May 11, 2022 – B. Braun Medical Inc. today announced a collaboration agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), one of the nation’s leading research hospitals, to jointly develop innovative solutions to help frontline healthcare workers improve patient care and reduce the daily stress brought on by unprecedented workplace demands.
The collaboration will focus on bringing to life nursing ideas and business models to deliver care more efficiently and productively, while also enhancing the work life and well-being of care teams.
The innovation teams that will form under the collaboration will consist of interdisciplinary colleagues from B. Braun and MGH. By combining B. Braun’s dedicated, cross-functional incubator team with over 200 years of commercial, technology and operational expertise, along with MGH’s tremendous clinical and healthcare expertise, the teams can rapidly push the boundaries of technology in healthcare, especially in addressing digital documentation fatigue, the companies said.
B. Braun and MGH plan to publish the various findings that come out of this collaborative, with the hope of pursuing commercialization of technologies that have the strongest potential for adoption by other healthcare systems.
