DIGITAL HEALTH
AI-driven technologies can support healthcare providers The use of artificial intelligence in medical imaging is resulting in more efficient processes and subsequently greater productivity , so naturally Siemens Financial Services has been seeing a lot of demand in this area .
“ Take radiology for example ,” says Pinnock . “ Machines equipped with the latest tech can use AI-based algorithms for diagnostic purposes , speeding up workflows and highlighting abnormalities with greater precision than ever before .”
Siemens Financial Services can help healthcare providers acquire this equipment in a number of ways , through the use of a hire purchase agreement for example where the cost of the equipment is spread over an agreed period of time , at the end of which the customer has an option to own it outright .
“ Alternatively , a finance leasing arrangement can be a cost-effective alternative , where we retain ownership of the equipment and the customer leases it at no up-front cost , instead spreading payments over an agreed period and returning the equipment at the end of the term ,” adds Pinnock . By impacting the delivery of care , patient outcomes and operational costs for healthcare systems the world over , Siemens Financial Services can enable these digital investments to make a positive contribution to efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare delivery and access , as well as patient outcomes both short-term and long-term . This can reduce the social cost of rising overall demand and lifetime healthcare costs . healthcare-digital . com 73
