Case study: Increasing efficiency and reducing wait times with software

Increasing efficiency and reducing wait times with software Description This organisational management software is designed 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: 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 This case study focuses on optimising the decentralised storage of maintained and clean medical devices in nursery wards while improving the user interface for nurses to ensure seamless access and efficiency.​ Tech archetype SENSOR-BASED DATA COLLECTION ANALYTICAL INTERACTION Occupational groups Led by Academic lead Explore all case studies

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 A clinical communications software platform has been implemented to integrate nurse call systems, patient monitoring equipment and other medical devices. It receives input using both standard and proprietary protocols, including HL7, SMTP, TAP, ESPA and SNPP. The system is compatible with a range of mobile devices, such as DECT and VoWiFi phones, pagers, and both dedicated and third-party smartphones. This integration supports more efficient communication among healthcare professionals and enhances the responsiveness of care teams.

Case study: Real-time patient flow

Real-time patient flow Description A real-time patient flow solution has been implemented to improve the management of patients from arrival in the emergency department through to discharge. The system provides live data that can be accessed at the patient’s bedside, offering visibility into patient status and care progression. It integrates clinical data with bed management functions, supporting both high-level operational oversight and detailed views of individual patient pathways. By providing clinical context alongside logistical information, the system aims to enhance coordination, support timely decision-making, and facilitate adoption by staff across departments.
