ZEISS recently surpassed a major milestone with more than 2.5 million cases supported on its cloud-based Health Data Platform, reflecting a rapid adoption of new digital technologies that are reshaping ophthalmology. The ZEISS Health Data Platform is the digital backbone of the ZEISS Medical Ecosystem, powering connectivity, data integration, and digital applications across clinical workflows to advance the digital transformation of healthcare.
“With the Health Data Platform, ZEISS puts the power of data at scale directly into the hands of clinicians,” said Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., President of Ophthalmology and Head of the Digital Business Unit for ZEISS Medical Technology. “For surgeons and clinicians, this allows for the creation of digitally connected workflows and tailored treatment paths that best suit the unique needs of their practice and patients. And
with the Health Data Platform expanding into the cloud, clinical staff have even more options for efficiently managing their digital backbone.”
The cloud-based Health Data Platform from ZEISS provides a secure and compliant* infrastructure for the aggregation and management of the massive data sets generated daily in medical practices, facilitating data sharing between medical devices, healthcare systems and digital applications. Doctors and healthcare professionals can securely access data from anywhere, anytime**.
For example, the ZEISS VERACITY Surgery Planner can leverage data from electronic healthcare records (EHR), biometric devices and diagnostic images, and digital tools and algorithms for IOL selection, before passing the final surgery plan through the workflow to connected devices in the operating room. Another example is the ZEISS Surgery Optimizer application which uses artificial intelligence to segment the stages of a surgical procedure, enabling more efficient reviews and comparisons between surgical videos.
Connected digital applications and AI tools can streamline processes and analyze data at scale, supporting a better patient experience, standardization of practice, efficient delivery of high-quality care, and improved outcomes.
