Uninterrupted power can mean the difference between death and life in a medical facility.  

Hospitals and surgical centers need steady and reliable electricity to power medical equipment;  A one-day outage could cost hospitals more than $1 百萬.  

Medical institutions are required to do more with less.  

Their operating costs keep rising while their budgets fall.  

Rising healthcare costs are a pressure that hospitals are facing.

Energy efficiency helps healthcare organizations reduce operating costs.  

Aging facilities exacerbate the problem of energy costs because existing hospitals do not have the capacity to phase out and replace outdated infrastructure.  

Most hospitals in the United States are more than 30 years old. In Britain, the age has risen significantly.  

There is no proper infrastructure of aging facilities to support energy and operational efficiency.  

But IoT technology can help these facilities retain old systems.  

This type of software is so smart that it can predict how much healthcare facilities can save by maintaining specific assets or implementing specific energy savings.  

According to Deloitte, 智慧建築 can save more than $18 million in operating expenses compared to traditional non-iot buildings.  

A future-oriented BMS solution is required by Healthcare organizations to ensure their facilities are comfortable, efficient and safe.  

This means it has to be open, scalable, 靈活的, and act as automation, 軟體, and IP backbone connecting energy.  

Data can be managed to optimize operational performance when mart BMS connects critical systems across the enterprise.

Smart Belt technology help detect falls. Older people can live alone with the help of this. They can rest assured that they can call for help when accidents occur.  

Smart sensors can help simplify the process. Previously, patients had to travel for tests, or they had to check their blood pressure, temperature or other variables regularly themselves and had to share that information with their doctors.  

This advance optimizes patient care workflows by reducing in-person visits to doctors’ offices and optimizes healthcare decisions by providing more comprehensive and accurate health data.  

附吸入器

The insidious thing about both respiratory diseases is that they can lead to attacks that seem to pop up without any notice.  

Connected inhalers can provide detailed information about the frequency of environmental conditions and inhaler use. They can help patients change their behavior and actions.

智慧藥盒

Smart medicine bottles offer the same type of IoT inventory management capabilities to individuals. Smart medicine bottles could help patients automatically refill prescriptions to provide other personalized medical support for and send alerts for missed doses. That’s something insurance companies are sure to love.
