When a hospital operates &
structured more safety on the interventions, the hospital is called a smart
hospital. Smart hospitals are also sometime called as paperless health care
system or intelligent hospitals. Its major aim is to develop, rebuild or
redesign hospitals with infrastructure & management systems and clinical
processes with digitized networking communications. The smart hospital relies
on automated and optimized methods on the artificial intelligence and internet
of things (IoT) for improving the accessibility of the patients. To measure
smart hospitals there are some assessment methods such as baseline assessment
tools, the hospital protection index and a green checklist. It has many
products such as mHealth, electronic health record, telemedicine and smart
tablets etc. The mHealth is used in educating customers about protective
healthcare services via mobile device.
Smart hospitals include devices like
wireless connected devices, wearable devices, specialty medical devices, mobile
health or mHealth apps and diagnostic & patient monitoring equipments etc.
Wirelessly devices are included radio-frequency identification (RFID), infusion
pumps, Bluetooth and blood pressure cuffs. Wearable devices include smart
watches, fit bands and augmented reality glasses etc. Additionally, some attributes are included
improved patient experience, reduced cost of the cure, enhanced outcomes of
treatment, improved disease management and reduced inaccuracies etc
