Taking the smart hospital to the next level

Kantonsspital Baden (KSB) is advancing its digital transformation to improve patient care and operational excellence. Together with Siemens, the hospital is taking the next step towards an autonomous hospital by turning building data into actionable insights for staff and patients.

The fastest way to a smart hospital: Cooperation

Designing a greenfield smart hospital is a challenge that is best tackled through cooperation. Kantonsspital Baden and Siemens work together to create one of Switzerland’s smartest hospitals using an open IoT platform from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.

Working hand in hand to develop the best IoT solutions

Kantonsspital Baden is partnering with Siemens to master its digital transformation journey. In an ongoing co-creation process, two companies implement specific use cases in order to develop a smart hospital with a continuously growing range of functions. Real-time location services (RTLS) using more than 7,000 IoT sensors and 2,000 asset tags will help staff find medical equipment using an app. Likewise, an app-based navigation system makes it easier for patients and staff to find their way around the hospital campus.

A future-proof smart hospital

Modern hospitals must be versatile and flexible in order to offer patients the best possible care and employees optimum working conditions. To master this challenge, Kantonsspital Baden is building Switzerland’s first smart hospital. It is being developed in a partnership with Siemens that combines ideas, expertise, and smart technology from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to create customized solutions.
