Getinge Launches Servo TwinView for Ventilators

Getinge, global medtech company, has released its Servo TwinView as a twin to the company’s Servo ventilators. 
 
The Servo TwinView allows healthcare professionals to remotely view ventilator data so that experts can provide a second opinion and support IUC staff. 
 
“We are constantly working on expanding our offering of digital solutions to support and enhance high acuity care workflows,” said Getinge’s acute therapies president, Elin Frostehav. “Our latest innovation, Servo TwinView, is a virtual twin to our renown ventilators, and first to benefit from it are the Servo-u and Servo-n models. Servo TwinView provides medical staff with near real-time view of the data displayed on the ventilator screen, without having to access the actual ventilator in the ICU.”
 
“The ICU is a sensitive environment with patients that are often critically ill, recovering from major surgeries, experiencing organ failure, severe trauma, or facing other complex medical issues. Servo TwinView opens the possibility to follow therapies without disturbing these patients and their relatives, explained Cecilia Sjöstedt, Vice President of Critical Care at Getinge. “It enables hospitals to increase effectiveness of daily routines such as rounding and handover, supporting onboarding and training away from the patient room, potentially improving workflow and thereby freeing up time and costly clinical resources.”
 
Getinge gained input in the development of Servo TwinView through a pre-study that included end-user involvement. Substantial focus was spent ensuring that shared information was able to be securely and easily viewed and analyzed on computers, tables, and smartphones. 
 
Frostehav continued, “This virtual twin of the physical ventilator is connected via Wi-Fi and the data is handled according to the individual hospital’s policies. We have put a lot of efforts into optimizing cyber security for this solution. We hope Servo TwinView will become a great tool for many hospitals around the world, assisting them in their digital transformation journeys.”
