New SAP–Fresenius initiative uses AI to transform clinical operations
SAP and Fresenius are collaborating to harness artificial intelligence and digital technologies to improve healthcare delivery, optimise clinical workflows and support real-time decision-making.
Global enterprise software provider SAP has entered a strategic collaboration with German healthcare group Fresenius to apply AI and digital technologies to healthcare delivery and clinical operations.
The partnership aims to modernise processes, including patient flow, resource planning, and data-driven decision support, across Fresenius’s hospital networks and care facilities.
At the core of the initiative will be SAP’s AI-enabled enterprise platforms, including analytics, predictive modelling and workflow automation, combined with Fresenius’s clinical expertise to improve operational efficiency, care coordination and patient outcomes.
By leveraging real-time data and AI insights, the collaboration seeks to reduce administrative burden on clinicians while enabling proactive management of capacity and critical resources.
Both organisations emphasise the potential of AI to support clinicians rather than replace them, reinforcing the importance of human oversight, explainability and adherence to healthcare regulations and privacy standards.
The partnership also reflects a broader trend of digital transformation in health systems, where analytics and AI are becoming integral to service delivery and system resilience.
