Telekom invests in AI assistants for the healthcare sector
Published
Deutsche Telekom has invested in the start-up Tandem Health. The company is developing an AI-supported medical assistant that is intended to support healthcare professionals in their daily work. The investment was made through the subsidiary T-Systems.
The market for digital health solutions is growing rapidly in Germany and in other countries. More and more hospitals, medical practices and care facilities are looking for software that eases routine tasks and saves time. Artificial intelligence is considered an important technology in this area.
With the stake, Telekom aims to strengthen its position in this field. According to sources, the assistant is to relieve healthcare professionals by, for example, organising information and preparing documentation. Details about the amount of the investment were not given in the available information.
For patients, the development is primarily a matter of quality and data protection. Digital applications in the healthcare sector are subject to strict rules in Germany. Whether and when the assistant will be used on a larger scale is not yet known.
