Mentice AB announces it has revised its previous business collaboration with Siemens Healthineers China in the robotics space and is expanding its activities towards a new segment focused on the metaverse.
Siemens Healthineers China recently increased its education and innovation business, which now incorporates Mentice VIST © image-guided simulation solutions and targets the growing hospital market of over 1,000 new hospitals per year*.
The first showcase of this business cooperation was the 87th China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) in Shanghai, May 14-17, 2023, where Siemens Healthineers China showcased Mentice VIST © simulators as part of its Metaverse Educational Applications and ‘Digital Twin’ concept.
“We are pleased to announce our continued efforts in the Chinese market with Siemens Healthineers that underline the commitment to supporting physicians’ procedural and device adoption initiatives,” states Göran Malmberg, CEO of Mentice AB. “Our image-guided interventional simulation solutions offer a safe, highly realistic, and scalable method to support interventional doctors across China, in turn benefiting the wider healthcare system.”
