Getinge has expanded its investment in digital healthcare by opening a new Digital OR Hub in Hamburg, Germany, with the aim of accelerating development of an intelligent operating room ecosystem across the entire perioperative pathway. The new facility combines software development and clinical expertise to support the company’s strategy of delivering connected digital solutions that span pre-operative planning, intra-operative execution, and post-operative care. Getinge Opens Digital OR Hub marks a step toward creating a unified digital environment designed to improve coordination and efficiency for healthcare providers managing increasingly complex surgical cases.
The company said hospitals are handling a growing number of procedures that demand greater collaboration across surgical teams, making conventional software approaches less effective in meeting evolving clinical requirements. To address these challenges, the Hamburg-based center has been developed around real surgical workflows rather than standardized software models. By aligning digital capabilities with day-to-day clinical practice, Getinge aims to provide flexible and scalable solutions that better support operating room teams while strengthening connectivity throughout the perioperative process.
Charlotte Enlund, VP, Digital Health Solutions, Getinge, said: “Technology alone is not the goal. What clinical teams need are solutions that are flexible, scalable, and designed for real-life challenges. AI and connected workflows are reshaping how hospitals operate, and the bar for what good software must deliver is rising. For a digital MedTech company at the forefront of that shift, Hamburg is where we build what clinical teams need next.”
The company added that the Digital OR Hub is intended to strengthen the relationship between clinical requirements and software innovation while encouraging closer collaboration between development teams and healthcare professionals. Matthias Rath, director, Getinge product management & business development, Digital OR Solutions, said: “This investment is not only about where we work, but how we work. It creates the conditions for closer collaboration, accelerates development, and lays the foundation for a connected OR ecosystem. Delivered as a service designed to support healthcare providers.” Through this initiative, Getinge Opens Digital OR Hub as part of its broader effort to advance connected operating room technologies and support digital transformation across surgical care.
