ZEISS launches Collaborative Care application to strengthen continuity of care

ZEISS Collaborative Care is delivered as an application of the ZEISS Healthcare Data Platform (HDP)

ZEISS Medical Technology, one of the world's leading medical technology companies, launched its ZEISS Collaborative Care browser-based software application, enabling eye care professionals to seamlessly work together securely sharing data, referring patients, and strengthening their professional networks. The new solution addresses longstanding challenges in ophthalmic care, particularly fragmented data sharing and inefficient referral processes. By enabling real-time communication, structured referrals, and shared clinical insights, ZEISS Collaborative Care empowers providers to make fast and confident clinical decisions.

"At ZEISS, we've focused the strengths of our digital expertise to address some of the persistent challenges in a patient's healthcare journey. Working closely with our customers, we've laid the foundation to transform continuity of care today, supported by data-driven, digital care models that can follow patients throughout their ophthalmic care pathway. ZEISS Collaborative Care is an important step forward in our vision, bringing care teams closer together for more efficient patient care," says Magnus Reibenspiess, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Strategic Business Unit Ophthalmology at ZEISS Medical Technology.  

ZEISS Collaborative Care is delivered as an application of the ZEISS Healthcare Data Platform (HDP), which provides the secure cloud foundation behind our digital solutions. As an HDP-powered application, it offers flexible deployment for practitioners to support a wide range of clinical environments. Practices may use it as a standalone cloud solution or as a connected extension of ZEISS FORUM, allowing diagnostic data, images, and insights to flow seamlessly from on-premises systems into secure, browser-based collaboration spaces. This flexibility ensures providers – regardless of their current digital infrastructure – can participate in efficient, data-driven care pathways.

ZEISS Collaborative Care offers an intuitive set of real-time collaboration tools, ensuring clinical data moves with the patient, supporting better decisions and more coordinated care. It integrates smoothly into existing ZEISS solutions and adheres to industry-standard security requirements, enabling eye care professionals to collaborate with confidence.
