IN collaboration with TM One, ParkCity Medical Centre (PMC) launched a new paediatric ward with smart patient suite features.
Called the i-Kiddo Ward, it is equipped with cutting-edge room capabilities and uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology for automation.
The ward is designed to enhance patient comfort, streamline nursing care activities and provide convenience to parents and caregivers.
IoT technology also allows patients in each of the ward’s 35 rooms to customise their in-patient environment by controlling lighting, air-conditioning and curtains, thereby reducing the need for help from nursing staff.
These features support parents in ensuring their children’s utmost comfort and well-being throughout their hospital stay.
PMC is a multidisciplinary hospital under Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) while TM One is the enterprise and government sector solutions arm of Telekom Malaysia Bhd.
ParkCity Medical Centre chief executive officer Peter S. Kasinathan said, “In collaboration with TM One, we take great pride in being the first hospital to leverage its Smart Patient Suite Solution in our innovative i-Kiddo Ward.
“By embracing digital technologies, we are revolutionising the way patients and their families experience healthcare within our hospital.
“This is a significant milestone in our digitalisation journey.”
TM One executive vice-president Shazurawati Abd Karim said, “This innovative solution puts the patient at the centre of their health journey. By integrating IoT, AI and digitalisation, RSDH is at the forefront of healthcare innovation.”
As part of its ongoing digitalisation efforts, PMC has implemented a smart queue system for outpatient services for a seamless and efficient patient flow.
A smart car parking system utilising car number plate recognition has also been recently introduced.
The hospital has several other digital healthcare initiatives in the pipeline, including a ward that enables patients to use bedside terminals for ordering meals, monitoring medication and accessing personal treatment information.
RSDH group chief executive officer Peter Hong said, “We are proud of our collective efforts in driving digitalisation, and it exemplifies our commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced patient care.
“Through the collaboration with TM One, we aim to harness the power of digitalisation to create a seamless healthcare ecosystem, providing more personalised and patient-centred services to our community, ultimately shaping a brighter and smarter future for healthcare together.”
