Fresenius Helios expands preventive medicine offering

Fresenius Helios has opened a new Helios Prevention Center in Berlin, as the company continues the expansion of its occupational medicine activities into a standalone business area. The modern, 440-square-meter (4,700-square-foot) center in the heart of Germany’s capital offers comprehensive check-ups from a single source. HCP patients are accompanied throughout the check-up by their own personal physician, and do not have to search for the right department for their next test, deal with different contact persons, or face long waiting times. And if a test turns up something requiring medical treatment, the patient has direct access to the Helios healthcare network and an exclusive hotline for making appointments with specialists.

Fresenius Medical Care North America invests in innovative medical wearable venture

Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA) has announced an investment in BioIntelliSense, a Denver-based company that is developing a medical grade data services platform for continuous remote health monitoring, predictive analytics and algorithmic clinical insights.
