See how mobile point-of-care is improving medical processes. This video looks at the Reference Centre of the Asklepios Future Hospital Programme in Barmbek, Germany. The medical staff is using mobile point of care solutions so they can make timely, more informed decisions for their patients. The project has been so successful Asklepios intends to introduce similar technology at other hospitals in its network.

This video looks at how Arras Hospital, considered to be one of the most advanced digital hospitals in France, has implemented technology solutions to improve nurse workflows in its gynecology ward.
