The History of Siemens Healthineers

In the mid-nineteenth century, when Germany was on the brink of becoming a modern industrial society, the pioneering age of medical technology dawned. Inventors started setting up their own companies so that they could make their ideas a reality. The roots of Siemens Healthineers reach back to this time to a few small workshops that would eventually grow into global businesses. This book recounts the history of Siemens Healthineers in ten chapters and through a rich collection of images. It primarily focuses on the events that had the greatest impact on both the company and on global progress in medical technology from the early days of electromedicine to the development of high-end systems, and from the Great Depression of the 1920s to the entry of Siemens Healthineers into the DAX, Germany's leading share index, in 2021.

Klappentext

In the mid-nineteenth century, when Germany was on the brink of
becoming a modern industrial society, the pioneering age of medical
technology dawned. Inventors started setting up their own companies
so that they could make their ideas a reality. The roots of Siemens
Healthineers reach back to this time - to a few small workshops
that would eventually grow into global businesses.
This book recounts the history of Siemens Healthineers in ten chapters
and through a rich collection of images. It primarily focuses on
the events that had the greatest impact on both the company and on
global progress in medical technology - from the early days of electromedicine
to the development of high-end systems, and from the
Great Depression of the 1920s to the entry of Siemens Healthineers
into the DAX, Germany's leading share index, in 2021.
