IoT to make hospitals smart

Smart hospital

The smart hospital encompasses lots of different applications of technologies to enable the hospital estate to operate as efficiently as possible.

The following areas are examples of where IoT technologies can be used:

  • Indoor navigation for staff and patients
  • Space utilisation – understanding how to use the estate to its maximum potential.
  • Patient & Staff Tracking – People/Attendee Tracking
  • Healthy building monitors -indoor environmental monitoring including temperature, humidity, air quality etc.
  • Energy usage monitoring and optimisation
