Future connected medical platform

Abbott is engineering healthcare in 2030 today.

Abbott connects diagnostics, patient monitoring, and infection-control programs through evidence, service discipline, and data standards that clinical teams can trust.

Roadmap to 2030

Our vision is practical: make every instrument, consumable workflow, and remote observation easier to validate, easier to service, and easier to integrate. The roadmap below gives hospital leaders a clear view of how Abbott intends to support procurement committees, laboratory directors, care coordinators, and biomedical engineering teams over the next planning cycle.

  1. SBOM-by-default

    Software Bill of Materials disclosed for connected diagnostics and monitoring deployments.

  2. FHIR R5 readiness

    Expanded bidirectional data exchange planning with Epic, Oracle Health, and MEDITECH environments.

  3. Adaptive SaMD governance

    Machine-learning support tools controlled by predetermined change plans and real-world performance monitoring.

  4. Remote commissioning

    Interface, cybersecurity, and training tasks shifted to documented remote workflows where risk analysis allows.

  5. Lower-carbon installed base

    Energy, packaging, and take-back targets connected to service records and product lifecycle data.

Evidence-led milestones

  1. Expanded connected diagnostics planning for multi-site health systems.

  2. Rapid testing logistics refined for outbreak-response purchasing teams.

  3. Remote care programs aligned with privacy, escalation, and clinician review pathways.

  4. Cybersecurity documentation integrated into connected device deployment packets.

  5. FHIR-first implementation playbooks prepared for diagnostics and monitoring data.

Co-development environments

Abbott collaboration models can involve academic centers, regional hospitals, reference labs, community clinic networks, and remote patient monitoring programs. Each relationship is structured around privacy boundaries, IRB expectations where relevant, validated user needs, and service handoff criteria.
