The year is almost over. And what a year! Unpleasant for everyone and much more so for some. But looking back, it also provides new insights and opportunities. Because last year, for example, it became clear that even in the healthcare sector you can succeed in developing, producing and testing a system suitable for the respiration of corona patients in intensive care within one month. On April 23, the first of more than 500ventilation systems were delivered byDemcon. Chapeau!

Remote maintenance with a hololens by ASML (because their maintenance engineers are no longer allowed to fly, but maintenance doesn't stop) provide us with examples that make people think.

And then you think of a machine in a hospital. And that's right, but here the software allows the hardware to excel! The heart of the system is the respiratory module of Demcon macawi respiratory systems. It regulates the oxygen percentage (between 21% and 100%) in the air that goes to the patient. Through hoses, this air goes to the external, but essential, humidifier, which ensures that the patient does not receive dry air, but warm, moist air. From the humidifier, the air goes to the patient via hoses. Smart algorithms are used to control this automatically. This is where the impact of AI (at least AI to the layman) becomes visible.
Such examples, like remote maintenance with a hololens by ASML (because their maintenance engineers are no longer allowed to fly, but maintenance doesn't stop) provide us with examples that make people think. And that's what I see happening over Christmas. Everyone sits quietly at home, settles down and starts thinking about the future. What will my right to exist be in 3 years? What could these 'new' developments mean for my business? That's where I think beautiful, clear answers come in.
And let's focus on that, so that we can also look to the future with freshness. Looking forward to the beautiful sunrise that will come again. And it will come, we can be sure of that.
Happy holidays and a good-humored 2021!
