Medical Informatics Corp. (MIC) recently secured a reselling agreement with Australian-owned integrated health care technology company, Wilhelm to improve health care in Australia and New Zealand, according to a press release.
“Critical to moving health care forward is the ability to provide the right level of care to the right patient at the right time, most effectively leveraging the staff and resources hospitals have available now,” CEO and co-founder of MIC, Emma Fauss, said. “In addition to providing access to more expert eyes for patients needing care, the unlocking, storing and harnessing of patient data allows for improved individualized care while making strides in the advancement of care for all through AI and machine learning.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Wilhelm will be authorized to resell MIC’s FDA-Cleared Sickbay™ Clinical Platform in Australia and New Zealand.
Through this collaboration, both companies hope to minimize the hardships faced by the health care industry, such as staff and bed shortages, and the inability to store patient data due to lack of storage, interoperability and unavailable access to electronic medical record technology.
“By leveraging technology to automate workflows and supporting staff on the floors virtually using software, we can have a direct impact on patient care and staff efficiency. The addition of MIC’s Sickbay platform to our digital health portfolio comes at the perfect time, as the demands being placed on our hospitals and health care workers continues to grow,” managing director, Wilhelm, Chad Wilhelm, said.
MIC has committed to providing “foundational singular, interconnected architecture needed to help hospitals and health care systems in the region solve these challenges.”
Wilhelm’s technology is designed to improve the quality of modular design, construction, infection control, safety and digital health processes. The company agreed to the collaboration with MIC in hopes of creating “new and novel remote monitoring and virtual care workflows as well as a full longitudinal view of the patient record to expedite root cause analysis, time to intervention, care collaboration and documentation,” a recent press release expresses.
"With Sickbay, Wilhelm clients will be able to seamlessly integrate devices so that data is immediately available to empower decision support and workflows for an improved standard of care," Fauss of MIC said. “We are thrilled to partner with Wilhelm to expand our international footprint and help advance standards of care worldwide.”
