Description

As healthcare facilities face growing workforce challenges and increasing demands for operational efficiency, robotics and automation are emerging as valuable tools to support hospital operations and patient care. From autonomous transport systems to connected clinical technologies, these innovations are reshaping how healthcare environments function and how facilities must be designed to support them.

Join experts from St. Onge as they explore the evolving healthcare robotics ecosystem and the opportunities for integrating automation into hospital operations. This session will examine how robotics can improve staff workflows, support patient care, and enhance operational efficiency while highlighting the critical space, infrastructure, and building system requirements necessary for successful implementation.

Through practical examples and planning considerations, attendees will gain insight into how healthcare facilities can prepare for increasingly automated environments.

Key topics include:

  • Why robotics: labor challenges and opportunities to support hospital operations and patient care.
  • The integrated hospital ecosystem: automated transport, autonomous mobility, EVS and connected clinical care. Automated transport planning: how fleet size and traffic patterns shape elevators, lobbies, corridors and staging space.
  • ATS Infrastructure requirements: building systems, networks, power and life safety, with early-stage space guidance.
