patient experience.”
In addition to product demonstrations, the launch event also featured remarks highlighting Getinge’s commitment to investing in new strategies like the Experience Center that create high quality jobs and boost the economy in New Jersey.
