Strategy

Changed global health reality accelerates IoT

Covid accelerated what was necessary: Healthcare Digitisation

How IoT is delivering Benefits for Hospitals

  • Integration with queue management systems at hospitals to ensure relevant service and capacity planning is maintained
  • Display a view of all connected hospitals with the capability to drill down to specific sites (hospitals)
  • Allows for centralized monitoring of all areas of the hospital in the format of a Digital Twin style interface
  • Visualize and manage average time spent by patients per department to determine economic feasibility, process efficiency and real time suggested actions
  • Dashboard reporting to provide operational insight such as: Visibility of the total number of admissions and visitors to the facilities over time
  • Visualize alarms and alerts based on predefined thresholds
  • Raise alarms and alerts at selected for beyond-average time spent by patients at the facility and department
  • Push-based notifications are sent on critical alarms to a select group of decision-makers or operations managers to act accordingly.
  • Compare queueing times across hospitals to advise resource planning initiatives.

Several aspects of healthcare operations can be improved using IoT technology.

  • Medical device subscription billing solutions Integration of usage data with billing data
  • SLA -based fees & monthly usage bills
  • Predictive maintenance of devices
  • 38% increase in subscription revenue
  • 28% reduction in maintenance cost
  • Higher margins
  • Devices can be integrated with scheduling systems to improve patient flow
  • Reduction in wait times
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Ability to have devices reserve other devices based on procedures (e.g., CT scans)
  • Access to asset usage information to drive improved awareness around availability and maintenance processes
  • Future asset needs can be modelled based on historical usage
  • An asset sharing network can be developed with adjacent health services
  • 28% reduction in capital spending on assets
  • 27% reduction in maintenance costs
  • Improved patient outcomes by reducing times in hospitals
  • 18% reduction in operating costs
