OxygenCare, a leading provider of life-saving medical equipment and solutions based in Kilmacanogue, Co Wicklow, has introduced a new nursing app which will help modify their routines, support their decision making and free up more time to provide care.
The family-run company has a legacy of more than 50 years in healthcare and more than 30 years in digital clinical solutions, and continues to improve patient care through innovative digital healthcare solutions.
They also supply and service a range of products in the areas of anaesthesia, monitoring, ventilation, clinical information management systems, ultrasound and infant care as well as emergency care equipment including defibrillators, suction and oxygen therapy and respiratory.
The latest addition to their expanding portfolio is the Medanets integrated point-of-care nursing app, having teamed-up with the Finnish company who provide the app.
Digital health manager at OxygenCare, Stephen Nicholson said: “Medanets simplifies nursing routines, supports decision making, complements and integrates with EHR (electronic health record) systems, and releases time to care for patients.”
The Medanets integrated nursing app supports point-of-care documentation and immediate access to key patient data.
Managing director of OxygenCare, Maurice Moran added: “Medanets’ offering complements our portfolio, and we see strong market potential. Together, we are currently conducting exploratory efforts in the market to identify opportunities and tailor our approach to local needs.
“Through this new partnership, all care phases can be managed digitally through a single provider. This partnership marks a promising step toward improving healthcare outcomes in Ireland and underscores the strength of collaboration in driving innovation forward.”
Combining OxygenCare’s connectivity solutions with Medanets’ mobile solutions can provide significant added value to organisations already using an electronic health record and to hospitals beginning their digital journey.
Medanets CEO Juha-Matti Ranta said: “Medanets’ dedicated digital health team and prior experience in delivering complex ICU and anaesthesia systems make them an ideal partner for us. On top of that, their deep market knowledge and the impression made by their team further solidified our confidence in this partnership. It seems we are a natural fit in both values and working style..
“We can offer healthcare providers a fast-track way to modernise operations, even in settings where an EHR is not yet in place. For instance, Medanets supports ‘lightweight IT’ approaches, such as sending PDFs directly to a document archive—a direct impactful step forward in digital empowerment.”
