It was great news to round off last year: LOWTeq was successful in the tender for a PDMS in the neonatology department of the Vestische Caritas-Kliniken GmbH in Datteln. The implementation of LOWTeqpdms is planned for a total of 26 beds in the perinatal centre and eight beds each in the intensive care unit and the palliative care unit. LOWTeqpdms can thus make an important contribution to providing the best possible care for premature and newborn babies in the neonatology department of the Vestische Caritas-Kliniken. The aim is to gradually prepare for the go-live of LOWTeqpdms in the coming months.

The go-live of LOWTeqpdms has been successfully completed in the anaesthesia department of the Knappschaftskrankenhaus Recklinghausen. This means that another hospital of the Knappschaft Kliniken GmbH, after Bottrop and Bochum, is relying on the proven support of LOWTeq's patient data management system (PDMS). As in the other hospitals, LOWTeqpdms is enabling significant progress in digital patient care and optimising clinical workflows at the Knappschaftskrankenhaus Recklinghausen. The successful launch of the system underpins LOWTeq's position as a reliable partner for modern and integrative PDMS solutions.

The commissioning of LOWTeqpdms in the intensive care unit of the Christophorus Klinik in Coesfeld, in the beautiful Münsterland region, took place last week on schedule and without any problems. The use of LOWTeqpdms meets the Christophorus Klinik in Coesfeld's requirements for optimised patient care and more efficient workflows.

At the beginning of November 2024, the regular recertification of the quality management system (QMS) of LOWTeq GmbH was due. After the three-day audit by TÜV SÜD auditors, the result was clear: LOWTeq's quality management system has once again successfully passed recertification according to ISO 13485:2016. The recertification confirms the successful continuation and further development of LOWTeq's quality management system and underlines the high standard of its processes and structures.

This year's congress of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and Emergency Medicine, DIVI24, will take place in Hamburg from 4 to 6 December under the motto ‘Competence in the team: innovation meets experience’. Of course, LOWTeq will be there again and will present all new developments and innovations of their PDMS solutions. You will find us at stand HB-38, in hall H, area B, and we look forward to welcoming you at the congress and to exchanging professional ideas with you!

LOWTeq GmbH has opened a branch in St. Gallen to provide its Swiss customers with direct, on-site advice. Under the leadership of Tomislav Ilicic, LOWTeq is thus strengthening its regional presence and proximity to customers, enabling it to respond to specific needs and continuously improve the quality of its services.

The themed discussions and the general meeting of United Web Solutions for Healthcare e.V. took place this year at Medatixx in Bamberg. The main topic of the multi-day event was the use of artificial intelligence to optimise everyday processes in healthcare. Representatives of the member companies offered inspiring approaches and discussed practical solutions – from effective modelling and training of new AI systems in medicine to the question of how AI can be used in an economically sensible way. In this context, LOWTeq managing director Dr Aloys Oberthür, as a member of United Web Solutions, provided new impetus with his lecture ‘KI zur Erkennung von Messwertartefakten im PDMS’.

Following the Universitätsklinikum Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bochum, the anaesthesia departement of the Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bottrop has now also successfully implemented LOWTeqpdms. Here too, LOWTeqpdms is tasked with improving data management and supporting patient safety through precise, digital documentation. With the introduction of LOWTeqpdms at the Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bottrop, the rollout at the anaesthesia wards of the Knappschafts Kliniken is progressing according to plan. Implementation at the remaining hospitals will now follow step by step.

At temperatures typical of late summer and in a magnificent setting on the sunny harbour terrace in Cologne's Rheinauhafen, health start-ups and companies presented their innovative solutions for digital health topics yesterday. In this context, the two LOWTeq managing directors, Dr. Aloys Oberthür and Dr. Christoph Weigand, presented the PDMS solutions from LOWTeq GmbH and provided exciting insights into the future of digital health care. The meet-up was once again organised by Digital Health in Cologne. The KölnBusiness Wirtschaftsförderung, the Gesundheitsregion KölnBonn e.V and the IHK Köln combine their activities here to strengthen the digital health scene and support the digitalisation of the regional health industry.

LOWTeq has won the PDMS tender from GFO mbH (Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft der Franziskanerinnen zu Olpe mbH) for the intensive care units of a total of 11 hospitals. The acceptance of the bid also marked the start of the project realisation, as the go-live of LOWTeqpdms is to take place as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that LOWTeq always works to the highest quality standards, even when implementing projects in a short time frame.
