In this episode of Talking HealthTech, we dive into the fascinating world of healthcare innovation.
Host Peter Birch speaks with Peter Rady, Chief Commercial Officer and Brendan Tang, Chief Executive Officer of Medicity and Streamline Solutions Group, about how tech and healthcare are teaming up to change the game for everyone involved.
This episode was recorded at the Medicity booth during Australian Healthcare Week.
Medicitys Big Move with Streamline
Medicity's story just got a major twist. After years of working closely with Streamline Solutions, theyve officially joined forces. Medicity started out with Streamline as partners, working on products like the original Eve. Fast forward a few years, and now Streamlines taken Medicity into their fold. Peter Rady says it's a great outcome because they all know each other as they worked together closely for eight years, highlighting how well these two have gelled over the years.
Getting to Know Streamline Solutions
Brendan gives us the lowdown on Streamline's shift into the healthcare focus. Originally dabbling across sectors like government and finance since the '90s, theyve gradually zoomed in on healthcare. One big move was partnering with MePACS, helping elderly folks with personal emergency responses. An unexpected meeting with Cabrini during a trade mission to China sparked a new chapter, leading to major collaborations and, eventually, them bringing Medicity on board.
The Cabrini Connection
Medicity's earlier days were about being part of Cabrini Health, which gave them a unique edge by blending tech with clinical expertise. This partnership was key in rolling out eCaptis, a product thats been making waves. Even though Medicity is now part of Streamline, the bond with Cabrini is here to stay, ensuring a continuous stream of collaboration and innovation.
Building on Solid Ground
With Streamline pulling Medicity into the fold, its a fresh start for creating nifty healthcare products. Using Medicitys Eve framework, theyre looking to expand into different hospital departments. They can now start to develop new products for other parts of the hospital using the same concept as Eve. This means more scalable and adaptable solutions are just around the corner.
Streamlines Strategy Across the Board
Bringing Medicity into Streamline fits perfectly with their plan to use tried-and-tested approaches across various fields. By focusing on creating robust platforms, Streamline sets up clinicians and healthcare providers with the tools they need to boost patient care. Brendan sums it up: "To make sure that Medicity could grow properly, it made more sense to be under one single company."
Whats Next for Healthcare Innovation?
Looking to the future, the blend of tech and healthcare continues to be the talk of the town. Medicity and Streamlines story shows how important it is to embrace change, be adaptable, and work together. Their products are designed to bring specific solutions to key areas in healthcare. The road ahead is paved with possibilities, and were excited to see where it leads.
