ONE HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY
Data-driven development of a digital ecosystem management
The One Health and sustainability approach considers human health in close connection with its environment. In the face of climate change, the healthcare system faces major challenges that require both adaptation and innovative solutions.
Climate-friendly measures such as sustainable procurement processes and the reduction of the ecological footprint are essential to making the healthcare system more resilient. At the same time, climate change – for example, through more frequent heat waves – poses significant risks for certain population groups.
Our solutions:
- Sustainability strategies: We support you in developing transparent concepts and provide practical methods and tools to promote a sustainable approach in the healthcare sector.
- CO2 reduction: With digital tools and sensor technology, we enable the development of effective ecosystem management to reduce emissions.
- Health protection: We develop intelligent dashboards that monitor and manage local health risks such as heat waves or the outbreak of human or animal diseases.
With our expertise, we create sustainable and future-oriented solutions for a healthy interaction between humans, animals and the environment.
