Munich, Hilversum, November 2, 2011 – NEC will showcase new innovative solutions that enhance patient care and elevate performance in healthcare institutions at the world’s largest medical fair, MEDICA , November 16-19, 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. NEC will bring together the comprehensive range of products and solutions offered by its divisions NEC Unified Solutions and NEC Display Solutions Europe , and present a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art solutions specifically aimed at enhancing efficiency and quality of care in various key locations of hospitals and other healthcare environments. These include hospital entrance/reception, reading room, operating room, standard office, training/conference and quality assurance, but also elderly homes, clinics and doctor’s practices.

During the fair, NEC will present 'Innovation for Life’, Integrated communication solutions for CARE & CURE. Providing significant cost savings and efficiency-enhancing solutions that improve the quality of patient-centered care, visitors will be able to update themselves on the latest Unified Communications & Collaboration tools for healthcare, including NEC’s Business ConneCT application.
