Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and German medical digital integration group S-Cape revealed updated, fully connected operating rooms at a Spanish hospital today.
The Andalusia region public healthcare service invested $1.27 million (EU €1.2 million) in creating a new operating room at Seville’s University Hospital Virgen Del Rocío, designed specifically for general and digestive surgery, according to Fridley, Minn.-based Medtronic.
The company said it partnered with the hospital to help develop the new operating room, the company said. The upgrade brings the total number of operating rooms at the hospital to 5, with the latest being equipped with connected technologies.
Other operating rooms were updated with features including automated work flows, advanced visualization capabilities and procedure recording, the companies said. Monitors and connected multimedia rooms were also added to allow for remote viewing and streaming of procedures to students, according to Medtronic.
Earlier this month, Medtronic said it joined Masimo (NSDQ:MASI) CEO Joe Kiani’s Patient Safety Movement Foundation with a $5 million, 5-year commitment.
By joining the program, Medtronic will provide $5 million over 5 years and share anonymized data from its medical devices to help develop analytic programs to help improve patient safety, according to a Patient Safety Movement Foundation release.
In addition, Medtronic CEO Omar Ishrak is slated to join the Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s board of directors.
