Investors Talents Press Healthcare professionals DE | EN Products & Services Perspectives Innovations Purpose HomeOur company We pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. Purpose Innovation Culture Management Strategy Our purpose When our health is at risk, we rely on physicians to make the best possible decisions – from quick, early diagnoses to the most effective treatments and follow-ups. By constantly bringing breakthrough innovations to market, we help healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality care, leading to the best possible outcome for patients. Our portfolio of products, services, and solutions is at the center of clinical decision-making and treatment pathways. Patient-centered innovation has been and always will be at the core of our company. We aspire to create better outcomes and experiences for patients no matter where they live or what they are facing. We pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. This is why we give our best every day, to improve the lives of patients and their families. Did you know? Prev Almost 3/4 of all critical clinical decisions are influenced by our solutions. We are at the center of clinical decision making. Our products & services 90% of leading hospitals have chosen to give us their trust and work with us. We collaborate with researchers, partners, caregivers, and global institutions. Next Our innovation leadership We have unique strengths in patient twinning, precision therapy as well as digital, data, and AI that set us apart and enable us to actively shape the transformation of healthcare: Prev Patient twinning We expand precision medicine with utmost personalization of diagnosis, therapy selection, aftercare, and managing health. This helps us understand the patient as completely as possible. Precision therapy We address the most prevalent diseases with intelligent and image-guided treatment. Next We will continue to build on these strengths to help fight the world’s most threatening diseases: cancer, cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases, improving the quality of outcomes, and enabling access to care. Around three billion people worldwide don’t have access to care. Many patients still suffer from diseases, which could already be treated successfully, simply because means of diagnoses and therapies are not yet affordable or accessible to them. We believe everyone should have access to high-quality and individualized care. The reality is healthcare systems worldwide are facing a multitude of challenges: from limited funding, to shortage of qualified staff, to geographical barriers and limitation in local infrastructure, combined with aging population, the raising burden of chronic diseases, and increasing frequency of emergency disruptions accelerated by climate change. Even the most advanced technology is only as good as the number of people who have access to it. That's why innovation must be followed by scalability. This means solutions that can be tailored to the needs of our customers, the healthcare providers, and the local infrastructures, in which they are integrated. What all healthcare systems have in common is their demand for high-value care – providing better outcomes with fewer resources. And while medtech is a global business, healthcare is inherently local. We are currently present in more than 70 countries around the globe, making sure we are close to our customers. Our products, solutions, and services are customized to meet local market needs, benefiting from an unmatched global expertise. Our innovation legacy Built on a history of innovation we are a global player with a strong engineering heritage. Just one year after X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895, we created our company’s first medical X-ray device. Our archives still hold a letter from Roentgen dating back to 1896 praising the quality of tubes provided by Siemens. “Your tubes are really very good,” was the simple but significant praise penned on what is probably the most pleasing postcard in the company’s history. Read the full story Pioneering breakthroughs are in our DNA We've been pushing the boundaries in medical technology for more than 125 years. Combined with the pioneering history of Varian our breakthroughs now span imaging, diagnostics, and cancer therapy. Here's a selection of them: Prev 1933: Pantix X-ray tube This design, with a diskshaped rotating anode, is still the basis of X-ray tubes to this day. 1958: Gamma camera By capturing an entire organ at once, this scintillation camera gave rise to modern SPECT technology. Next Our legacy lives on Today, our engineers and researchers worldwide continue to build upon our legacy of innovation. Backed by an annual research and development investment of €1.5 billion and about 23,000 technical intellectual property rights, including more than 14,000 granted patents, we constantly bring breakthrough innovations to market – for the benefit of patients, medical professionals, and society.
