We are pleased to announce that Laerdal has now acquired the VitalsBridge products from Dynasthetics. This strategic acquisition not only strengthens Laerdal’s product offering but also reinforces its dedication to meeting evolving industry standards and customer expectations.
“We are excited to fully integrate VitalsBridge into the Laerdal Medical portfolio, opening new possibilities to furth
UiS has strengthened its collaboration with Laerdal Medical. One of the projects aims to make emergency calls to 113 (999/911 in Norway) easier to handle using artificial intelligence (AI).
For over 80 years, Laerdal Medical has developed solutions that have helped save millions of lives. Now, the company is entering a new era—where data and artificial intelligence, in combination with plastic manikins, are at the center of future learning and patient safety.
This summer, Laerdal Medical will conduct 2,500 simulated births using its latest birth simulator, MamaAnne. While the simulator has already been tested for commercial release, this summer’s testing is part of ongoing validation to ensure the technology, anatomy, and user experience remain at the highest level over time.
In total, we estimate that the projects we support are already helping save around 300,000 more lives annually. With continued scaling and expansion, we could reach 700,000 to 900,000 – and possibly one million – more lives saved each year compared to 2019.
Last year, Laerdal moved all its production in Stavanger to a new factory at Forus. The remaining buildings are now being converted into a new headquarters. Already, energy consumption in both the office and factory has dropped by 35%. Historically, gas has accounted for nearly half of total energy use, but now the gas is being turned off and replaced with district heating.
A newly-announced philanthropic partnership between Laerdal Global Health and the WHO Foundation will fund WHO to scale up acute care training for health workers in select African countries. This contribution includes support for WHO Basic Emergency Care training in 400 hospitals across three African countries, as well as specially designed training kits for ongoing workplace-based training.
