Creating impact with innovation
More time for patient care
Care providers need more time to focus on what matters most: patient care. That is why we work closely with them, to simplify workflows, automate tasks, and provide them with actionable, data-driven insights in the moments that matter.
Expand access to care
We help transform care in the hospital and the home by delivering innovations that expand access to care.
Take care of health and well-being
People at home and patients want to be empowered to proactively manage their own health and well-being. We use consumer insights to develop self-care products that make this easier for them.
How we innovate
We innovate with people at the center and work closely with clinical and technology partners. Our innovation approach is integrated: multi-functional teams drive innovations from start to finish, to deliver fast-paced, high-quality results. And we invest in scalable initiatives that set new standards to benefit as many customers, patients, and consumers as possible.
