And monitoring is a very different segment than imaging, is a very different segment than interventional therapy or personal health. So that's why I said, okay, I strongly believe that I actually want to organize for delivering the best service and innovations to those segments by building the end-to-end core structure of a company, the processes and the division structure around that.

So business is in the lead. That has kind of been my prevailing design principle. to kind of get the company into this shape. And if you look to healthcare, actually you see this is also a model which is practiced more because actually you see that people kind of get to do the specific needs of those segments that you need to kind of be very close to innovate. And I give you an example.

If you want to know how you need to deliver a next bedside monitor or a next kind of software product, you need to be very deeply embedded in the work process of a doctor. or of a nurse, and that's different for the different disease areas, that's different for the different kind of parts of the organization of hospitals.

So actually we reflect in part our customers, because when we sell our monitors, we will talk to the chief nurse or the CIO of an healthcare institution. If we sell our imaging equipment, we will talk to the head of radiology and also the informatics department because it, of course, is kind of digitizing very fast.
