Healthcare innovation and ways to successfully drive sustainable evolution were the focus of the 14th FM Zorgcongres 2024. So, it was no surprise that for its first attendance, WAVE by AGC sparked a lot of interest in how technology can manage mobile connectivity issues and shape a brighter, more interconnected future for healthcare environments.

Facility managers of large hospitals and nursing homes who manage large investments in terms of the transformation and modernization of infrastructures learned first-hand from WAVE by AGC how the convergence of glass technology and healthcare offers boundless opportunities for collaboration. Healthcare professionals, managers, engineers, electro mechanics, discovered how they can introduce a cost-effective, maintenance-free alternative to traditional IT solutions.

At this FM Zorgcongres event focused on innovative advancements in the healthcare and technology sectors, Danny Havenith, Chairman of the European Health and Public Procurement Alliance (EHPPA), emphasized the significance of a robust ecosystem and the sharing of best practices for achieving sustainability success. He delved into the crucial role played by responsible hospital purchasers and the policies guiding decision-making, including the Green Deal, Procure4Health, Intrakoop, and the EHPPA Sustainability and Social Value Working Group.

Havenith also explored strategies for positively impacting the climate, the environment, and society. He discussed the importance of reducing energy consumption, striving for carbon neutrality, and making mindful investment decisions to foster a climate-responsible healthcare infrastructure. This includes minimizing usage and extending the lifespan of technology. For the healthcare sector, the deployment of highly interconnected technology is vital. Such technology ensures the continuous provision of essential services, elevates patient care, and boosts operational efficiency. It is indispensable for the secure and efficient exchange of data updates on patient health and critical communications, underscoring its foundational role in the industry.

WAVE by AGC at FM Zorgcongres 2024: a number of solutions that can help cost effectively manage the daily pressures

The revolutionary WAVETHRU from WAVE by AGC improves the transmission of radio frequencies with a laser glass surface treatment. This innovative and seamless technology enhances mobile connectivity without the need for mobile boosters. WAVETHRU is easy to install, requires no maintenance, and is compatible with all mobile network operators and technologies, including 5G. At FM Zorgcongres 2024 we demonstrated how the solution holds many benefits for the healthcare sector such as enhanced communication for patients and families, emergency alerts, immediate access to diagnostic results and images, augmented reality assisted robotic surgery, high quality video for telemedicine and remote patient monitoring, …

WAVETRAP is ideal for new hospitals. Invisible to the eye and featuring high coating technology, this transparent glass prevents the transmission of unwanted electromagnetic radiation to indoor environments and offers vital protection for departments such as MRI as it eliminates the need for partition walls. It also blocks waves without losing light and does not affect the insulating or thermal performance of glazing.

WAVEANTENNA is a range of aesthetic glass antenna solutions designed to enhance the visual experience in urban environment and building interiors while addressing network densification issues. WAVEATTOCH, the first product to join the WAVEANTENNA adventure in 2017 is designed to address mobile outdoor network densification issues in urban landscapes byoffering a seamlessly integrated glass antenna inside the building, behind the glazing, to enhance the network coverage outside. With WAVEANTENNA (Wi-Fi / Private 5G), seamlessly integrated glass antennas discreetly enhance the visual interior experience without compromising on connectivity performance. This solution is ideal for high-end spaces as it ensures top-notch performance without sacrificing aesthetics.

What is your role at WAVE by AGC, and what are your key responsibilities?

Hello, I’m Cynthia, serving as the dedicated Business Developer for WAVETHRU and WAVETRAP within the Dutch market. It brings me great pride to introduce the innovative solutions crafted by our skilled and ingenious technical team at the Technovation Center in Gosselies, Belgium, to the Dutch market.

I am privileged to identify promising markets where our advanced connectivity solutions can truly make a substantial impact. Following this, I strategize on which stakeholders to engage with, aiming to ensure the comprehensive understanding and widespread acceptance of the solutions among all involved parties in a given project. That can be a bit of a search sometimes, influenced by the specific market dynamics and project scale. It often involves collaborating with entities such as building owners, ICT, and Facility Management.

Whether it involves optimizing connectivity within your building or vice versa, it’s essential to protect anything that requires shielding from radio waves.

My focus spans from optimizing indoor connectivity to safeguarding against radio wave interference, depending on the precise requirements. Upon identifying fresh market opportunities, my efforts revolve around capturing the interest of potential clients for our exceptional solutions. I aim to demonstrate a completely novel approach to addressing connectivity challenges within buildings, focusing on addressing the root cause rather than introducing additional technical components that emit radiation. This approach allows us to harness what is already securely available externally rather than artificially amplifying it.

What’s the most exciting aspect of your job, and how does it align with your passions?

The most thrilling part of my job is the opportunity to significantly contribute to a prosperous digital future. It’s incredibly rewarding to do so in a seamless and user-friendly manner through innovative solutions that address fundamental issues. The AGC principle, which encapsulates “Your dreams, Our challenge,” deeply resonates with me. Interacting with a diverse range of individuals – from colleagues to clients – and gaining the organization’s confidence in your abilities is truly fulfilling. It’s more than just performing well; it’s about making a meaningful impact as an individual. Both clients and colleagues recognize and appreciate the value you bring to the table.

Share a fun or interesting fact about yourself outside of work – a hobby, talent, or unique experience.

During my personal time, I thoroughly enjoy embarking on road trips with my two teenage boys, exploring various countries’ finest amusement parks, with a special focus on their exhilarating roller coasters! The sense of liberation that comes with driving, crafting itineraries, contemplating ideal destinations, and envisioning what I’d like my boys to witness and encounter – whether it’s a museum or the marvels of nature – is truly invigorating. The simple joy of being on the road with them, journeying while music plays in the background, pausing for coffee breaks or to admire breathtaking vistas – all of this encapsulates authentic freedom to me.

What do you find most rewarding about helping clients overcome connectivity challenges?

At times, our team’s efforts feel like pure magic! We manage to bring immense joy and tranquility to our customers, all by offering a solution that’s inherently straightforward: we essentially “open up” the windows, allowing connectivity to flow precisely where it’s needed. In our daily lives, the world is increasingly reliant on robust connectivity. There are moments when it even becomes a critical matter, such as when an elderly resident in a care facility urgently needs to reach a nurse through their personal alarm system.

Numerous innovations are continually emerging to enhance and digitize communication between individuals, both in professional and personal settings. However, the real comfort lies in its functionality. That’s where we come in – we ensure it functions seamlessly in a simple, passive, affordable and sustainable way. And we get the gratitude of our customers as a reward!
