DIGITAL HEALTH
“ The digitisation of healthcare is only going to continue to accelerate from here on ”
PAUL BURKE SENIOR DIRECTOR , LENOVO for one reason or another , their sales motions and their sales cultures don ' t see eye to eye . That ' s not the case with LG and Lenovo .
“ We are on a very aggressive growth and customer acquisition plan ”, adds Burke . “ Myself and my North American OEM sales team are in a very similar trajectory . Bringing the two of us together , marrying our technologies , having similar visions as far as growth is concerned , it was just a natural fit for us to get together with LG .”
Moving from laptops to healthcare Lenovo is known for its computers , less for its impact in digital healthcare . Where did this additional direction come from ? “ Our legacy reaches back to the IBM days . The ThinkPad brand , and the Think brand at large is just very well known in the industry . It ' s kind of a natural extension if you will , because everything these days has gone digital .
“ With our legacy of our products , with the high quality , the extremely reliable products and the high performance , it just was a natural progression into this digital age that we ' ve all become a part of .”
With that in mind , what does the future hold for digital healthcare at Lenovo ?
“ You know , that ' s a fantastic question . I would have to say , I think we ' re only just scratching the surface ”, says Burke . “ Of course , with the explosion of electronic health records , that has absolutely fueled the marketplace . Now when we start talking about home healthcare and other technologies , the digitisation of healthcare is only going to continue to accelerate from here on . I think that we ' ve only just scratched the surface .”
