Empowering Better Data for Better Care: Nihon Kohden Joins OR.NET e.V.

We are excited to announce that Nihon Kohden has officially joined OR.NET e.V., reinforcing our commitment to advancing the Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) standard and contributing to a smarter, more seamlessly connected healthcare ecosystem.

In addition, Nihon Kohden has introduced its Digital Health Platform (DHP), an advanced Medical IT solution designed to enhance data accessibility, support customized integrations, and drive continuous innovation. By enabling the integration of medical device data and waveforms, as well as  clinical system data into various viewer options, a data stream option for clinical algorithms, and a data repository for research, the platform streamlines healthcare workflows and strengthens overall interoperability.

In today’s healthcare environment, integrability and interoperability are essential requirements. Through SDC and the Nihon Kohden Digital Health Platform, we provide the fundament for vendor-agnostic, seamless transfer and visualization of data and waveforms between medical devices, to central review stations and into IT systems. This level of connectivity unlocks the true value of patient and device data, supporting improved clinical decision-making and operational efficiency.

Service-oriented Device Connectivity can only work based on collaboration among industry leaders, which may be a paradigm change away from mostly proprietary solution design. However, it allows eliminating data silos and creating integrable ecosystems that empower innovation for the sake of better data for better patient care.

Nihon Kohden is committed to contribute to creating a better future for people and healthcare by solving global medical issues.
