• About Intel in Healthcare

• Intel recognizes that its work in the healthcare industry is not about solving technology problems; it’s about solving people problems. The challenge inspires Intel to pursue technology definition and product development, as well as to serve in an advisory role. A prime example is guiding hospitals through the process of deploying key technologies, such as wireless networking. Intel does so by lending hospitals the design expertise of its solutions specialists, as well as by engaging the solution delivery expertise of third-party service providers.

These efforts align with the company’s overall Digital Health initiative, which draws on Intel’s heritage of technology innovation to help usher in improvements in the fundamental areas of healthcare quality, access and cost.
