Digital twin in healthcare: ICU devices, oxygen and beds in one stream
Hospitals run on thousands of devices and systems. A digital twin of the hospital brings their data together to support staff, capacity and patient safety.
ALLINLET team
The challenge
Clinical devices, building systems and logistics are usually managed separately. Staff switch between screens, and nobody has a live view of beds, equipment and critical supplies across the whole hospital.
The data sources
- Patient monitors and ventilators: vital signs, for example through IEEE 11073 SDC.
- Infusion pumps: rates and alarms through IHE PCD profiles.
- Clinical systems: admissions, orders and results through HL7 v2 and FHIR.
- RTLS and BLE tags: the location of beds, staff and equipment.
- Medical gases and building systems: oxygen supply, HVAC and power through BACnet or Modbus.
- Pharmacy fridges: cold-chain temperatures.
How it works with ALLINLET
- Connect clinical, location and building data, keeping it inside the hospital network if required.
- Normalise it into one model of wards, rooms, beds and devices.
- Feed a hospital digital twin with live capacity, equipment status and alarms.
- Simulate patient flow and plan for surges.
What changes
- A live view of bed capacity and equipment location.
- Faster response to device and environment alarms.
- Fewer temperature excursions in the cold chain.
- Better planning for peaks such as winter pressure.
Getting started
Start with one ward or one service: connect beds, location tracking and key devices, then extend across the hospital.
