Promising opportunities in the healthcare sector: Philips Health Care is a new strategic partner

The Institute of Nursing Science at IMC Krems is delighted to have found a new strategic partner in Philips. The agreement was signed in conjunction with Helmut Menyhart, who has been overseeing and playing a key role in shaping the IMC Krems Health Labs for many years.

Helmut Menyhart, Philips Senior Clinical Application Specialist; Markus Golla, Head of the Institute of Nursing Science and Programme Director for Health and Nursing at IMC Krems; Stefan Hütt, Institute of Nursing Science and Programme Director for Advanced Nursing Practice at IMC Krems; Franziska Gagern, Philips Account Manager for Hospital Patient Monitoring; and Bernhard Dollensky, Chief Operating Officer at IMC Krems.

This collaboration marks the start of further digitalisation projects and targeted equipment initiatives. The Bachelor’s programme in Health and Nursing and the Master’s programme in Advanced Nursing Practice will benefit in particular.

Joint Research

The collaboration with Philips is also set to extend to joint research projects, such as in the area of alarm fatigue, where there is already some overlap. The ever-present topic of AI has also fully established itself in research and development within the healthcare sector, and here too there are opportunities for students and in teaching from which both partners can benefit.

Markus Golla, Head of the Institute of Nursing Science at IMC Krems and Programme Director for Health and Nursing; Stefan Hütt, Head of the Institute of Nursing Science at IMC Krems and Programme Director for Advanced Nursing Practice; and Bernhard Dollensky, Chief Operating Officer at IMC Krems, spoke with Helmut Menyhart, Philips Senior Clinical Application Specialist, and Franziska Gagern, Philips Account Manager for Hospital Patients.
