Patrick Leyseele The Internet of Things (IoT) is a modern and cutting-edge medical device, such as smart beds and connected knee splints, that is transforming patient care and the way hospitals work. The widespread adoption of IoT technology is making smart hospitals a reality - from smart beds that let hospital staff know if they are busy, to connected knee braces that collect data for smart recording - and storing. Patrick Leyseele The increasing use of ICT skills in hospitals is evolving to meet the goals of smart hospitals, such as better patient care, faster and more efficient delivery of healthcare. The overarching goals of an intelligent hospital are to improve patient care, including remote medical care, to enable an efficient flow of information between patients and doctors, to strengthen diagnostic, surgical and organizational intelligence to ensure patient safety and cyber resilience, and to better control hospital infrastructure.
