Smart hospitals connecting people and technology | Stryker

Your digital journey only matters if it leads closer to the patient

Healthcare is at a turning point. Systems are fragmented. Communication is inefficient. Clinicians face burnout. Care delivery continues to grow more complex, creating a need for a solution that helps unify the hospital into a single smart, adaptive system.

The SmartHospital Platform acts like an operating system for healthcare. By unifying the technology around care teams, each member can give every moment and every patient their best.

Empowering the people who power each moment.

That’s smart.

Built around the realities of modern care delivery, the SmartHospital Platform connects infrastructure, communication, workflows, and intelligence to support coordinated, patient-centered care. By helping streamline clinical and operational workflows, it gives clinicians more time to focus on what matters most: caring for patients.

Connected infrastructure

Connecting the physical world of care.

The foundation of the SmartHospital Platform, connected infrastructure keeps patients at the center of everything we do. Across transport, treatment and recovery, our interoperable ecosystem helps enhance care delivery and support clinical and operational workflows from the moment an event occurs through the patient’s arrival in the ED and into inpatient care.

Clinical communications

Unifying the human network of care.

With voice activated hands-free communication devices like the Sync Badge, teams stay connected as they work across the hospital. Teams can receive critical information from nurse call systems, EHRs, patient monitors, medical devices, scheduling systems and connected beds and stretchers to help support timely and coordinated response.

Virtual care

Extending clinical reach beyond the bedside.

Virtual nursing and virtual monitoring workflows align with your facility’s protocols and processes while supporting bedside staff with tasks such as patient monitoring, rounding, admissions and discharge. These virtual care models can be integrated into daily operations to support patient management, patient safety and ongoing process improvement.
