What is a “smart” hospital?
Living in an increasingly connected world, hospital technologies have evolved to ensure the best possible healthcare for their patients.
A hospital is said to be “smart” if it uses “cutting-edge technologies to fundamentally rethink how care is delivered within the healthcare system”. Nancy Cooper, editor of Newsweek magazine.
These technologies are based in particular on the use of Artificial Intelligence, robotics and digital imagery (among others), all interconnected to the hospital network, in order, in particular, to better disseminate and share information and thus, to improve the efficiency of the care administered in hospitals.
