The Capital Region of Denmark has selected Sibel Health, an award-winning medical technology company spun out of the Querrey-Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics at Northwestern University, for a long-term innovation partnership along with Dräger to deploy advanced continuous monitoring in the hospital setting after a highly competitive, multi-year global selection process. Sibel Health manufactures the FDA-cleared ANNE® One monitoring platform powered by clinical-grade wearables for all vital signs. For the Capital Region of Denmark, new monitoring technologies are needed to address staffing shortages, an increase in patient load, and the move to single rooms. This novel tendering process using the EU innovation partnership format provides a completely new model for procurement—a focus on the problem first, in an open, rigorously competitive process. After a collaborative joint innovation phase, the final solution will be deployed in multiple leading Copenhagen area hospitals.
