Abstract

The Elema project at Uppsala Academic Hospital, Uppsala Data Center and Uppsala University in collaboration with the industry (Siemens and Elema-Schönander) during 1968 and until 1984 had tremendous success and influence on quality of clinical work and practices to improve patient care, as well as commercial products, which e.g. led to total worldwide sales within Siemens exceeding 5 billion Swedish Kronor. A number of spinoff companies were also launched within the Nordic cluster (CART).
