D I G I TAL TWI NS - A PRE S CR I P T I ON FOR SMARTER CARE
DIANA PARRY ASBUILT DIGITAL
ADHB was driven by the need to capture an accurate blueprint of infrastructure for construction and management reasons – it now provides a digital foundation on which to add smart technologies and build the next generation of care delivery and facilities management. Judging by the rates of enquiry from the global healthcare community, there is a growing interest in the transformational potential of a smart hospital (with integrated Ai and ML) to deliver not just more efficient facilities management, but also optimised care and outcomes in new ways. Think: • Digitally tagged plant and equipment, easily locatable on the spatial model, with a predictive maintenance schedule and warranties/guarantees attached. • Autonomous robots delivering medication/lab results on a digital twin platform (releasing caregivers to focus on frontline care). • Optimised patient throughput models achieved via digital simulation. • Remote/virtual hospital ‘walk throughs’ for induction or training purposes. • Environmental monitoring including noise, temperature, energy consumption and more. • Simulated emergency evacuation procedures.
Imagine being able to fly through your virtual 3D hospital or healthcare facility. Peel back walls to reveal what’s behind, explore plant rooms remotely and send 360 degree imagery and geo-spatial information to your supply chain (all linked back to the 3D computer model). This is what facilities management can do today with a digital twin. But it’s what can come next to enable the future of smart, connected care that is really exciting. a local example: Auckland Hospital and its digital twin asBuilt, a team of local digital engineers, are responsible for digitally modelling the whole of the Auckland Hospital campus in what is thought to
be the largest digitisation project of its kind in the southern hemisphere. At Auckland Hospital, asBuilt and the project team created an accurate digital replica of the entire hospital campus (a digital twin) which can be viewed, managed and interrogated online, via one easy-to-use platform. Vault is a 3D spatial intelligence platform, as secure as its name would suggest. Healthcare facilities need visibility over their assets. Having built asset information referenced on a geospatial database (like Vault) provides 3D data certainty.
