Siemens Healthineers has opened a new center in Erlangen, Germany, focused on fostering collaborations among clinical and academic partners, as well as other companies and startups.
The company's innovation center will be home to various teams, such as the ASOR (All Sorts of Reality) community, which is engaged in the development of extended reality applications, and will operate under the motto, "Think Global, Act Local," Siemens said.
The new center in Erlangen will complement an existing ecosystem of centers in Shanghai, China, and Bengaluru, India.
The goal is to jointly focus on new technologies and value-added processes that have the potential to disrupt the healthcare system for the benefit of patients, according to the vendor. By promoting open collaborations and projects, more people around the world will have access to high-quality medical care – from precise diagnosis to the right therapy, it noted.
