Case study: Digital triage system

A digital triage app that guides patients to proper care, enables secure calls and uploads, and helps staff prioritise urgent cases via smart queueing.

Case study: Localisation of medical devices

Localisation of medical devices Description Medical Device (leasing) Service delivers on time, well maintained and clean devices in the right number to nursery wards in the hospital. With the use of a hospital-wide Track&Trace (T&T) localisation system, most medical devices used at the nursery ward are localised. Because the T&T system is also coupled to the maintenance system (ULTIMO), the (cleaning and maintenance) status of the devices is also monitored. This technology enables logistic employees to equip the storage rooms of the ward with the agreed types and amount of equipment. Nurses know where the equipment is located for use.

Case study: Speech recognition

Speech recognition turns speech into patient records, with voice commands, autotext, shared glossaries, and integration with medical and office apps.

Case study: Quality control of rigid endoscopes​

In minimally invasive surgery, rigid endoscopes are commonly used. Due to their high cost, these instruments are reusable and must therefore undergo thorough cleaning and sterilisation before each use. To ensure they remain in suitable condition, systems are in place to measure and monitor the optical quality of endoscopes.

Case study: Robot-assisted surgery

Robot-assisted surgery Description Robot-assisted surgery currently operates at the lowest level of autonomy. However, the integration of guidance features during surgical procedures has the potential to increase this to level 1: robotic assistance. One example of such a feature is the ability to provide direct visualisation of three-dimensional reconstructions in a picture-in-picture format on the surgeon’s console screen. This enhancement supports more informed and precise decision-making during procedures involving robotic systems. This new form of robotic guidance has recently been introduced into surgical practice at one of the participating research sites.

Case study: Unified communications

Unified communications Description The care of individuals with chronic pancreatitis requires a specialist, multi-disciplinary approach due to the complexity of the condition. The overall objective is to support patients in maintaining their health and wellbeing for longer periods and to reduce hospital admissions. A digital care management solution has been introduced to streamline and coordinate patient support, enabling care teams to monitor and assist patients within their homes and communities. The solution was developed in collaboration with clinical innovation teams and with active involvement from individuals living with chronic pancreatitis, who contributed directly to its design and development.

Case study: Real-time patient flow

Real-time patient flow Description An Organisational management software used to optimise Operating Room (OR) planning. The aim of this technology is to diminish patient wait times, unplanned cancellations and last-minute emergencies. It can also bridge communication gaps among healthcare professionals and can keep family members informed about the patient’s journey through the OR.

Case study: Cloud-based management software for biobank

Cloud-based management software for biobank Description Biobank activities are primarily managed through an external digital application that enables the administration and search for samples, covering the entire process, from the arrival of the sample at the biobank to the subsequent service to researchers and doctors. Biobank managers use the application to design storage facilities, create sample collections, define procedural protocols, and retrieve samples based on a range of criteria. Technical staff use the system to register samples after physical receipt and manage data logs. Researchers and clinicians are also able to update their collections, initially configured by biobank managers, and complete relevant data entries. A core function of the biobank is the utilisation of stored samples and their associated data. Researchers or doctors request the data regarding the samples to the biobank management team, who then use the application to carry out searches using different criteria by configuring the application’s parameters. The resulting information is manually collected into catalogues and shared with the requestor.
