Qmed Asia has entered a strategic collaboration with Intel to accelerate the development of intelligent healthcare infrastructure for hospitals.
The collaboration centres on Qmed Asia’s Unified Patient Monitoring Solution, which is designed to consolidate patient monitoring data from multiple medical devices and clinical systems into a centralised platform.
Intel has made its Patient Monitoring Hub Reference Implementation available to Qmed Asia. The solution is optimised on Intel Core Ultra platforms and combines continuous patient monitoring, medical device integration and clinical workflows within a unified environment.
The Unified Patient Monitoring Hub securely aggregates data from connected bedside devices into a central Smart Ward dashboard. It supports vendor-neutral medical device integration, continuous patient monitoring, Early Warning Score alerts and scalable edge computing.
Qmed Asia and Intel said the platform is intended to address fragmented patient information across devices and systems, giving clinical teams greater visibility into patient status and supporting more timely decision-making.
The collaboration combines Intel’s reference architecture and edge computing capabilities with Qmed Asia’s healthcare software and clinical domain expertise.
“Healthcare systems across the region face growing pressure to streamline clinical operations and eliminate data silos that delay critical care. By pairing Intel’s robust reference architecture and edge computing power with our deep clinical domain expertise, we are delivering a truly connected Smart Ward ecosystem,” said Dr Tai Tzyy Jiun, Co-founder, Director and Chief Medical Technology Officer of Qmed Asia.
“This collaboration enables us to provide hospitals with real-time actionable insight, improving patient outcomes, easing the burden on healthcare workers, and accelerating the region’s transition into data-driven medicine.”
Renu Navale, Vice President, Health and Life Sciences and Cognitive Cities at Intel, said healthcare providers are seeking interoperable and scalable digital infrastructure that can support current operations as well as future AI-enabled workflows.
“By making Intel’s Patient Monitoring Hub Reference Implementation available to ecosystem partners such as Qmed Asia, and optimizing solutions on Intel Core Ultra platforms, we are helping accelerate the development of connected care environments that improve access to patient data, streamline clinical workflows, and provide a foundation for future healthcare innovation.”
The Smart Ward rollout is already underway in hospitals across Malaysia. Qmed Asia said the setup is designed to scale into other healthcare systems across the region that face similar challenges with fragmented patient data.
