The project Hospitals 4.0 \u2013 Machine learning for more effective management involves the participation of the Center for Innovation in Electronics, Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) of the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya \u00b7 BarcelonaTech (UPC). The main aim of the project is to construct a digital twin to monitor, visualise and manage the state of maintenance of hospital equipment.\r
This digital twin represents accurately the activity of a real hospital environment in a simulated scenario. The simulation enables the management team to prepare for potential real situations and anticipate future actions by gathering data on the use and wear of systems.\r
Through the optimisation of resource availability, and the maintenance of resources within the hospital environment, the availability of medical equipment is guaranteed when necessary. Anticipation will avoid a lack of equipment or potential problems, with enough time to look for and start to activate solutions.

Hospitals 4.0 is a short project (approximately between 9 and 10 months) and is currently in the phase of data collection from the Hospital de Terrassa. In addition, the first building information modelling (BIM) designs are being draw up for the area that will be monitored.\r
This pilot could validate the harmony and functionality of the various enabling technologies within Industry 4.0 that this project makes possible, including the simulation of systems, digital twins, machine learning, artificial intelligence, the internet of things (IoT) and the interconnection of systems.\r
As the next step, the \u201clogic\u201d part of the facility use simulator will begin to be designed. In this aspect, MCIA will be responsible for creating the machine learning algorithm. Along with the design of the simulator\u2019s data flows that is being developed by CT Solutions Group and the database of medical records, the algorithm will enable a predictive, corrective equipment management system.

What will be the advantages to hospitals or health centres that implement this solution?<\/h4>

\tReduce costs by increasing efficiency in the use of hospital equipment. Due to predictive maintenance, unexpected events, and hence unwanted costs, can be anticipated. It will also be possible to determine the optimal performance of equipment.\r
\tImprove operations. Anticipation of potential errors will facilitate the design and management of the preventive maintenance schedule and will reduce delays in periodic operations caused by incidents that require an urgent solution.\r
\tImprove sustainability and the environment. Due to improvements in energy consumption of the systems involved in hospital operations, the solution will contribute to improving the environment and sustainability.\r
\tMitigate risks. The solution can carry out simulations that will help to determine and optimise the operation of the facility and its use and to identify whether the established preventive maintenance is suitable.\r
\tUnderstand the interactions of the system. Digital twins from different systems can be combined to predict how they relate to each other. This function is very useful in the case of products and services from different suppliers.\r
\t\tPerfect prediction. The machine learning model gathers all the data required to create predictive algorithms. These artificial intelligence systems can help to prevent faults and improve the functioning of the systems.\r
\t\tImprove the capacity to care for patients. The incorporation of machine learning algorithms into maintenance management will provide a fault prediction mechanism and avoid equipment being out of service. In turn, the increase in availability of medical equipment will improve the capacity and quality of patient care.\r
\t\tPredict needs for staff and additional resources. Through a simulator of the facility\u2019s operation, the number of staff required in various situations can be predicted and determined, as well as if there are enough teams, and even a shortage of certain drugs can be anticipated. \r
