The COVID-19 pandemic came as a shock, but not a surprise. Sources around the world have been warning for years of a novel disease that could wipe out millions and crash the global economy. In February 2019, Jonathan Quick, M.D., chair of the Global Health Council, told Raconteur, a website dedicated to content for business decision-makers: “Our greatest fear is being blindsided by a new virus, most likely due to animal-human spill over, which then readily spreads from human to human, has at least a 5 to 10 percent fatality rate, does not respond to existing medicines, and for which an effective vaccine and accurate diagnostic test cannot rapidly be developed.”
SONY SUPPORTS HOSPITALS THROUGH COVID-19 WITH IMAGING PLATFORM
Sony has announced an update to its vendor-neutral medical imaging platform NUCLeUS in response to the pandemic.
This version introduces remote patient observation with new recording functionalities for use in the operating room (OR), Intensive Care Units (ICU), endoscopy suites, interventional rooms or anywhere else in the hospital.
Developed in consultation with surgeons, NUCLeUS guides clinical staff through the planning, recording and sharing of videos, still images and other patient-related data.
Ludger Philippsen, head of healthcare at Sony Professional Solutions Europe, said: Sony is committed to developing NUCLeUS to suit the needs of the patient and medical staff at all times. In the wake of the global pandemic we have helped hospitals and healthcare providers reinvent their workflows, providing medical staff with the tools they need to continue delivering excellent patient care.
