Delcam Launches Dedicated Web Site for Healthcare Division
CADCAM developer Delcam has established a dedicated web site for its Healthcare Division as part of the greater focus on this increasingly important part of its business. The new web site, www.delcam-healthcare.com, shows how companies across the medical, dental and associated industries have been able to apply Delcam’s software to give a higher quality service to their patients. It incorporates five mini-sites describing Delcam’s solutions in five key areas; dental restorations, custom orthotic insoles, medical implants, orthopaedic footwear and maxillofacial prosthetics.
The Healthcare Division provides engineering-based software solutions to enable medical professionals to design improved medical devices and to streamline processes, whilst reducing patient trauma and keeping waiting times to a minimum. These solutions combine Delcam’s 40 years of CADCAM development with expert advice from a panel of experienced medical partners and state-of-the-art hardware technology.
The common theme with all of the products is that they take existing Delcam technology and add a dedicated interface that uses imagery and terminology from the healthcare sector. This makes the software easy to learn and quick to use for healthcare professionals, even those that are not familiar with using computer-based design and manufacturing.
This approach has been successful because companies in the healthcare industry face, fundamentally, the same demands from their patients that Delcam’s traditional engineering clients see from their customers for faster delivery of better and cheaper products. Patients want to receive higher quality products and services, and they want to complete their treatment in the shortest-possible time. At the same time, healthcare companies are under pressure to provide this higher quality at lower cost and to increase their productivity to meet the growing demand. These requirements can only be met through the application of more advanced and more automated technology.
Delcam’s increased emphasis on the healthcare industry comes at a time when the sector is expanding rapidly and when it is much more receptive to computer-based technology. The aging population in industrialised countries and the growing affluence of the emerging economies mean that the healthcare industry is seeing global growth. Through its existing engineering business, Delcam is established in more than 80 countries worldwide and so can provide international support to larger healthcare providers and original equipment manufacturers.
Equally, Delcam’s focus on the toolmaking and subcontracting industries means that the company’s staff are used to dealing with smaller companies on a local level. All Delcam offices, whether they are wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures or independent resellers, are renowned for the high level of support that they provide to all their customers.
