Siemens says digitalization of healthcare key in the Philippines
20-Sep-17, Malaya Business Insight
Healthcare can be an expensive, inaccesible but necessary service in the Philippines. The biggest healthcare challenges include access, because the Philippines is an archipelago, affordability because the cost of healthcare follows a formula that makes it an expense, and finally availability because there are more people than facilities can cater to.

Siemens Healthineers is trying to solve this problem through the digitalization of healthcare. The mission is to redefine the healthcare strategy to move away from the product-centric model into providing value-centric services. The strategy is redefining both the company and the industry where it leads.
Technologies such as artificial intelligence help interpret X-ray, CT or MRI scans, and machine learning compiles all this knowledge to make both real time and predictive analyses.
