Medical technology
Digitalisation of medical technology is changing the rules of play in competition and placing the business models of established companies under scrutiny.
The market for medical technology companies is facing radical change: Consolidations and the growing number of purchasing alliances are increasing pressure on existing business models. In addition, growth and profitability are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve owing to stricter regulations such as MDR and cost pressure in healthcare.
New opportunities with new technologies
New technologies offer many opportunities in this respect. They are already used to drive operational efficiency or smart networking in the Internet of Medical Things, and yet they can do even more. Through big data analyses, they can help to improve use and utilisation of devices and enable more precise diagnosis of illnesses. Additional optimisation potential can be leveraged in service through the use of Augmented Reality. These are just two of many examples of how digitalisation allows innovations to flourish so that companies are solidly positioned for growth in the future too.

Poster on service meshes in microservice architectures
Service meshes generate a network abstraction for container-based applications and services in order to simplify their management. bbv’s DIN A2 poster explains the architecture of service meshes, highlights their popular features and looks especially at the topics of security, traffic management, telemetry and reliability.
PosterPoster on the topic of user-centered design
Focusing product development as a whole on end users is the basic motto of user-centered design. The DIN A2 poster of the same name explains the most important principles, illustrates the cycle of request, solution and evaluation and lists the various advantages this process offers. A poster for every product owner and project manager.

Chancen und Risiken von KI-Agenten
“An AI agent has to undergo a probationary period”
AI agents carry out their tasks largely autonomously – risk or opportunity? Cedric Klinkert, AI engineer at bbv Software Services, explains how the decisions of AI agents can be understood thanks to an “inner monologue”.
Greater efficiency and automation thanks to generative AI
How AI agents are revolutionising our working world
AI agents communicate with and control apps, code or databases – partially or highly autonomously – and therefore make companies more efficient. However, a solid business case is needed.
