SSSIHMS & Siemens Healthineers Launch Clinical Research Collaboration in Echocardiography

The collaboration initiative titled ‘Collaborative Clinical Research in Echocardiography’ aims to enhance cardiac imaging and improve diagnostic outcomes.

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (SSSIHMS) and global medical technology company Siemens Healthineers have partnered to undertake collaborative clinical research in echocardiography.

The collaboration initiative titled ‘Collaborative Clinical Research in Echocardiography’ aims to enhance cardiac imaging and improve diagnostic outcomes.

The research agenda includes exploring improvements in two-dimensional (2D) and four-dimensional (4D) echocardiography, developing automated and quantitative imaging techniques that seek to optimize workflow efficiencies, and assessing imaging performance across diverse patient groups to support consistent diagnostic quality.

Commenting on the new partnership, Dr. DC Sundaresh, director of SSSIHMS, said, “This collaboration aligns strongly with SSSIHMS’s mission of combining clinical excellence with compassionate service. By working closely with Siemens Healthineers on advanced echocardiographic research, we aim to generate meaningful clinical evidence that enhances early diagnosis, improves outcomes, and expands access to high-quality cardiac care for all, especially in resource-constrained settings.”

The collaboration is designed to improve early detection and accurate assessment of cardiac diseases and aligns with the hospital’s mission to provide high-quality healthcare service at no cost.

Highlighting the significance of the partnership, Kalavathi GV, executive director (India) and head of global Development Center, Siemens Healthineers, said, “Expanding access to care is central to our purpose. This clinical research will help understand the region-specific customer challenges and support in developing AI-powered solutions, which will improve workflows and enable increased access to cardiac care.”

The new initiative is built on an existing collaboration between SSSIHMS and Siemens Healthineers.

Reportedly, the hospital has already integrated the company’s technologies in advanced cardiac and neurovascular procedures, which are expected to deliver advanced and complex, high-precision cardiac and neurovascular interventions.
