Scientists have developed an innovative low-cost laparoscope that could dramatically increase access to minimally invasive surgery in developing nations. The device, called KeyScope, delivers comparable imaging performance to standard hospital systems but costs just $1,000 compared to over $130,000 for conventional equipment.
Healthcare delivery costs are rising at an unprecedented rate across major economies, significantly outpacing both GDP growth and inflation, according to comprehensive new research from Siemens Financial Services (SFS). The analysis reveals a widening sustainability gap that threatens the fundamental viability of healthcare systems worldwide.
Healthcare technology leader sets ambitious targets for patient reach and environmental impact while achieving workforce diversity milestone ahead of schedule.
Alex Fong, Insights and Sustainability Lead at Owen Mumford, explores how life-cycle assessment (LCA) is transforming the design of drug delivery devices. With single-use auto-injectors generating 400g CO₂e per unit, Fong presents innovative approaches to reduce environmental impact while maintaining critical safety standards.
In this insightful analysis, Fabio Zaniboni, Founder & Chief Vision Officer at BubblyNet, examines how Internet of Things (IoT) technology is revolutionizing hospital operations. Drawing from over two decades of experience in IoT and digital transformation, Zaniboni demonstrates how smart building solutions can simultaneously reduce energy consumption, automate regulatory compliance, and enhance patient outcomes through […]
In a significant move towards addressing the healthcare sector’s environmental impact, Joint Commission International (JCI) has announced the launch of its Healthcare Sustainability Certification (HSC) programme. Developed in collaboration with the International Hospital Federation’s Geneva Sustainability Centre (GSC), this new certification is set to become available from 1 January 2025 for healthcare organisations outside the […]
The very nature of healthcare, and in particular, pharma, makes sustainability particularly challenging. Patient safety and drug efficacy should remain the greatest priority for healthcare organisations and practitioners, but how do we find the balance between creating a more sustainable future in the drug delivery device sector while also maintaining product quality and safety?
