Qmed Asia and Intel collaborate to advance smart patient monitoring solutions

Qmed Asia today announced a strategic collaboration with Intel to accelerate the development of intelligent healthcare infrastructure for hospitals. As healthcare systems become increasingly connected, critical patient information often remains fragmented across multiple medical devices and clinical systems, limiting visibility and timely clinical insights.

Qmed’s Unified Patient Monitoring Solution addresses this challenge by consolidating patient monitoring data into a centralized platform, enabling more efficient care delivery, informed clinical decision-making, and a stronger foundation for data-driven healthcare.

Connected platform aims to improve patient monitoring

As part of this collaboration, Intel has made its Patient Monitoring Hub Reference Implementation (RI) available to Qmed Asia. Leveraging this reference implementation and optimized on Intel Core Ultra platformsj, Qmed Asia’s Patient Monitoring Solution brings together continuous patient monitoring, medical device integrations and clinical workflows into a unified platform. The collaboration combines Intel’s scalable reference architecture with Qmed Asia’s healthcare software expertise to help hospitals accelerate digital transformation while establishing a foundation for future AI-enabled clinical innovation.

The Unified Patient Monitoring Hub securely aggregates patient monitoring data from connected bedside medical devices into a centralized Smart Ward dashboard. The solution supports vendor-neutral medical device integration, continuous patient monitoring, a centralized Smart Ward dashboard with Early Warning Score (EWS) alerts with scalable edge computing. Through this collaboration, Qmed Asia and Intel aim to accelerate the adoption of connected Smart Ward solutions that enhance clinical visibility, streamline clinical workflows, and provide a scalable, enterprise-ready digital healthcare infrastructure for hospitals across Malaysia and the region.

Rollout begins in Malaysian hospitals

Qmed Asia said deployment of the Smart Ward solution is already underway in hospitals across Malaysia, with plans to expand into other regional healthcare systems facing similar challenges related to fragmented patient data.

“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. 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,” said Dr. Tai Tzyy Jiun, Co-founder, Director and Chief Medical Technology Officer, Qmed Asia.

Renu Navale, Vice President of Health and Life Sciences and Cognitive Cities at Intel, said interoperable digital infrastructure will be essential as healthcare providers adopt AI-enabled technologies.

“Healthcare providers are looking for interoperable and scalable digital infrastructure that can support both today’s operational needs and tomorrow’s 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,” said Renu Navale.

The rollout is already underway in hospitals across Malaysia. Qmed Asia say the Smart Ward setup is designed to scale beyond the country, into other healthcare systems across the region facing the same fragmented-data problem.
