Honeywell, IHI to drive digital transformation of healthcare sector

Industrial

Honeywell will partner with Influence Healthcare International (IHI), a full-service healthcare solutions, management, advisory and consulting company, to drive digital transformation in the Middle East, Russia, Turkey and Africa’s (MERTA) healthcare sector

This agreement will see both companies providing high-quality healthcare solutions and supporting healthcare sector participants, while reducing costs, optimising hospital operations and enhancing the overall patient experience.

The partnership will combine the global expertise in automation, mobile communication, productivity products and solutions, and cloud-enabled predictive analytics of Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS) with the healthcare transformation capabilities of IHI to create ultra-safe healthcare solutions.

Under the collaboration, IHI will be able to leverage Honeywell’s technology expertise for healthcare environments, including nurse call systems, RFID solutions, remote patient monitoring and mobile barcode scanners, among others. IHI will provide consultancy services, operational transformation solutions and consultancy training, coaching and leadership services.

The combination of Honeywell’s technologies, IHI’s application of the Japanese Toyota Production System (TPS) – also the foundation for Honeywell’s Honeywell Operating System (HOS) –  and the companies’ deep sector expertise, allows them to design and implement ultra-safe, cost-effective and customised hospital transformation solutions and next-generation integrated care communication platforms for the healthcare industry.

“We are committed to connecting people, assets and processes to allow customers in the healthcare sector to make timely informed decisions based on real-time data, improving their performance and patient experience,” said Miroslav Kafedzhiev, vice-president and general manager for Honeywell SPS, High-Growth Regions.

Dr Mohammad Shanti, chairman and CEO at IHI, stated, “Our healthcare systems and transformation capabilities, together with Honeywell’s products and solutions, will advance the adoption of digitalisation in the healthcare sector, while significantly increasing the throughput as well as the quality of products and services.”
