What do you think medicine and technology have in common?
From my technical point of view, technology is supposed to serve medicine and help it move forward. And at the same time, the future of medicine is quite dependent on technology, just like any other field that one is involved in.
You certainly have big plans for the future in your position. Would you summarize the innovations you are bringing to the hospital?
I've been here quite a while, so I'm still learning a lot of things and processes. So far, I am trying to make use of experiences, especially from previous positions, that are immediately applicable, for example in optimizing waste management or in setting up procedures in record-keeping and planning technical processes in view of the hospital's ever-expanding services and the prospect of higher demands in the future.
You are responsible for the technical equipment of one of the best hospitals in the country. What can a layman imagine by all this?
I certainly pay the most attention to medical equipment, i.e. all instruments, devices, aids and equipment intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes (except consumables). For the record, there are currently around 6 000 devices and instruments that require constant inspection, servicing and renewal. In addition, the technical department oversees and ensures the operation of, for example, the boiler room, spare power supplies, air conditioning, pressure vessels, waste management and other technical parts of the hospital. This is mainly in cooperation with the amazing team of the maintenance department.
Where do you think technology will take the environment we commonly know from doctor's visits today in the coming years?
From my point of view, I see the future of technology in hospitals as the expanded use of artificial intelligence and also the massive applicability of 3D printing for different types of implants, prostheses or models and templates.
You have worked as a manager in several companies with different focuses. What brought you professionally to the healthcare sector?
I see it as a result of the experience I have accumulated and my efforts so far to find a field and a job that are interesting, inspiring, prestigious and fulfill further opportunities for development - both professional and human.
You have a degree in ecology. What topics are you most interested in in relation to the environment?
Most of the main topics are quite topical at the moment, and especially interrelated, but I am probably most interested in the development of modern technologies to provide renewable energy, the direction of waste management, and also global policy in response to the now really acute need for a change of approach to the use of our planet.
If you had to find three words that describe you, what would they be?
That's probably a question for my wife, but I'd be a bit worried. :-) The first thing that comes to mind is husband, dad, sportsman. That's about it.
