Italian Hospital Italian is taking concrete steps to modernize its infrastructure and services through a Smart Hospital transformation program. The hospital is actively seeking consortia—either established or in formation—to join.

Geofencing and Smart Signage for an Intelligent Hospital

This initiative involves the implementation of a geofencing system, integrated with digital signage and a dedicated mobile app. The main objectives include:

• Developing a mobile application with step-by-step navigation to help patients reach departments, clinics, and services.

Virtual Assistants/Nurses

This project aims to introduce virtual assistants powered by Machine Learning and Generative AI technologies, capable of interacting with patients and healthcare staff via voice and text commands. The expected functionalities include:

• Providing immediate answers to frequently asked questions about symptoms, treatments, and procedures.

• Offering clear and detailed instructions for managing emergencies (e.g., first aid).

• Facilitating communication between patients and medical staff through voice or text interfaces.

• Delivering educational content on health-related topics.
