TBS India. Health Technology Management.

Group Profile

TBS Group was founded in a research environment in the late 1980s as a highly specialised clinical engineering service provider.

In line with the integrated development of technology (in both IT and telematics), the group's growth was marked by development in clinical engineering itself. In fact, clinical engineering was no longer merely restricted to the safe and efficient management of biomedical equipment but had expanded to comprise the integrated management of all technologies implemented in hospitals and health and social care facilities.

Throughout the world, healthcare costs are the most significant item in public expenditure, tend to grow faster than GDP and threatening to become unsustainable: 50% of this trend can be attributed to technology.

TBS Group works to set up technical workshops within hospitals and health and social care facilities (today there are more than 300 workshops, subdivided into 46 Regional Operating Centres), which employ a permanent staff of biomedical and IT engineers as well as highly specialised technicians who undergo continuous training (over 1,600 out of a total of 2,400 members of staff). The biomedical technology specialists and IT experts working in TBS Group’s 26 operating centres assist and coordinate the operations of the various workshops within the local area.

This wide network of technicians and skills draws on an interconnected IT platform and an impressive database that enables a continuous exchange of data, information and knowledge.

TBS Group also deploys specific internal R&D department operating in collaboration with leading universities and international research centres.

The Group has a marked propensity for internationalisation and currently works with several subsidiaries throughout 21 countries.

The headquarters is located at AREA Science Park (Trieste, Italy); the science and technology park where it has been a tenant since 1994.

TBS Group offers integrated clinical engineering, e-Health and e-Government services to hospital and health and social care companies, both public and private, in Italy and abroad.
