"This advanced ICU at Apollo Hospitals reflects a shared commitment to patient care and clinical excellence. Through this collaboration, we aim to gain valuable insights from real-world clinical environment that can help inform the development of technologies designed to support clinicians and improve patient care in India and around the world."
Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, said, "Critical care is where every decision, every minute and every intervention can make the difference between life and loss. As medicine becomes increasingly data-driven, our responsibility is not only to bring the best technologies to India but to ensure they meaningfully improve clinical decisions and patient outcomes. Our partnership with Medtronic reflects a shared commitment to reimagining the future of critical care by combining advanced monitoring technologies with the expertise of our clinicians and the power of digital innovation. Together, we are building ICUs that are more connected, more intelligent and better equipped to anticipate deterioration, enable timely interventions and deliver truly personalised care.
